Anyone have good tips for someone who will do this once and then probably not again for quite awhile? (As in, I don't want to spend much). What things do I really need and what can I get away without having?

I will be painting a body for my RC10DS and I am planning to do a red to orange(or yellow) perimeter fade.
I might do a V sort of thing on the front and I was wondering how I should do that? I just want a colour,then the V in silver or black or something and then the fade maybe. If that is too complicated I might just leave out the V thing.
If I do the V thing, should I continue the lines on or will it look good kust stopping it at the edge of the hood.

BTW...If I back a flourescent colour with silver will it look mettalic?

I should be getting all the stuff I need soon and I will post a pic as soon as I get one.
