Need help on painting a Carbon fiber hood

[jon2]

Ok I am going to try out airbrushing and I want to simulate a carbon fiber hood..Any Ideas? I also want to try out one of those XXX main paint masks are those worth it? are there any other manufacturers that make a paint mask? :flamer:

Buy a carbon fiber hood. Just kidding. That seems like a really complex paint scheme. Hope you make it work.

I Do have one on my real car but I don't think my car will be moving much with it on it LMAO!!!

Ok, correction, buy a carbon fiber hood for your RC...

Thanks guys but I was hoping to paint this not apply a sticker. It seems that the effect will be longer lasting and more realistic!

Robriguez you rock that was an awesome link I am going to try that out. I will post my finished body when I am done. I have to buy the paint now!!!

That IS an awesome link, Rob. I'm not much of an airbrusher YET, but I've bookmarked that page as well. I'll see if I can't put my Paasche VL Set to some good use.

Even I thought that link rocked. I took extreme pride when I noticed pretty much all of the "Don't" were done on every body I ever painted. I was beaming with pride!!!
