In our previous tutorial, we explained and outlined how to easily and
effectively use our SRC EASYMASK product. We featured some of Steve's work that can be acheived at any skill level with basic technique. In this
follow up, I will go a step further and show you exactly one of my many techniques from start to finish that will hopefully produce a
concourse winning paintjob. Like any concourse paintjob...ultimately, you're left at the mercy of the judges........Personally,
i look for the recognition and good advice is to take the same stance, the rest will follow.
I find the hardest part of any paintjob is
working out a graphic that sits well on your shell and at the same time trying to keep a colour scheme/layout in mind. This is a
time consuming part of any new shell graphic and good advice is to take your time. Im going to use a lightening bolt type graphic
seen here. Something as simple as this can be striking (pardon the pun).
Firstly I'll draw out my design, then scan it and print out a template to the right traceable size. Im also using a double ended
permanent marker that doesnt smudge reasily. These double ended markers are available from SRC, or some selected stationers. Its one
of those things you need to search out and decide what will best work for you.
What I've done here, is lightly taped the printed out graphic to the inside of
the shell using a low-tack masking tape. I have drawn what I need and then repositioned it to lay down some follow on bolts that
will carry through to the back of the shell. You'll notice a double line. I did this before I repositioning, this gives me a better idea of where to start and finish the next lot of bolts.
Personally, I find that its easier to just draw out the outline of the graphic and then take away the template to give me a clearer view when
drawing the outline.........
