Water Effect
This is a popular effect and gives alot of depth and there are alot of variations to this technique
I was lucky enough to learn this one from Bobbo
We start off with a red scuffed panel
I'm not to happy with the red so I painted it orange and sprayed a light coat of
Zirillic pearl in some 222 over it
after the paint has set up for about 15 minutes I go in with the water bottle and start to spray it on I found that spraying
it up at an angle gives it a more random effect
Here is the panel with the water on it don't make the water drops to big or it will take forever
for the water to evaporate
Now its time to spray some paint I hold the gun sideways at a low level so that we only
get the bottom of the water drops don't put on to much paint keep your
pressure low and I over reduce the paint a lil .
I just added a lil red toner to the original orange paint to darken it up.
Know I go get some yellow and do the same thing from the opposite end and using
very lil it will go along way and I use the same spraying method
here is what the panel looks like after I was done spraying the bases
I let it completely dry up and here is what we have
I don't wipe it or tack it or anything I make sure its dry and spray some clear over the
panel and here is the finished product
Here are the three colors I used for this demo
this is the orange of the panel
and here is the yellow and red
this makes for a cool background effect to fill up space or as a whole panel
here is another panel using this background
