I painted this one last night , I dont know how everyone else dose it , but this is how I did it. I used 2" tape on waxed paper , then drew out the patterns , then cut them out , then peeled off the tape and put it inside the body. I put some over the top of others. I painted the black first , I wanted a black base , then peeled off a few of the masks , then painted the grey , came out too light for me , then peeled off the rest of the masks , and painted the white. I think it looks alright. Not quite what I was going for , but cool none the less. HAHA , kind of looks like a Holstein milk cow DwaneO |

Yeah, I was thinking something like that. My buddy owns a vinyl shop(sticker type) and I may have him make a few different patterns for me and do it that way.

I traced the patterns on the outside and marked them Dark,medium and light. Put down a couple coats of liquid mask let it dry and started cutting out patterns. Here is a pic before i took off the outside film. I have alrady painted the Dark and medium After the medium I used a cream color for the light and then backed it all up with white. |
