Whytar said:Great stuff Jeff and awesome colour choice. Can't wait to see the car in the flesh when completed.
Will you take it to any events when finished?

Love the colour too!

Haha. Sorry I made my living as an artist for 13 years. I have since retired from that side of things.

Which spray gun are you using? Devilbiss GT?
Also, do you regularly watch any youtube painters like TheGunMan? He's great for picking up tips on painting. Just wondering if you have any others you watch? I'm about to attempt to spray my little boxster and need all the help I can get!!

I am just using a copy of an Iwata gun. I have used them for years and I always found them to be pretty good. I made my living as an Airbrush Artist for 13 years, specifically working on cars and bikes. Doing everything from murals of Dragons, etc, through to graphics like flames in with marble candy apples, to freehand pinstriping. Although I am not a spray painter as such, as I didn't generally do the prep work or the clear coat on the cars. I did do it every now and then, and I was around it all every day. I am far from an expert, but I have a reasonable knowledge, so that is what I have been going from. I definitely wouldn't look at how I am doing my car as a "how to". Just this is how I am doing it. I am continually getting feed back, telling me that I am doing this wrong or that wrong (which I probably am), but I still think I will get a pretty good finish the way I am doing it.
Ahhh, that explains why you've been so good at it so quickly! It also hints that there may be a little customisation coming with the old paint job??
I saw an Austin Yellow BMW M4 yesterday which had a very thin electric blue front splitter under the bumper and matching electric blue wing mirrors. It looked absolutely ace!
A little accent colour will be making an appearance when I do my paint job, but I dont think I'll go as far as Candy Apple Red flames... :wink:
