Splatter

[Maxbashing]

I have seen an increasing number of shells with cool paint splatter effects. I fancy having a go at doping this and wondered if anyone could offer me any advice in how you create this??

I'm guessing that it's not as simple as putting some paint on a brush and flinging it at the shell or am I being stupid??

Thanks in advance for your help.

It's that simple!

I have a little pot, I water the paint a little so it's runny,
For me that's key! It give you the proper splatter effect.

Then just, get your self a 1" decorating brush and go mad!

Don't try and control the splatter, random looks better!

As above.... Just chuck it! I use a fairly chunky brush and flick it on. Cracking effect for little effort

You can also 'rag-roll' a kind of splatter by spraying paint onto a scrunched up freezer bag and then dab it on...that creates a cool look too...

Thanks for replies. So it really is as simple as I thought it might be (although it saounds simple I bet it's hard to get right) My next spraying adventure is for a club members shell so I might not practice on that....
