Pcs of my latest paint jobs.
Here are some pics of my my latest paint jobs. These aren't vintage, but this is the readers rides section, I read, and these are my rides. I guess you could say the GT is an extremely modified vintage truck.
Anyway I just want to show off a little and get some opinions/constructive criticism.
The GT was done a couple months ago so it has some war marks already. The HPI super nitro RS4 belongs to my buddy, but I painted it for him. I'm getting better, the GT is probably my best paint job yet.
The GT...
I can honestly say the GT looks better in person. No matter what I do I just can't get the colors to come out rite in the pictures. The flames are not one color, they are a mix of three colors, in person you can see the highlights. The shadows don't show up very well either.
The RS4....
On this one I tried to shadow the vents. You can see it on the hood and the roof scoop a little. I just sprayed on too much black. When I sprayed the black and looked at it through the light it looked good, but when I put the white down the black just over-powered it and they ended up looking mostly just black. Oh well, I'll know to take it easier on the black next time.
Over-all I'm pretty happy with these paint jobs, but still wanting to do better next time!
So what do you guys think? Got any tips for me?
