Well, I got a new camera so i took some pics of my latest body and this is what I came up with. Enjoy.

This is where the magic begins.


The body of choice is the Proline F-350 Crew cab.
After i finish deciding on my design, I begin to mask.


Masked the upper half and layed the first layer of Mettalic black on the bottom half.


Layed the first and second layer of indy silver.


Racing red for the pinstripe seperating the two colors.


Removed the overspray mask and trimmed it up.


A few decals to finish off the body.


Through the whole project, this had to be the most convenient tool.


The conclusion....




This body may look good from the pictures, but remember, no paint job is perfect. This body has a few flaws, but my next body is always my best. Thank you.

Very cool. You are like me, I stick with rattle cans and I get pretty good results. I might try a version of your scheme on my next T-Maxx P/U body.
 
I love your Warlock, that has always been one of my favorite guitars. Oh yeah, and the paintjob looks nice too, lol. I like the color scheme.

Yeah, me too! I wanna be Kerry King! I'm at the age now where the hair's almost completely disappeared, just need to get my head tattooed. :jk:

Is that a Bronze Edition Warlock? They seem to be excellent value for money. Do they play half as nice as the more expensive B.C. Rich guitars?

Warlock the same as the Diembag darrell one? Made by washburn? Them are some sweet guitars. I myslef has a 69' Fender Telecaster (Original) and a New model American Strat, and also a couple hardtops.

Anyway..

Thats a nice paint job! Esp. for rattle can! Alot better than my experiances with rattle cans. Thats a sweet rig too! Looks nice!
 
The warlock's a good guitar. The more expensive warlocks do play better. But anyways, back to the paint job, rattle cans have always worked well for me, but I am planning on getting an airbrush, then I'll get a bit more creative. Thanks for the comments guys.
