Man don't change the rules, keep them the same (this is your challenge). I am NO PAINTER, but I would like to see some of the artwork with the challenge in front of them. As far as anybody else goes the best words to say is " ".

Can't quite understand how people don't think its a challenge to make a good looking body from 2/3 colours. I'm going to be painting a shell with cans on a budget in the next few days. I've got meself black, white and metallic blue, but I've now got no idea what I'm going to paint with them. It's actually really hard when the only inspirational shells have about 6/7+ colours and are airbrushed. If I decide not to use flames and it comes out ok I might post it here...

in my opinion my best shell ever was done with cans still i'm just starting airbrushing, i'll post this bod i am talking about soon. it is used and a bit bashed up though.

airbrushing a body so that it looks impresive takes time, practice, idividuality and creativity.

just try doing the craziest shit you can imagine. the most important thing is exectuting the idea, and cutting the masks in the right order/way. if ytou lay a light colour first back it with white or silver


i like this challenge, but the bodies i am painting for people need to have more than 2 colours and fades in em

That would be extraordinarily unnecessary, considering there are only two bodies shown so far.

Don't worry about it, I don't think there is much chance of your clear & decaled truck winning. I'll post all of the entries in one place when the time comes...

I forgot to mention that it is only sprayed with two colors. The rest is internal decals from XXX.
