I'm working on a paint job for a GT body I bought last night. I'm doing it like Haunted Myst did his Yellow Jacket Thunderstorm paint job. By the way HM, if I post any pictures of my body, I will be sure to give you credit for the paint job idea. Anyways, for the lightning, I bought a China pencil. I'm guessing this is the same thing HM used. It looks like a grease pencil to me. I painted the liquid mask on last night and cut out the area for the yellow this morning and painted it on and let it dry. I just got done backing that with sprint white and when it dries, I'll back it with indy silver. I'll probably let it dry overnight and then peel off the liquid mask stuff and draw on the lightning. After that, I figured I would airbrush a thick black fog around the yellow and around the windorws and after that, spray paint a metallic blue or green on and then back the whole thing with silver. Anyways, is this a good method to this? Is the China pencil thing I bought the right thing to use? Thanks for any info! Matt

That is exactly what I used, but I don't like it as much as my method. The lightening doesn't look as strong. I haven't tried the coffee stirrer filled with paint method yet.
