Canopy Creation

Well, I was trying for something different, but I didn't quite expect this. I like it, though. Look at the pics and then see my comment below and see if you agree. Not perfect paint (too much clear coat made it crack), but this thing shines in the sun like nothing else I've seen. It is painted with green, pink and yellow Fluorescent with a touch of red.











I was trying for exotic, but I got ...
A RAINBOW Trout![/color][/move]

awesome BT, ;D
are you using an air sprayer??
if so try a little less volume, maaaybe a little more air also.
what you what is nice thin layers.
i usually shoot on a piece of cardboard first to see what it will look like,& how the gun settings are going to react. especially with clear coat.
just a tip BT

Spray cans via Home Depot. It was pretty good until I bumped it when it was wet. I had to sand and "blend" a spot on the top and got the green too thick. Then I lost interest in perfection.

Wouldn't mind trying an airbrush, though

i gotta say, that is pretty damn good for a pi$$ can.
good job BT ;D
i would say besides missing spots that would look just like a rainbow trout ;D
