| |  rattle can paints!
things have really changed over the years. last time i tried to paint with a rattle can it leaked, it made a mess, nozzle would clog and it had no consitancy. i painted my motorized bicycle all with rattle can and they are good. i know how to airbrush but had to try this and i am really impressed. no clean up. with an air brush clean up takes longer then painting. with the can to clean the nozzle you turn it upside down and a quick blast. boy things have changed. any department store you can get it in auto area. here is the paint job i did with it and a little tape

How do you do the masking and stuff on the tank and chain guard? Looks pro.
A little step by step for painting flames...I assume you cut a pattern?
I'm not good with that kind of stuff, funny that I'm surrounded by female artists in my house. I'm just the Mr. Fixit Dude at home.
Your rear whitewall looks like ****. |

I have changed my mind no car stickers. I want stickers of wheel chairs, and hikers carrying those sticks and wearing knee socks. maybe a cat or too as well in honor of Norman and rufus. i wonder if it is five hikers and you are an ace. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
