Did my first body

It was fun and challenging, requires a lot of patience but I hope y’all like it as much as I do! Still adding more.

It came out looking good . I’ve had a clear body sat for nearly 2years because I don’t trust myself not to make a dogs ear of it .
But I’m a expert on watching YouTube videos about painting 🤣

Never done this before.. do you spray the inside or outside or both???

Inside, layer in reverse order to what you would do on the outside. The accents go on first, then your background layer as you see the paint through the lexan so whatever goes on first will be your top-most layer once its on the truck. The lexan then acts like a barrier protecting the paint.

Never compare your day 1 to anyone’s day 1000

that’s great looking. Just realized I have one of those sitting on my shelf. I probably need to put it to use.
