I must be weird because I like the top two better

One thing to keep in mind, yeah if you did the entire body like that it would probably look terrible but as a panel within another color, it would probably look great.

yeah on this body it wont be a large part of the body but a very visual part. Im feeling better about my attempt with all the good responses. Gonna practice a few more things and then probably take it to the body.

If I ever use that key lime green and black marble on a body and
someone asks about it. I'm going to tell them, "That's the
Flying Monkey Effect". :

Az-Cowboy

to get the Perfect marble effect. DO NOT USE Plastic wrap. Use Plastic Grocery Bags, EVERY one has those laying around...NEVER SPRAY ON THEN CLOT...ALWAYS put a few drops on a se[erate piece of PLASTIC, Pull the bag apart in 3rds, Criinkle it up in palm, Dam the plastic in paint them dam on a sheet of news paper 1 time then pic a pot to start. that is the focal pointe of the marblw effect. then dab on the body. light pressure. then work your way around, if its to dark or to much paint take another of plastic bag and dab, it will pull some of the paint up but leave the right amount. when you pess down only do lightly and straight down and straight up. or it will give you tiger streaks. after 15 years of custom paintng cars the marble effect i have mastered very easily... if you really wanna do cool stuff, choose a main base color. and do the marble either a shade lighter or darker. if you do a Blk base, then do a charcoal grey marble.. its SICK... if you have question bout this feel free to message me..

Im with Az cowboy!


use a base color and then go lighter with it for the backing color, After that I back it with white! Letting each coat dry so colors wont bleed into each other!

Here is a Car I just did this week end!

bought some more paint to try different methods but have been side tracked with my truck lift project, I havent had a chance to get back out there and play some more.

Impressive! The use of color gives it a 3D depth to it.

Thanks. I did a bunch more tonight (about 15 or so), different styles with different shades in different orders lol. Finding out some colors just dont work in wrong order lol. Also tried different methods of getting marble effect with plastic wrap and a plastic bag.

Thanks. I learned last night hand cutting mask isnt my strong point...especially circles. Couldnt use a stencil cause of body contour either. So going to look into a small vinyl cutter. Think that will be more my speed least till im all healed up. Hand shaking alot right now. hope this body wont be totally ruined.
