Now that's wicked

 

[WickedFog]

Now that's wicked

I'm gonna have to do something about Createx using the name Wicked. Now if they want to change their paint to WickedFog, I'd be ok with that

I mean, it fits right?

I wish I had some kind of rendering or artwork software, something I could upload a photo of the body and just kind of color/draw on it.

have you tried using ai? it can maybe help. i tell it show me a vw baja bug with a green and yellow color scheme. then keep telling it like make it look meaner, now make it have less grey. it often changes the car each time but i get to see a lot of funky color schemes this way?

heres a few of what I'm talkin about

I do a Google image search when I want to browse ideas for paint schemes.

@Littlemotor showed us a harbor freight gravity fed paint gun, and I actually have one so I was just going to give it a shot. I have some lexan sheet I may spray as a trial run. I have the ingredients to make a home brew thinner courtesy of a guide @WickedFog posted about airbrushing.
So, yes, I am going to airbrush this one. Usually I rattle can them.

I do that also. There's always someone that's used the same scheme before.

Rattle can will seal the airbrush when done.

Laquer and acrylic don't play well together sometimes. The paint can bleed after eating through the acrilic. Enamel is even worse. It will wrinkle and peel off. I'd just back it with that charcoal.

That paint gun Littlemotor was referring to is what he was going to buy to spray liquid mask I believe. I had a conversation with Littlemotor earlier today and he was saying Iwata has an entry level airbrush for around $80. If I had it to do over again, I would start with that airbrush. I bought two Master brand airbrushes off Amazon, and while they aren't bad, I am sure the Iwata is a lot better.

I see.

Well the charcoal is definitely a lot of glitter, here’s the first light coat.

I used this to apply it.

I may have thinned it too much, but this is why we run a test

the votes are in and the people have spoken.
Yellow with black and green accents has won the match.
