This is the first body i have ever painted (somewhat successfuly) and i think it turned out great. I used an airbrush not rattle cans. Let me know what you think!

To keep your masks from bleeding... Right before your going to do your first coat of paint, take a hair dryer, on low heat, and smooth all of them down so that there's no bubbles or raised corners.. Whether your going to outline those flames, or just shoot a solid color, you need to seal the masks by shooting a very light coat of paint around the edges of the masks.. Keep it light, and you wont have a problem.. Just a tip, the more light coats of paint you do on a lid, the better it will look, and the longer the paint will last.. Looks great for your first lid.. Most guys wouldn't even think of attempting a flame job as their first... :cheers:
 
I mean the orange showing up on the green. Also what do you consider a light coat? And do i have to let each light coat dry for a bout an hour?
 
Pretty sweet for your first body, that baby will stick out like a sore thumb on any track :jk: good job!
 
nice job.....if you have a dremel tool I'd go over the edges of your cuts and smooth em out.....wherever there is a small tear is where your lid will start to rip across from impacts......daring first masking job too....how long did it take to do?
