Nice boot screen. The cab looks good overall, but the quality of everything else does still kind of make the marquee look weak by comparison.
Looks like you've got some orange peel on the large black areas. Not sure how you're painting, but here's what I do: build up a fairly thick layer of clear coat by applying a few thin coats one at a time, keep sanding to keep it flat, start using finer and finer sand paper, then finish it off with some rubbing compound and a rag. I use a 3M auto polishing compound with recycled cotton shirt rags. I can check exactly what grits of sandpaper and the name of the compound if you're interested.

Thanks, and.... what do you mean by orange peel?
rablack97:
Orange peel is the texture you get when you paint and don't sand the first coat properly. It causes the paint to build up and it looks like the outside of an orange.
For your selling rigs what your doing is fine, as getting rid of orange peel and getting a mirror/smooth finish is a ---smurfette---....
For giggles.....
Prime, let dry, and sand, then prime again, and sand with a finer grit sand paper.....get you some tack cloth and wipe it clean....
It should feel really smooth to the touch....first coats should be light, then cut it back with a finer grit sandpaper, then paint again and if you do it right no orange peel......Let dry
Then hit it with like 4 or 5 coats of clear, wet sand, and then you can hit it with a compound, swirl x and then buff with wax......mirror like results....
This is sick....

MY GOD MAN, sounds so time consuming.
I saved that to a text file for later usage, thanks a million.
On the subject of marquee art, can any of you guys that have better ideas than I edit this .psd file with something more fitting to the CP?
Everything I find isn't resizing right and is becoming a pain cause I want to get it to the customer. He already said he liked what I had on it but if I put something better I am sure he wont mind.
