might try to freehand an outline stripe. kinda dug into the paint when i cut the masking tape. any ideas on an outline color? i have some gloss white and gloss yellow paint, just no steady hand :lol: maybe i should do it with tape, like good looking thin tape

transmaro93 06-21-2009 08:17 PM

yo man you should have called me to help you.... if you used fineline tape you wouldnt have cut into the paint... go with silver or gunmetal outline IMO.... looks pretty kool though..

sweetbmxrider 06-21-2009 09:13 PM

i know, i was really REALLY bored so i went for it. it was fun though. definitely feelin the silver/gunmetal outline. should i paint it with a brush or get some sweet thin tape and outline it?

transmaro93 06-21-2009 10:03 PM

i dont know who makes this "sweet" tape... haha... either or... they usually brush it on... what you should have done was shoot the bottle the outline color first... then get the size of the outline tape fineline ou want.. id use 3/16... layout the flame... tape one side... spray green let it dry... tape other side... spray your black... let it dry... pull the fineline revealing your outline and clear.... bam sweet professional looking bottle... but in your case now id probably try to brush it... if u have a steady hand... and a good brush...

sweetbmxrider 06-21-2009 10:28 PM

yeah i didn't think i was going to **** it up. your way is obviously the pro way. i guess i'll try to brush it. ugh this is going to require the patience i don't have

transmaro93 06-22-2009 03:48 PM

you want to just sand it down and do it the correct way... it will look like a show peice.. im sayen eventually your car is going to be really nice when you get everything done you want and you might not like the shaker can results anymore... but its up to you... if you cleared it with real clear.. .you can clear it... wet sand it... and clear it again... and wetsand it again and buff it and youll never feel the lines... **** would be saaaaawweeettt

sweetbmxrider 06-22-2009 03:57 PM

so should i rid the whole paint on it now or wet sand it and eventually buy some clear and let you pro it out? i deff need to outline it though, it will look nicer and its scratched down to the metal. i underestimate my pointer fingers strength :lol:

transmaro93 06-22-2009 04:15 PM

honestly dude.. i mean they dont look bad... so dont think im knocken your work... cuase it looks pretty good.. but im saying... your gonna want it to look more professional later on.... i would just saand it down and restart it.... but if you didnt want to then yea you can scuff it down and then outline it and clear over it all....

sweetbmxrider 06-22-2009 04:31 PM

well it has to be redone :lol: i just wet sanded it to smooth it some and there must have been something on the paper or bottle or water because i barely made a couple passes and it effed up the paint. oh well eventually i'll have your pro self do it....good :) for now, its tucked away so **** it! i'm goin to give outlining a try for the hell of it.

transmaro93 06-22-2009 05:19 PM

ight kool but lets deff do it before summer is over so we can at least have the heat of the sun help dry the paint... becuase its going to be 3 different colors... when ever your ready man.. im down.. ill even go to napa with you and help youpick the paints and ****...

sweetbmxrider 06-22-2009 05:26 PM
