Default My First Paint Job

Tell me what you think, some lines are pretty bad but I think it still looks pretty decent.

good job for a first timer and a 3 color job. Good work you will only get better. To help with them lines try using fastmask. stuff works great for doing mutiple colors and keep your desgns perfect.

Updated with decals



and one thing I'm really happy about, cut correctly, shim count was right. #3,068 or something close to that.

Looks great. What color did you back the metallic blue with? It's hard to see in the pics, but if you back it with white, it "pops" a little more.

Nice work

nice job. The last time I tried using more than one color the paint bleed thought the tape. What tape did you use?
