Thanks i'll have to try that on one of my next ones (i've got another 3 shells to practice on!) the first one wasnt that adventurous really, there was no fade effects on it, apart from yellow and silver at the front which i did with a spray can because the shop didnt have any yellow in jars. I'm definately going to invest in some liquid mask as the paint bled in a few places. I'm just looking around for ideas at the moment.

What paint did you use for that shell? I guess i could do a similar thing with silver instead of chrome? I like playing around with metal flakes so might put a layer of them on first

[jonmiller]

spaz stix for the colored chrome. indeed, play around with different backings to achieve different effects.



pics are abit grainy. light was abit dull. nevermind














thanks,
jon

ok... a lot of the pro painters seem to use vinyl cutters.. but sounds very expensive. i dnt think i have the skill to cut something like that by hand though, its way to intricate!? can you/do you sell the cut shapes for the flowers? pm me if you do

cheers
