Did you do anything other than spraying a little green paint over the white paint areas?

yep - the whole thing was stripped to clear blue vinyl except the eyes - not that confidant in painting the eyes back in yet from there I laid a base coat of white to all areas in order to give the overlay colors a boost in brightness from there I added a silver fleck and 2 different tones of green got any more hate? |

Really? sure looks like you just sprayed a little green on top of the existing paint... Here's an image of the original paint:

Wow, why would you even strip it just to re-spray it white in the same places? Did you strip the teeth and nails to? |

Did you strip the teeth and nails to? i stripped it down with an idea in mind and the green initially didnt pop like I wanted so i stripped again and laid white under it and it helped with the true green color poppin out teeth and eyes were left - i dont have a steady hand to piant details yet but am practicing anything else? |

i have a feelin no matter what I do ill get bashed by a few here regardless im wondering, in your opinion, what I need to do to step it up - do I really need to fade 6 different colors into a toy to be considered "good"? cause to tell ya the truth - i dont like 6 colors all over - becomes too psychadelic |

well. do you use a single or double action airbrush?... it looks like you use a single, and i think if you experiment with a double action you could greatly benefit since you think you do not have a steady hand. |

This for instance looks like a rejected color sample of the finished product. The orginal is more refined than the custom. I think it is supposed to work the other way round. Caked on paint is also usually bad. |

i think its more me than the equipment - im just wondering what it is that qualifies as a semi-decent paint job - i gotta get some VCOLOR thats for sure i do enjoy spraying the clear toys more so than the solids - i like a little see thru action so im not wanting to cover an entire toy with paint - I like the direction my new skullbee is goin in - maybe i have touched upon somethin with that one - who knows Ill keep settin em up and you guys keep knockin em down (thanks to those PMn me with legit tips and tricks) |
