emlouise Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 canica blue Hmm, I don't know if it'd go with the colour of the car.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeA Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Do it soft blue then? Just thought itd be a nice light contrasting colour as opposed to the gloss black or body colour that everyone does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emlouise Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I can't find anywhere that does the paint, any ideas? Yeah it was a nice idea I don't think I'm brave enough though just incase it didn't look right. I was also thinking maybe white, but wasn't sure on that either.

jamiea7x Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) to do the pinstripe what you would do is paint white around the edges, let it dry(24 hrs)then get some flexi fine line masking tape, mask your line, then paint the whole thing your colour, wait till dry, remove the masking tape, youll now have your white painted line then just go over it all with laquer,very simplified guide Edited October 29, 2012 by jamiea7x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loepan Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 you could also try pin strip over by sign writing, maybe with a posca pen,then laquer, depends on how good you are/steadyness with your hands? jamiea7x is right if you want a bang on finish though just make sure you use painters tape and not masking or any other porous kind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
