| I don't think I've ever seen a skull with a pink bow before I like it though. They both look great Evil. BTW, what brand paint do you use? I've been playing with faskolor lately and really like the way it lays down. | |

| lol, that is what they wanted, although I stuck with pink since the flames were pink (the colors were up to me). Thanks
As for paint, I mainly use Faskolor (why else would I have faskolor stickers on my T4) and Createx air-brush paint (stores like hobby loby sells it for like $3ish and normaly it is found near the air brush stuff/and model car stuff). Every now and then I will use ppg envirobase paint, although that is quite pricey so I don't use it very offten (althoug it sprays way better then the the faskolor and createx).
With the WB paint be sure to thin it down more to get the best out of it. Sure you can spray it stright, but it works far better when it is thinned out. It also atomizes (sp?) better witch gives you better fine control over the paint for fades and detail work.
However the chrome is spaz stix paint. I use the rattle can, then back with water based black. IF you go to use that, be sure to spray it in a well vetned area. | |

| I love the T4 paint. It looks really agresive and edgy. Ive never had much luck with paint, but then again ive never used a airbrush....

| Oh, I didn't notice (or at least read) the faskolor sticker I keep meaning to get some spaz stix to lay with, but since I do more static models I'm more used to using metal look paints by Alclad. I have been impressed with the results that I've seen with the spaz stix stuff, and it's probably more flexible than Alclad which seems prone to flaking on lexan bodies. | |

| Thanks Reyzo, yeah it does aggressive look anf it is sweet looking when on the track.
lol side, it is all good. The SS does seem to stick really good with out any prep work (becides cleaning the lexan). It might be more flexable, or it could just be the way it is made, but I do know that I haven't read anything bad about them. I haven't tried the alclad paints yet, but I might use them sooner or later when ever I get back to model buliding. | |
