Romulus First Paint Job out of the Garage
This is my first painted job, still have to work on the decals. Lots of fun and kept the bright colorful theme straight through. I think it looks good with the bright anodized build. Can't wait for my next painting project.

Re: Romulus First Paint Job out of the Garage
It looks well-executed.
The rainbow side-pods are a little heavy-handed ... when using a rainbow theme, a little goes a long way!
The checkerboard came out great. Like bear said, no bleeding on your first paint job is a pretty impressive feat.

Re: Romulus First Paint Job out of the Garage
Is that seriously your first??
That is a killer retro scheme and unbelievably clean!
I haven't been so thrilled by a first time since I was 15..............ok...17.
Seriously, killer work!
Edit- looking again, from the rear shock tower back is just unbelievable! Great work

Re: Romulus First Paint Job out of the Garage
First i swear, cross my heart. But i have been working with an air brush for the past 8 years. And the last month thinking it out. It's all about using a fine air brush with light coats, hair drying and letting the coats cool before you touch it, and going slow and taking your time taping. It was very nerve racking, but i am quite happy with it. I can't wait to show everyone my next. I am afraid they are going to all have a vintage to strange style. I really am not into the new spaceship style bodies. I really like the baja 1000 on acid look. Thanks again for the compliments.

Re: Romulus First Paint Job out of the Garage
Thats an awesome finish, but if you've been using an air-brush for a while; you're half way there!
Love the retro scheme too, very fitting!
