A touch of genius there mate. Was this technique an experiment or something you picked up from elsewhere?

I first saw this trick on radio control body shells, and its used a lot with air brush painting. So I figured Id have a crack at it with a spray can. I could always paint over it if it went badly wrong.
It didn't turn out as well as I hoped, but after applying all the decals (hiding the mistakes) I'm really happy with it.

Thanks John, as for the masking, I used a tape measure and marked points where it was crucial to be right "or as good as". After that I measured off the first line.
To get the spaces between the wobbly line the same, I put a peace of 2" masking tape across the tank and measured of the line. Then I drew the wobbles on the tape and cut it with a craft knife.
I then pealed the bottom half off and stuck it to the bottom of the tape on the other side of the tank.
All the time petering my missus, "does this look straight" :laugh:
Hope that makes sense to you.
If you're after an @ the best place to watch is the XRV forum they are always on there but you have to be quick to get a bargain. Yesterday an RD04 went for a grand. hmy:

Cheers mate, I don't mind at all, its a great compliment in fact.
I figured paint would chip off, so I left the middle as that's the bit that gets hammered. B)

Just seen this thread,

respect

you've done a great job, from the design to the execution. well done

Have you offered your design services to Jonathan at Rugged Roads. I'm sure that new addition of his will be getting some RR treatment.
