My first paint job

[DawgNutts]

Broke my cherry on a GMC Topkick today. There are several messed up parts on here, but I think it's decent for my first time.

Excellent for a first time!!! Using 4 different colors can be hard enough knowing what your doing let alone breaking your cherry. Nice lid!!!

Thanks!
I was kind of rushing and made a few mistakes. Had to run to the hobby store and pick up some tools/supplies. I did this one with spray cans, if I find a good deal on an airbrush kit, I will get it and try that.
I got an El Camino shell that I want to try blue flames on. Bought a few lexan sheets to practice on. When I get it done I'll post some pics.

Great job! And check out eastwood.com for starter airbrush kits.

Nice work. A lot of times it can be very difficult to get pinstripe tape/masking in tight curves. After you get your taping down initially go back with a hairdryer and warm the tape. It will make it more flexible and make the adhesive a bit stickier. Just try to press it down well as it comes back to room temp. When I start spraying I go over the entire lid and look for "pulling" and warm/press them down right before paint. At any rate, that's damn good.
