How To Paint Flames On Your Motorcycle Or Chopper
Beginners guide to painting hotrod flames. Material and Supplies 3/4 inch masking tape Fine line 1/8 tape 600 and 1500 grit waterproof sandpaper x-acto knife orange and red paint for the flames pre-cleaner paint spray gun airbrush clearcoat multi speed polisher buffing compound Flames or any other graphics should be painted on top of a clear coated base. Along with giving the overall paint job more depth, applying the artwork on top of the clear coat makes it possible to remove artwork with a rag and some thinner if you make a mistake. Step 1: With your 600 grit paper, thoroughly wet sand the clear coat on the surface you're about to paint. Step 2: With your fine line tape, lay out the shape of your flames, working from left to right. Push and pull the fine line tape into position with both hands working in unison. Pay close attention to the balance of the area to be painted, and the background (that will be masked). If it seems tricky, don't sweat it...you'll get the hang
