If you don't have an airbrush? Whats the matter with a spay can? You're not going to get very good results with a brush job. |

I guess I don't see the point of your question then? You might just as well ask your mom for some painting tips then? You don't think people mix colors for airbrushes? Maybe you just wanted to show off that body? | |

Nothing to be sorry about? Maybe just make it a little more clear as to what exactly you're asking. It seems as though you've already decided it will be brush painted. you know the color you want. What is it you would like tips on? heres a tip for you. Prep, prep, prep. Thats the most important part. | |

so that the paint adheres to the body. heres what you should do. go to walmart pick out a color close to that green. paint it. print out the decals and then clear over that. |
