Jeremy82zx Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 i did this with cheapo walmart 47cent per bottle paint. This is my first try and was wondering if you guys had any tips. i ordered some better paint. It should look better next time i do it with candy orange. Im practicing to paint my 280zx, my dads 300zx and whoever else asks (and has money) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyKnifeFighter Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I think it's a great start. Nice job. My two cents would be that the bottom looks very good but the top just looks a little "sharp" to me - too many corners and not "flowing" enough. I think you're off to a great start and are obviously very talented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leadfoot321 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Good start, you'll get better with practice. You might already be familar with him but you should check out Mike Lavallee's website: http://www.killerpaint.com/index.html He's been on quite a few magazines and tv shows with his incredible flames. He also has some instructional dvds available on his website and some other places online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
