Colors and Secrets
05/27/10 at 1:44am
 
Well guys, I want to reveal some of my secrets that i learned over the years of my body creations.  
1) Good colors that I fell in love with and Used. Some where explained by others over the years.  
 
Metalic Orange.  

 
This was achieved by spraying translucent orange backed with Copper then black. The more frost you put the lighter the orange.  
 
Dark metalic blue.
 
Heres my first time using it. It got darker over the years.  

Can You tell the difference?

Translucent Purple, metalic blue, then black. More purple, the darker it gets. But tooo dark makes it a purple hue.
 
2) How to get rid of bleeds and you do not feel like getting the paint remover 80 miles away.  
This i remembered had some of the worst bleeds ever, since it had many 90 degree curves. I was constantly saying "sh*t another one!?" This also had a very complicated scheme. I know it dont seem like it, but it was for me.  

 
Secret? Use tooth paste and ear cleaner(forgot the name, thing with cotton on a stick lol) //you tape off what you dont want to take off. Then you place a bit of tooth paste on the ends then rub away. The toothpaste acts like veryyyy fine grit of sand paper. but its enough to clean up paint and keep it clear. then wash away. And ofcourse your body is ganna smell very minty lol.
 
part 2. If you do have paint remover. I believe they still sell some in warricks. I use to tape of the area then dip a tooth pic in the solution for a couple of seconds. It lets the wood absorb the liquid then rub away (not to hard).  
 
Here is a body i used for tight sharp corners. The tip of the birds.  

 
I will explain Angel eyes when I get a chance. Hope this helps!
