Members isuck Posted October 2, 2008 Members Share Posted October 2, 2008 With all of the spraying you have been doing lately have you thought of setting up some sort of booth? In the background of the photo's you can see the over spray building up. Your builds are great and thanks for all of the photo's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ryan Trevisol Posted October 2, 2008 Members Share Posted October 2, 2008 That looks awesome. Build up 4 or 5 coats of clear, and then wetsand that smooth, and you'll have one cool 3D finish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DaveAronow Posted October 2, 2008 Members Share Posted October 2, 2008 Hey just an idea if you havent sprayed the water yet....If you actually lay a few coats of clear on OVER the silver BEFORE you spay on the water, and do the water drop effect, it will result in a more 3 d effect, more like beaded water droplets on the surface of a highly waxed clearcoat, like a car. If you do the water drop effect immediately over the silver, and THEN clearcoat with no intermediate clearcoat step, it will still look awesome, but slightly less like beaded water on a highly waxed surface.I think....In theory.Anyway, thought it was an idea worth looking into if it could improve the overall result for little extra work.

That would definitely add depth to the paintjob. Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
