Spray the dark blue 1st let it cure completely, very important. Get a glass cutting board. Lay out some delicate masking tape. Mark on the tape with a pen the flame design and the straight lines. Use a fresh sharp blade, cut it. Pull what part you want left the dark blue. Lay the tape down the clear over the tape, this seals the edge so the next color doesnt bleed through. Spray the next color let it cure completely before yoy unmask. Thats how i would do it.

If this is your first attempt at painting a truck I think I would try a one color paint job first. You don't say whether you have an air brush or if you will use a spray can. In either case doing a paint job like you show is something you might try after you have had some experience with painting.

Give us an idea of what you have done so far. Perhaps we can offer some advise that would better fit your situation.

I agree with the others,that is a pretty ambitious paintjob for even a seasoned painter,a lot of prep,layout,masking and so-forth. For a first-time paintjob. My suggestion would be to practice,practice,practice, till you get the "basics" down before attempting a job like this..........................................Mark
