After gaining confidence with the masking fluid I decided to tackle the back. I want to get the green on to make masking for the boxcar red easier. I used Count Dookie's templates for the back left and am creating my own for the back right side. Hope to have initial green on so I can paint the boxcar red this weekend. I went with Euro dark green straight from the bottle for the main color. After this I lightened it 10% with Aged concrete and overspray the center of the green damage to give the mottled effect again. Finally I emptied Wal Mart Color Place royal blue into a container thinned 50% with thinner and oversprayed the green areas lightly with heavier concentration towards the outer edges to replicate the reference photos. This has been a long time coming and the master painters here at TDH are my inspiration as well as instructors. I hope to just come close to their creations with this helmet.
