You do a very nice job!!

Where do you get the decals that show the weight cap. of the car. Do they come already set up as shown in one piece or did you have to set them up in that order by yourself?

Thanks

Dale

Hello Einstien, the best thing is i can weather trains, spell and type on a keyboard.

[customweatheredho]

I use Rubbing Alcohole or water on a Q-tip, And lightly rub it off. If you dont like the whole side of the car, Use a Clean-x with alcohole or water and wash lightly the whole side of car (Only use Acylic Paints for rust jobs) Enamal paint YOu have to use Air brush thinner and it's messy and will make you high, Open windows if you have to wash with thinner.Any leftover paint in cracks will go away with next paint job or incorperate into next job ....hope that helps freand

Graffiti looks good, but you might wanna focus more on the "weathered" part. Also, you can buy some TRIM FILM for your "black reporting mark areas". It will make it look more cleaner/smoother. One last tip. To keep finger prints off the car, wear some gloves.

Hey thanks for the tip but i don't know what trim film is i new there must be a way to overcome that problem but i could never figure it out. Also the weathering i love but im trying too sell them on Ebay and such and i found more people like the Clean graffiti my own R stock are trashed copies from original cars which is the best i believe, Im going to make more weathered cars for people soon. thanks again for the tips,

Thanks so much for sharing. I am just getting into weathering and these videos are extremely insightful.

Great Job on this car! Even though the final image is better than most weathered cars i have seen, i think you spend too much time weathering, maybe that amount of time on the graffiti because its much harder painting free hand with a brush but with weathering i think that 00.13 to 00.34 should take a much smaller amount of time :-)

Fantastic job! Did you use solvaset or something on the decals to make the clear parts disappear?
