Default How to lay out a quality camoflauge paintjob

hello every one this is my first how to that i have ever submitted so dont get mad if i leave some thing out.

Supplies:
1.Xmods body of any sort or any car body
2. Xacto hobby knife (i used a swis army knife)
3.Masking tape
4.Krylon camouflage edition spray paint(best results for camo)
5.Card board
6.Latex Gloves(optional)
7.Patients(recomended)
8. Paper towel (or any stensil type material)

STEP 1

Lets start by dissasembleing the body and all the parts you want to be painted.


STEP 2

Mask all the peices that you don't want to be painted like the headlights, tail lights, windows, ect....


STEP 3

Put the body of the car on the card board and give the body a nice 1st coat of primer which is flat paint. (can be any of the krylon series since they are all flat paint.)



STEP 4
Let the car dry for about one hour so the paint could harden(Car can be touched after 20 minutes but the paint is not very hard and might smudge or affect results.)

STEP 5

Here comes the tricky part you need to have your stencil ready to be used now. You put your stencil over the part you want painted and you spray. some perople use masking tape as their stencil so they have a nice even painting but i personally do not reccomend it (i have tried and it comes out pretty bad.).

repeat as many times necessary to create the design of your liking.



STEP 6

Wait until all the paint is dry and make all touch ups needed.

STEP 7

Reassemble your nicely painted car and there you have a very nice looking camouflaged car.

(I will post a picture of the final product soon the hood and rear bumper did not come out like i wanted to so i have to redo it.)



ENJOY

Jon
