Shell painting?

[paulj]

Any recomendations for painting buggy bodyshells? I don't want anything too fancy but a bit better than a single can of rattle spray

Oh and an idea of price would be good too thanks

What do you guys use to mask with? I've tried everything from brown 3M packing tape to masking tape, and everything inbetween!

I was never that great with an airbrush, but would like to have a crack at my new ZX-5 shell myself. Nothing too fancy - perhaps just some tribal designs over some base colours - but I'm concerned it will look a mess if the tribal masks bleed all over the place.

And yes - I do know about laying the paint on in thin coats.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hog - Liquid mask is both the present and the future. Just brush on and cut out your design when dry. There is a thread somewhere on this forum about it.

Paulj - I cannot recomend Telboy from telsshells.com highly enough.

This is mine that he did for a bargain price.
