Building Custom Decals

[dylspe94]

Hey All. Im pretty much a beginner, I have been doing cars for a while, but not too seriously, but I would really like to get into it.

So here is my question:

I bought a 70 Chevelle SS Revell Kit. I recently went to a car show and saw an Plymouth Duster painted White with Gold Detailing sp I am painting the chevelle in the same way. How would I make the striping decals from white to gold or make my own????

Also The rims come stock in chrome, How would I paint these in gold? would I sand the chrome and paint em, or just go ahead and paint em??

PLEASE HELP!!

Dylan

not sure about your striping question, do you want a solid gold stripe

or do you want to fade it in ?

either way i think your best bet would be to airbrush it

either that or get some BMF in gold

as for the chrome rims, grab yourself a little siplock baggy and toss them in there

then spray on some easy-off over cleaner and let it sit for a minute or so that will take that chrome right off

then you just rinse it and again airbrush the gold on

just make sure you do it right the first time so you dont have to make three separate posts..i mean...atempts
