you can use rattle can, but preferably put through a gun.....
IMPORTANT!!!! YOU NEED TO GIVE IT A GOOD FEW COATS OF PLASTIC PRIMER, BEFORE YOU PUT CELLULOSE PRIMER ON!!!!! OTHER WISE ITLL FLAKE AND REACT!!!
as for the badge, i just used my standard one.....
my golfs gona end up being kustom crazy with the airbrushing, on the interior etc....
if anyone wants a custom cover doing, id be more than happy to do one for you! :smiley:
-
where u at and how much then?
-
i live in chesterfield, but live in huddersfield (term time) ---- student! lol!
im not bothered! pay for paint and ill do my best! could do with experience more than anything!
Im a designer, so tell me what your after and ill try come up with summit! :smiley:
-
engine cover looks smart as m8 ,iwas just going 2 paint mine black but youve got me thinking now
-
well i was just gona paint it silver 2 match the car, but ive been airbrushing for a while now, and thought id get a bit done!
little logos and designs are cool......... like my little turbo symbol..... 10 mins on photoshop!
what you thinking mike?
-
Im thinking blue to match me samco's with a little twist, see wat you think of - looking for something rele smart mate!
-
ash, why not do a samco blue basecoat, to match ur pipes, then some kinda personal logo blown in a lighter pale blue which fades out to the darker blue.
or a contrasting colour like yellow or orange?
id be tempted to use a colour to split the blue up actually, like my engine bay is green and black, you should have blue pipes with a different engine cover..... posibbly orange would suit best........
its up 2 you! :wink:
-
cheers ash
-
cheers? what did I say?
That sounds good mate, I havent actually got a cover atm but il give u a ding when I get one
-

apernetly there a 2hr video on u tube that shows u how to air brush i havent found it yet tho forgot bout till i read this post again ill av a look if i find ill post the link
-
yeh there are quite a few vids on youtube for airbrushing, but none of them are helpful really........ they explain how something is done, but not how to doit ...... if you know what i mean???!
the best thing to do is just experiment yourself, and you'll see how its "easier said than done!"
-
ye now wat u mean im goin to order 1 from work tools book and have a play looks like fun lol u never now i might be able to do it
i did see 1 vid on there bout carbon fibre look like paint job i was quite impressed with idea but didnt really show the end product mite have a go at that as well
-
yeh the carbo fibre one by ed hubbs at fill blown kustoms............. great idea but really doent work!
i tried it with a small piece of non-slip tool matting i had....... did white squares over blue, it just smudged everywhere when you take it off!!
there will be a top secret plan behind it! lol! :smiley:
-
