SleepyC · 03-09-2011, 03:44 PM

Hey guys,

Over the years I have had many people me how I paint my car bodies, so I thought, Hey what a great first topic for our new series of "How To" videos.

So I did it!

As I stated in the video, I'm not a professional or an expert and there are probably many guys who could paint circles around me, but this is how I do it, and it seems like many people enjoy my paint schemes and style.
So take away what information you want, and most importantly,PLEASE ENJOY!

Nice video! I like to use budget equipment tools too, that way you can spend more on parts/upgrades. Truck came out really nice. Thank you for the video.

Nice vid man. I have no paint skills like that at all. So I'm more of a rattle can hero.

SleepyC · 03-14-2011, 12:16 PM

Thanks, but seriously, take your time, and it's really not hard. I find rattle cans harder than airbrushing!
