The graphics are painted from the top to the bottom, weird i know but thats the way my GF was taught in her TAFE class. She did it for 2 years at Wetherill Park with one of the best artists in Sydney. The base colour is marked out in fine line tape then masked and covered to avoid overspray. It is then painted and this is done for each solid blade. Then a 'pinstripe' is layed around the edge of the blades just as the body was. Its a very time consuming process but this is how it is done. Then once that is finished, highlights are added with the airbrush gun to soften the lines and give it depth in the design.
We did it all ourselves, and so we have all the leftover paints if they are needed. Also there are loads and loads of spare parts leftover from the build as we have had a few and are looking at moving on. Ask if you are after anything!
