Cool, but do you know of a stencil or something to make the flames(by spraying), or some sort of a decal? BLING BLING

get some water slide decal paper. you can do a search for it on yahoo and you will find places to buy it. ive seen it on ebay also, but its usually more expensive on ebay. it will allow you to create or find images from the internet and then print them to decals. you will have to scale them down a bit though. just paint how you want then apply the decal over the top and then spray clear.

Thanks, do you know the price range of the paper?

[Spanky]

i think its 18.99 plus 5.95 shipping thats for 10 white sheets and 10 clear sheets

store with decal paper

you can get it on ebay also but you will only get 10 sheets for like 14.99 plus shipping.. so youd be better off to buy from an auctual store than some quack on ebay.

that price is for the laser paper, not the inkjet paper... inkjet paper is 22.99 just snoop around their site you will find the laser paper also.

whats the trick to getting a really nice paint job? i tried spraying my blue skyline with a yellow tamiya spray can and it ended up horrible...i heard that i was supposed to sand it really finely first, put on an undercoat and then an over coat afterwards...is that true?

[Spanky]

kinda. what you needed to do was spray on a primer first. using some 400 grit or finer sandpaper will help the paint stick to the car. just dont sand the windows. once youve primered the car then use the spray paint. and your colors will come out better.

Twenty dollars for some stupid decal paper is ridiculous!!! If I got some, I'd only want like two or three sheets, I'm not starting a frickin decal service!!!!!!!!!
