Well, this was my first time using an airbrush... Vega 2000. There were some very frusterating parts and some parts that I've known how to do. This is my 7th body ever and I'm 15.
I couple firsts that I tried on this body were:
carbon fiber
lettering
shadowing (even though you can't see it)
mixing paints
Masking: Hobbico Master Mask (worked GREAT with an airbrush!!!!!)
Colors used: (createx)
Blue, Black, Red, Orange, Yellow, White, and "Polly Scale" Stainless Steel
The flames were a breeze because I have been doing then on pretty much every body. Then I did the carbon fiber... THAT was sooo nerve racking omg. I tried it, and put the silver on way too thick so it looked like CRAP. But I acted fast and sprayed some thinner on there and it all whipped off. Then i tried again while making sure the lining was completely flat on the body so it would come out nice and crisp. It worked! Then I did the shadowing, but you can't see it because the base color turned from blue to dark purple when I backed it with black
I dunno, I kinda like it now 
Then I finally did the lettering, and i was a complete retard because guess what, BLACK. So i had to pretty much guess where to make the cuts on the letters, so they kinda came out like crap. I tried to make them match my wheels, but it was the wrong yellow. O well.
If you have any constructive criticism and comments, i'd really like to hear some. I kinda figured out what i need to improve on next time, but id love to hear some comments!
