how do you keep your car's on the top of the pepsi bottles

I use 2 pieces of printer paper. Roll them up like a stick, and tape it.. Then put a tape ball on top if your paint stick. You can stick your car to the stick, and paint it from all directions..

Good luck.

also if the car is moving from the paint hitting, you are spraying too hard.

Mountain Dew, Pepsi, or Aquafina bottles. I sometimes put some water in them to give them some stability when I'm using the airbrush.

I use a bent up wire clothes hanger and duck tape.
Same deal as Payaso's method with the paper stick. Except the hanger is bent so I can set it down without it falling over.

I use any 20oz. pop bottle with tape wrapped around the end.

I always fill the bottle with water, because too many times I've gone back outside to find my body blew away.

I prefer my car raised off the surface, because its easier to get even coverage along the bottom edge, and you don't have to worry about paint sticking your body to the surface, and chipping off when you break the body free.

BTW, you guys do realize it's called 'duct tape', right? I thought so, just checking.
