The lid looks damn nice tony. Your first try too. That's crazy. I don't know if I'll ever get into this aspect of the hobby. It seems like a hobby inside of a hobby. I'll be one of those momos on ebay looking for something pre-cut and painted. 
Again, props on a job well done.

lol candy - i think u and i are the only ones in this forum that paint bodies. We should hold a mini contest sometime in the future.
Competing will take all the fun out of it. I just like painting them up and posting them here. I seem to have a pretty good knack for it. If you've seen the last 2 I did (the Bug and the Speed 6), they are only the 2nd and 3rd bodies I've ever airbrushed. So I'm just getting the jones going. Getting 3 more shells soon to try a few other tricks on.

I paint bodies too, but haven't painted that many, I am in process of moving, so I won't get to paint again for a month or two.

kewl nitrodave - i was getting lonely, lol.
sorry candyman - i just have a competitive mindset. Makes me do better work, lol.
I got the masking laid out, and bought the paint for this new body i am doing for a friend.
it has a shattered, and cracked look to it, with tears coming up from the bottom. top of the car is being painted with faschange purple, then faschange blue, followed by a base or fascolor aqua. the torn up portion will have black edges, with faspearl silver fading into faspearl white. I hope the dual layer of faschange will work, we shall see. I hope to start laying down paint tonight, as long as it isnt raining.

well - i laid down the paint last night......
the color change came out great - so if u were wondering whether or not u can use faschange on top of faschange - yes u can. I also learned that by blowing it really hard, u can avoid puddling. I was shooting it at about 60psi.
alas - the other part of the car didnt come out so well, the cracks look good, but where i planned the silver to white pearl fade...the silver just looks the same, u can't see it at all, i dont think i laid it down dark enough. oh well, I'm sure the customer will still be happy, but I'm not. dont think ill post a pic, as it isnt my best work.
