Belair2k Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Looking good! I often use a black marker. If you choose that route be sure to get the "industrial" version or whatever they call it. It has a large tip but it won't run and won't leave that nasty bluish or purple tint that the regular black markers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has a large tip but it won't run and won't leave that nasty bluish or purple tint that the regular black markers do. I do the same ... a Sharpie to be specific. They come in a number of tip sizes and shapes and the tip can also be cut easily if you need a different one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAone Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 i like to use all three elements, brush, aerosol and airbrush. with brush ill use a fine tip, 00 brush. airbrush is the best. better control of how much paint you lay down. if you use aerosol, try to spray light coats. if you spray a heavy coat, the paint will dry to the tape and come off or give you jagged edges. all using semi gloss black. i dont like the markers cause they can be too shiney to get a rubber look.

n8dogginz Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 yea i bought a testors paint marker to pull this off, but the paint flows way too fast for my likings. I then thought about the after effects a sharpie gives off, and it may actually look more like rubber with a sharpie...ill probably go that route, my paint is looking really good and id hate to mess it up from lack of patience from a brush and tape. BTW what happened to tips and tricks section?!?!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
