This was done with a rattle can, and I just want to get an idea of the steps required. How do you get to this point?

 

It's gotta by a foil or something you lay on the paint when wet and remove. You place it on and remove it. kinda like dapping it. But you lay it on gently then remove right after laying it on. Kinda like doing gold or silver leaf. But not leaving it on maybe??

 

What is the process called? I would like to look it up on youtube.

 

Try spider webbing car paint

 

Ok. I watched that, and I have no idea what they were spraying.

Thanks - I'll look up spider webbing.

 

Or maybe this. there are so many things you can do to paint

 

Look up Saran wrap painting. That's what your looking for.

 

Exactly---

 

I knew it was something like that. I was going to say paper or sponge. I love paint there are some many crazy things you can do. To bad I can't paint. I grew up watching my stepfather helping him wet sand, Bondo, mix paint, braze. I was young and he has long since been sick. Wish I could paint never learned. I Always run the paint

 

The important thing about painting is to keep moving in a uniformed pattern.
Give the paint time to flash off between (1.5min) coats & runs shouldn't be a problem.
Most custom finishes are from painters screwing up & trying to fix the problem. using short cuts.
Watch some vids on you tube & give it a try on some scrap parts.
Solid colors are easier to learn with. Metallics & candies take a little more experience & patience.
But the same basic form is used to apply them.
