Default Some paint work for The Cow

Heath asked me to shoot this Xtreme Racing buggy in a COWRC.COM theme. Here's what I came up with.

Nicely done. Its a winner in my book automatically since Im a bull rider.
Very unique no doubt, never seen a Holstein pattern on an RC body before now.
Just for fun in say'n, you should try a brindle pattern!

Maybe you can add some hair to the mix using a technique like this one?

Actually that is a cool trick us painters use. You just dip a stiff toothbrush in paint and lightly pull the bristles back and let the paint fly.

Again, all the cow shells you did turned great.

Yep, just like Norm said, the stiff toothbrush trick works great.

Thanks again for the compliments Norm.

That is Fasflourescent green from Parma. I laid down three coats and then backed it with white.
