Does anyone know if its possible to have a frame painted in the same way that some mid school GT's were painted?
Im restoring a 93 Vertigo and I really like some of the splattery marbley swirly whirly plasma paint that a lot were made in. The frame I have is raw already so its a pretty blank canvas.
I dont have any photos to hand as im on my phone :daumenhoch:

Do it yourself Gav :daumenhoch: I fancy doing my other Decade in a spatter
Just make sure you pick the correct 3 or 4 colours so they look period rather than a heavy period :LolLolLolLol:
Experiment with flicking toothbrushes, paintbrushes etc on some lining paper until you get the hang of the look you want :daumenhoch:
Its a bit like csi miami :LolLolLolLol: If you study the blood spatters you can sort of work out the angles and speed the paint was flicked at :)

Ah that looks cool Clint! Definitely like that! :daumenhoch:
Did you go for a baked clear coat after to seal it up nicely? :daumenhoch:

Wish it were mine Gav :'(
Just dug out the pic which i was looking at for my decade, but yeah a top coat of clear would be a good idea :daumenhoch:

Well it sure is a beauty! If I could replicate a similar splatter I would be very happy with that! :daumenhoch:

You might have to wet n dry it before clear as I would think that paint will be really thick and bumpy?
