How do you get all the colours n stuff? Like.. It's not just one colour template, It looks really technical.
All i have used is black and white , there is no other colours used ( apart from orange paint in background )

this car is painted in 2k , whereas the TC was in acrylic , so i had a broader range of colours here to choose from... most 2k cars i have painted have been metallics , as i prefer to paint them than solid colours, hence not having any solid colour basecoat colours to play with.. The black and white here was kindly donated by Matt AKA crazy .

Also , Its all about shading..

there are a few dvd's floating around on the torrent sites that show a few tricks.. interesting stuff if your into giving it a go and learnign a few tricks.

pm me and i'll link you if you want.

Well I want to paint my car in the next few months, and wanted some Unique touches. Nothing crazy, Just little highlights using basically the same colour. Seen it done alot with flames and skulls etc.

Just like Under the bonnet, Maybe some on the bonnet, and on the bottom of the doors.

Ghost flames... im yet to master these , but i think you use a pearl the same colour as the car , just lightly and heavily , depending on what effect you want... DVD's show it better than i could ever explain.
