  Turned out fantastic! Years ago when my friend got her first motorcycle she did the lace trick on her helmet using black, pinks and White. We are both artistic and inspire each other. Been best friends for 40 years and met in 2nd grade.

  I did my closet doors and draw fronts with the lace.  If you take it off while wet, it softens the lines.  One of my favorite painting tricks.

  I used the plastic gutter guard to make my crossbow look like carbon fiber camo it turned out really cool, although it looked more like snake or dragon scales.

  Cool techniques and well described but I was waiting the whole time to see it come alive under a thick coat of clear!

  1,5 years into custom painting and only now I found your channel... gold.

  I've found the best control came from using a flexible toothbrush and the same cap/cover to flick the paint directly to the surface area to be painted

  I got a trick that happened by accident (the best kind)❗️While clear coating with a touchup air sprayer, some airborne verigated  goldleaf powder got into the mix. The result on a black MC tank was amazing. It made the whole paint job providing depth in a outer space look.

  When I was younger I did something similar to the paint in the cap trick.  I put fake blood in shot glasses and flung it on my bedroom walls, ceiling, and bed.  It left nice splatters and where it pooled on the wall and on the ceiling where it dripped left it a nice darker color like older blood.

  Awesome! Now get it laquered to lock it all in and make it really pop!

  The water trick - if you towel it off BEFORE the paint dries completely, the water detail will streak a bit with the overlay making a bit of a double layer in places. Even cooler than just with the straight water droplets. Personally I like doing a base of three or so colors (just spray splotches in random areas) for instance, gold, rose and forest green, then overlay with the water technique in black. Because you wipe it while the paint is still soft/fresh, you'll get some areas that are black and some that are a greyed version of the underlying color and some that are a more vibrant (water as the resist) of the colors beneath. This was one of my favorite techniques we used in our paint jobs.

  Wow, those effects take me back. Retired now, but haven't seen them since I started custom painting bikes back in 1988.

  just a tip for anyone wanting to do the carbon fiber pattern that I use on lace patterns is that you can spray your base coat very lightly on the shelf liner, let it dry, and it will be tacky enough to stay in place
