Well here is my first paint job in a year. Last year I had just started nad was only doing drops and flames and decided to start off with some thing different. Made a few mistakes like the shadows got real globby, didn't accent the graphite on the roof too well, lines were not the smoothest nor the painting lol, and choices of colors (I am my own worst enemy). I will have to experiment with thinning the paint more and smoother lines. Any tips greatly appreciated!

not to shabby man - i like it - the colors are great - it is differnt and has a good pattern to it.

one thing i would recommend would be some type of separation between (i.e. pinstripe or shadow) the flourescent green and white as well as tje dark green and white - i think the same dark green would look good as a pinstripe for the flour. green and then maybe a light shadow highlighting the curves and sich on the white would look good - it will just give it alot more depth.

a silver or white pinstripe around the carbon fiber up top would really make that pop as well.

i know pinstripes can be a pain in the rear - but it can make or break a paint scheme....

just me .02 - keep up the great work - stay with green - it is different
