Hello,

My commission is almost finished and the buyer gave me Carte Blanche on the paintjob.

Using this oppertunity, I want to try a Digital Camo Pattern. Somehow they look so cool and I've been wantingbto do this type of paintjob for some time now.

I'll be using stencils and Blue as the main colour.

My question is:
Anybody have any experience with this kind of paintwork? I'm worried the use of a stencil/shapes will give the paint a surface level difference.
I've seen some people do it with an airbrush machine but I'll be using Spray cans.

Any suggestions...

Thanks

After the paint is dry sand slightly everything with some fine grit sandpaper and then apply a clear coat

This is looking pretty good!
Thanks! Was amazed myself by the result. The grey and light blue really work well together.

The remaining colours are a darker blue like the one in my middle signature portable and a black.
Will it be to much or ...

So I decided againdt adding more details.
Sometimes less is more.

Aurelio thanks for the advice! I've added the glossy finish to level the surface and so far it's looking good!

Edit because maybe that was too subtle.
