Unorthodox Painting Method

RUSTOLEUM! Whoda thunk it? Every fiber of your being says no, but....it works. I had my doubts about this stuff but it turned out pretty good.

All i did to paint the plane was to spray about a foot away from the plane and to spray in short bursts. This method works because its the propellant that melts the foam, not the paint itself. To do this i had to use more paint because about half of it went everywhere else but the plane. But it was worth it. I did notice that the foam did get soft in the areas that i put the paint down to thick, but after a few hours it hardened up again.

I also put on a clear coat which worked out very well actually. I was kinda worried about the clear coat because the weight of the paint, but I can't find much of a weight difference. If there is a weight difference its probably not much though.

A few tips though. I wouldnt reccomend blue painters tape. It will jerk the paint right off if your not careful. You can put some water on the tape to make it less sticky but that just makes a mess of things.

Also if you want to put designs on the plane make sure you have everything else covered. Because the spray cans arent exactly accurate. There made to put alot of paint down all over the place, so be careful with that.

Yes Red Bull. It gives you wings!

 Also yes the mirror effect was done....wrong.
