Default First Marbled-body Attempt (Hard Line)

Here is my first attempt at a marbled body.









A few lessons learned...

- The more pratice the better. I went through a bunch of lexan and 2L soda bottles practicing with colors and technique

- I used a plastic bag, after going in the paint, dob it once before you dob it on the body, this will keep from putting too much paint on the body.

- I've painted a handful of bodies, this is the first time I got smart enough to mark the body post holes before I painted, this made mounting the body super easy.

- This will be my last paint job using rattle cans...

Thanks for looking.
