BIGGTONY How do you plan to do such a complex camo?

I have been thinking about it for some time and today I did a ''bench test'' of my method to see what I could do. The colors I used are not the colors I'm using on the Leo.

I used the workbench as the first color, some tan I had extra of as the second color, and a green as the third color. I used brush instead of the airbrush but I learned some things...

I got some bleed through at the places the tape overlaped.
Tweezers are a must!
This will take a long time to do right.
This will only work if I can touch up the spray with a brush using the same color.
This could look awesome.


A step by step of my method in pix... Advice from others is always a gift, even if you only pass it on.<br type=''_moz'' />

looks good, you just have some bleeding going on.....make sure to press down the painters tape firmly and you will get crisp lines guaranteed

The best way to "guarantee" no bleed through's is to shoot a coat of clear over the tape before applying any colors. The clear will seal the tape. And of course, allow it to dry.
