[twinkletoestheir...]

so this was my first attempt at painting my car. never done anything like it before what you think.

before



during




where i backed into my friends car lol











after








then thought it was missing something so i bought some red ghost pearl, but it turned out to be more pink and purple than red so i went and bought some red air brush pearl and put it on top

ghost pearl



red pearl



i wanted to put the dragon on the hood with a racing stripe down the back, but instead of the typical racing stripe i put it on like a trail of blood






















yeah i know the dragon messed up it ripped the black and clear coat when i pulled the tape off but this was all trial and error ill be going to school for it in the fall.

I like your idea, but the execution needs some more work I think.
If you want the stripe to be messy, then I'd say what you did with the edges is a really nice touch, proper irregular. However, I'd vary the thicknes sof the stripe as well as twist it a little, make it less straight. Also, I'd spray the main body of the stripe. At the moment you can see brush strokes which isn't great.

Question for you though: I noticed you have an invader style front bumper. Do all the versions of that bumper come in multiple pieces, with the edge to be fitted to the original bumper?
Have you got any instruction manual for that body kit (electronically), and if so, could you send it to me? reason for asking is because i want to fit the exact same front bumper on my celica...

Oh, I have some sick ideas for your car: Why don't you install some amber/yellow/red flashing lights in the opening of the bumper, so you can flash them... It would look like a dragon breathing fire. Would suit your car... hehehe
