take the colors you want as the particles and spray a very light coat through some sort of mesh (i used some mesh made for a screen door) then lay down ur main color *note ive done this to paint the doors on my work bench at home and not sure how well it will work on a lexan body |

its a little on the advanced side.... but you'll get some great tips!!!! http://www.airbrushaction.com/videos...erry-hill.html its done on a shirt so all you need to do is work back from wear he ended. sooo that would be first you highlights..... to balck... to shading the stone then start some speckiling and finishe off with some more shading and some color streaks and back with grayish blacking blueish color or what ever! should be pretty simple! |

ahhh good question! that was a clothes pin! you can you any other small flat peice of material but the porus nature of the wood works really well for holding paint for teh spatter. you can also turn your airpressure down low and actually pinch off your air supply at the line, pull the trigger a few times to flow some paint and let go of the hose slightly if you do this over and over and develop a rythm you can splatter with no clothes pin!

How about the Hammerite spray, not sure what surfaces it sticks to though?

Use a paintbrush loaded with the color of the granite "speckles" and "flick" it on the body....same goes for the other color of speckles....as granite has various shades...
