Im gonna start on a build of the 1980 PL Blazer and was curious if any one had tips for a mud splattering effect. I plan to post the pics of the paint process as that is what im starting with.

You could try flicking the paintbrush with your thumb. Get a decent amount of paint on the brush, then just fan through the bristles with your thumb. It's fairly messy, but it may not be big splatters/clumps, if that's more what you're looking for.

 Plus you can always wipe it off (before it dries) if you don't like how looks. Good luck and be sure to post some pics. | |

I like to dip different sized zipties in my paint, then bend them back and flip it towards the body.

use a toothbrush with your thumb instead of a standard brush, works better.
