--- Quote from: Spyridon on August 22, 2009, 03:46:53 pm ---Thanks Orion that is perfect. I did find out that my stecils are cut so that if you align the back edge to the cab, it should be positioned correctly left to right. Just need to align it in the correct spot from the top and bottom. Also, somewhat of a disapointment, the side stencils are red, blue black, but the front is blue, red, black. Just causes more work and more paint clean up. --- End quote --- I'm glad those pictures help you. I wonder if they have the stencil order like that for a reason, or if that was just an accident. In any case, its kind of strange. I can see how that is going to be kind of a PITA with the clean up considering your not using latex paint. |

Here are some shots of the original splatter to give you an idea of how dense the splatter pattern is (it's pretty consistent over the entire cab): --- End quote --- Wow, that's a lot more blue than I remember. I did have some reference shots and it isn't as dense on the one I have photos of. I may have to go back and add a bit more blue. |
| WunderCade:
Yeah. That's what I was thinking looking at your pics - not enough dots. So, I thought I'd post some reference shots for ya. |

I really enjoy your resto threads. You seem to approach your cab restores the same way I restore cars. Step by meticulous step. The density of blue speck won't make one jot of difference to the game play when its done, nor would anyone even notice if you left it the way it is, but its that totally 'pointless' pursuit of details that I really appreciate and identify with in your work. |

(again, it's hard to photograph, but there is a lot of blue there) I think it looks pretty good. |
