if you like.. hold a piece of stretched out cotton wool on the border of the flame/other effect and spray over the edge of the wool you can make a cool looking feathered pattern. ideally for flames and the like

After being inspired by Galilee's paint job http://www.carpe-tdm...o...=11952&st=0 I decided to dig out an old TDM MKII side panel just to have a go at the Yamaha speed blocks,

First attempts


the plan is to restart the project again, use a white base coat, then use a blue mid layer, add the pin stripe 3mm tape, then a black final coat few coates, then remove the tape, add clear coat, I am hoping to achieve the speed blocks as not visible until the sun light hi lights them..

don't know if I should use the double liner or the single liner

after playing for a while I did this to an old panel, I should have used low tack tape but I didn't. the whole panes needs resanding and filler added, but its ok for practice.


Primer and yellow base added


metallic black




just for the hell of it, I offered it up to the TDM, it will not go on the TDM as the panel is too badly damaged. plus the colour does not match

Well done getting it off the ground when painting.

I didn't know before i started painting, but if you put the piece you want to paint on a table, the drivegas/pressurised air will actually blow away the paint on the edges close to the table surface. Especially when using an air-gun.

To get a nice even coat even along the edges you need it off the ground. Word of advice for the other budding painters in here.

You being the airbrush artist, should try giving the speedblocks more of a 3-d effect so they 'float' over the yellow colour.
I wanted that on mine originally, but had no idea how to do it, slight shadow on 2 sides maybe?

Galilee, the shadowing is an easy part, just make a template and off set to what you want by using a transparent black paint, I placed shaddows on the rear hugger, this was done before I removed the tape.

here is the idea using fishnet tights,



after shading applied.

I was thinking on the side panel placing a skull on it, like the one I airbrushed onto my kids lid.



I know someone will ask why, the answer is just cause I can laugh.gif maybe turn it into a flaming skull

Weather is crap, rain and more rain, so what to do, so I carried on spraying the side panel shown earlier

what to paint by the air slot,



only thing I messed up on painting the flames coming off the skull, bugger dry.gif

washed off the skull and started again.

what to do, flames...real flames tup.gif multiple layer were used





look closer you can see my favorite item to spray

no patience, this one has only taken me about 10 mins to spray and only 5 mins to make an outline stencil. It took me longer to clean the airbrush than it did to spray the image. however I think I got about 1hr left on it.

The hood was sprayed using a set of french curves.

Tempting there Andy,

unforunately I do not have use of a vynal cutter/printer that would allow text to be cut out prior to spraying, the yellow and pink is ease but its the lettering. If you want I can ask a few of the lads on the airbrush website I frequent, however there might be a copyright issue with the design. But if we can find the original artist and ask the question you never know the answer. it could be yep no problem of it could be No.

Some of the lads charge quite high prices for guitar artworks.


using masking tape to produce the letters is a way out of it but the edges tend to feather up a bit.

I will have a look for you on Facebook. to see the guitar in full. could you PM me with your surname, if I did a search on AndyR god knows how many andys I will have to search through.
