what kind of paint gun did u use on this video

[DirtDesignsGraphic]

@hefty88

That gun was a Finex 100, they no longer make them, the replacement is the Finex 1000.

Both are made by Sharpe.

Could I just use a blower attachment on out air compressor to spray off the crap instead of buying a tack cloth?

@ksidornseif

You could but you will find very quickly that it won't remove it all.

@ksidornseif cant afford $2 for a tack cloth?? Any painting ESP if you were doing effects where people actually look close to the paint work you need to use tack rag...

if you wanted to make this in color, lets say red, would u use a red base, and mayb a deep red to spray the mesh with? like how would u do that?

[minipritch1]

could you not just do a carbon fiber hydrotransfer? that would be a lot easier and give you the exact carbon fiber look

Do you have to use the reducer.pleeez reply

[marc20999]

I prefer 3M vinyl, look better is the easyest way, and if you dont like it you can remove it
