F150 (take 3)

F150 take 1...

...F150 take 2...

... and now F150 take3.

This was something I had in my head. Decided to try it on the ol' F150. It was pretty simple, only had a couple issues, mostly the clear coat laying funky on the windows, but I can easily rub that out later. While I was at it I shaved the mirrors, door handles, tail gate latch,and rear emblem.

I think it came out good, I'm satisfied. I think maybe this time I'll leave it.

Dang man no strike outs for you that truck knocks it out of the park! That is a great choice in colors man! I really like the wheels on this one where did you dig them up?

Pimptishes for sure!

super clean CD! I'm a sucka for flames, but that truck is slammin. It's weird that the windows came out like that. What kind of clearcoat do you use?

SWG, I think those wheels come with the upgrade kit (which is dirt cheap right now)

The same kind of laquer that I painted over, and that was on the rest the body. Duplicolor. Why it reacted with only the windows I do not know. Paint can be very mysterious sometimes.

SWG, he is correct, they are from that last RS wheel upgrade set.

Great color combo, Red and White has always been a favorite of mine.

But the thing I like about your color choices is the unique greyish dividing the two colors. It makes a nice little addition.

When you spray it CD, What are you doing first? The red, white or grey? I've always had a problem trying that out so I just stick to one color and then hand paint the rest and it is just too hard to stay consistant.

That greyish color is straight up gold. Not sure why you're seeing it as greyish.

As a general rule, lightest colors go on first, which was the case here, white, gold, then red.

Paint the top colour first

. The car looks like it is red with grey & gold accents. So the grey is the 'top colour" then the gold. So spray on the grey, mask, spray on the gold, mask, then throw on the red. At least that's how I'd do it

Now you think my white is grey.

For the record its white on the bottom, gold stripe, metallic red on the top.

I think maybe you guys are seeing the black ground reflect in it. Look on the hood, it should look gold to you on the hood... I hope, I just got a new monitor, it looks gold to me.
