Looks fun. I might be interested in doing the lens hood of my 70-200. What does a $10 striping job look like?

Look at the photo on the top the green striping. To do the striping around the hood with more lines about $25 because I may use up to three colors.

You just never know once I get to striping who knows what I come up with.

To get the flame effect there are seven colors and two types of clears.
Black
White
Orange
Passion Purple
Kandy Apple Red
Kandy Tangerine
Kandy Spanish Gold
Concentration Clear
Finish Clear
Clear hardner

Using the kandy colors to create layers and the effects.

@Carrbowl...if you want a logo on your hood lens then we can add that too. Price depends on the logo design.

Thumbs up Airbrushing'n - 04-11-2011, 12:18 AM


Very nice Juan!



I do some airbrushing myself but I do it backwards.....LOL

I paint R/C bodies and you paint those things from the inside not on the outside so that makes its a bit challenging.


Anyway, nice work and you inspire me to do something with one of my hoods!
