Does anyone have any thoughts on the best way to replicate this marble effect? Should I spray white, then florescent green on a bag and apply it to the body, to spray florescent green then white before backing it with black? The challenge is with the black in there that it doesn't overpower the bright green.

I'll test it on some spare lexan first, I'm just looking for some ideas to try.

I would spray the whole thing with black and while it's wet use a paper bag to dab off some color. Once it's dry spray the green and then back it with the white.

U can also try taking saran wrap and making it into a ball and dabbing it in black paint. then dabbing it into the body where u want it marbled. Then spray your green then white.

That would work, but you have to also paint the rest of the body black too.

Assuming, that is, that he wants to paint that same paint job.

Lay the black down and lay Saran wrap over the black paint and scrunch the saran wrap up in a few spots to wrinkle it then paint with your green color and then back the green with white. That should give you the look you are looking for. Same with the grey.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'll try a couple of these methods to see what turns out best.

When you say dab it, I'm assuming you're talking about a bottle of paint and not necessarily a rattle can right?

Yep just squirting some out on something and dab paint right in it.

I've never tried this but thinking out loud.....maybe you can dab in some liquid masking to mask off the area you want marbled green. Then paint your black, remove the LMF and paint the green then white.

I'm not a pro paiter so my thoughts on this could be way off base. but I think if you sprayed it black and tried to remove it in spots all you're going to end up with is smears and not clean clear areas for the green.

I'm just waiting on the Faskolor Fluorescent Green then I'm going to try a few different ways...

-Apply black with seran wrap then spray Flor. Green and then white
-Apply white and Flor. Green to seran wrap and dab, then back with black
-Spray Flor. Green then white quickly and then seran wrap before either dry
-Spray black and then seran wrap and back with Flor. Green then white.

I'll post my results afterwards. I plan to have this done by the end of the week.

So I decided to get an airbrush last week. I tried the first method I had listed and LOVED the results. I may try the other methods, but I think I might just work on the detail for this method before I put it to the body. What do you guys think?
