I'm painting my truck. so far i painted it a storm gray color. i dont like it plan and want to do scallops along the side and hood in black with a silver stripe to outline it.

but i was thinking painting the inside with lace, like this

but i dont know how to do it. I've look around and got some pictures but no real directions. have any of you guys done it before or know how to do it? all the help the better.

then i have a V8 emblem on the hood where the O and R should be. that I'm going to do some pin striping behind it.

im i used to work in a body shop but never did that but i would assume you lay down the color you want the lace and then put lace on top of it and secure it somehow, then paint over that with the second color you want then throw lots and lots of clear on it when you spray it should ALMOST run if your using rattlecans it make it harder it is a talent gained from lots of mistakes lol

I see dodge.

What the hell is a dodge bed doing on that ford. Thats like breaking the eleventh commandment

 

[MUDDOG7375]

I thought the exact same thing. Why the hell would you put lace on a truck?

The Dodge bed looks good, it will go nice with lace.

BEST looking thing you can do with that truck, is built a simple flatbed, then flat black the cab.

 

[Salt-Man]

you might as well paint it PINK while your at it :uke:

 

[FordFilly]

OMFG......... I'm a girl and even I would never think of painting lace on my rig. EWWWWWWWWWWW! And I agree with the rest of them about a freakin DODGE on a FORD.

 

[Cornfedwhitey]

I think you all scared him off.. lol

 

[hav24wheel]

i like how the body lines match. almost looks factory.... maybe it would look better with flowers instead of lace. lol

but i was thinking painting the inside with lace, like this

i'm not seeing any "laces" on that old car.....maybe wrong terminology?either way, the dodge bed has got to go.:goodfinge

 

[highhorse78]

That is pretty gay, not to mention the lace. I've seen something similar in a display book at the local Keystone. It's actually a very thin film they use. The snakeskin design in the book I saw might actually look pretty good for a custom job.

 

[ford514]

well i tried the lace thing on a plan piece of metal and it didn't look to good. kinda was gay looking. and that bed was on it when i got it, i have a flat bed that i just have to get the time to put it on. i will be doing the scallops, i just don't know what color they'll be. i want something hotrod like but i don't like the red with white.

hmm maybe its a ford cab and nose on a dodge truck

I seen paint jobs done like the lace using other patterns thought about trying it myself

but you need to fix that poor truck as it is gender confused in a bad way

Or do the "marble" look with wet paint & then putting saran wrap over it...Just look it up on google...Its easy to do but I cant explain it good enuff...

"snake skin" just get some fishnet stockings ( if you were thinking of lace you probably have sone in your closet)....Lay down your base coat then when thats dry lay out your stockings & tape in place when you get the right "scale" look & then paint your skin...

 

[4drbronko]

Next time pick a better lace example. lol

I think it makes for a cool accent, but not over too broad of an area.


That saran wrap trick works good, makes for a cool effect.
