hey guys heres is a new water drop how-to for you all to enjoy
alright guys finally got around to painting an typing this one up :lol:
i started out working in House of Kolor paints for this round but again, the same effect can be achieved with spazstix
NOTE: I HAVE TRIED THIS WITH FASKOLOR AND ALONG WITH A FEW OTHER PEOPLE, i CAN NOT GET THIS TECHNIQUE TO WORK WITH THE WATER BASED PAINT .... i have tired diffrent additives with no success, although i have not yet tried a glycerin, this may help but in keeping a bouble but i dont know if it will fix the faskolor problem
ok now that we have all the water based paint users booted out lets get down to buisness :lol: :P
all you need for this technique is a spray bottle with mist setting not a jet setting! :lol:
color wise you can do this technique with any color you want but usually a light, a dark and something inbetween for the base coat will work. such as a red shadow, yellow highlight, and orange base. This time im useing a white hightlight ,black shadow and magic blue pearl for the base
Step 1
first step would be to prep your body as usual cleaning out with soap and water or wiping down with a wax and grease remover, i start by scuffing with a gray scotch bright pad from the auto body supply shop to promote adhesion for the hok paints.
i threw in a some fire and and a little extra something seen at the end of this how-to
Step 2
position the body laying on a flat surface as demonstrated in this next picture, i sprayed up from this angle to get a finer mist, and then chenged to straight above to get some bigger drops practice a little to get a feel for how the water will fall
the result
Step 3
in this step we start spraying with basic white for the highlights you really need to get a good flat angle on this and make sure to watch wear your over spray is going, i had a design up front to keep the white from making too much of a mess. i sprayed at about 30 psi with a very fine mist pulled about a foot back as low as i could get and i came in closer to just make them a little more obvious for this how-to
and here you can see the result and what your drops should look like
Step 4
at this point we want to do the same but from the opposite angle with a darker color, for this one i used black
NOTE: be very careful when handling the body the water drops are very delicate and you can disturb them very easly, almost like a childs fragile little mind :twisted: (hey this is the "darker" color step is it not! ok ok i'll leave the bad puns out of this one....
result
Step 5
time to let this wet little thing dry out here i used a halogen lamp to speed up the drying process (damn A.D.H.D!!)
Step 6
at this point i got bored and added some stencil work but here is wear you want to back it with what ever color you choose, remember that the white and the black will mute it down somewhat just from the over spray
what it looks like after it has dryed out
THE FINAL PRODUCT
remember to check out www.extremepaint.biz and www.cfxpaintworks.com if your interested in my paintwork or more how-to's (i hope the links are ok with the mods  )
