Still more paint stuff part 2
Posted: Tue Aug 23, 2011 4:25 am
Still working on my document file and trying to straighten out my computer.Here is some stuff I've worked on in the last few weeks:
First up is a pedal car patterned after a 1932 Ford roadster.This was done for a friend of mine's son.The car is all steel and the louvers in the hood are actually punched in and approximately 3/8ths of an inch long.
I wanted to see if I could paint a double stripe on them as I usually do on a full size car.Using just the very tip of a standard Mack 00 sword striper I managed to stripe all of them. The rest of the car was relatively easy after that.
The next two projects are R/C cars that I picked up at yard sales for $5 apiece.They are relatively large size(nearly 2 ft. long)and I tried again to scale the striping to match.These are just the first color;a second and perhaps third color will be added tomorrow.
Lastly is a guitar I striped for a customer tonight.He had a couple of days between gigs so I did it up for him so it will have plenty of time to dry before his next job.
