Default I'm Standing my Board Straight up to paint next time..

This way I don't have the hose touch the surface after the paint is applied..
Oh well... It's my first misstake I just learned from.. I'm going to still play on it, I hope it'll level out after I lay the clear coat over it..

Hey. Why don't you throw a little brown on the spots to give it a dirty worn look. Just a thought. That is the fun in doing it yourself. Trial and error.

But, I will retexture the Tan, Yellow " underneath the green " and respray the field after I fill in the misstake made.
So far Today, it's coming back to life.. But when it's time to stirp the stripes!? Aw Man!? it's gonna be a scare!? hoping I don't take alot of paint off with it..
I already know I'll have to trim each piece witha exacto to keep the paint from over peeling ..
Here's a view of Round 2 ... This time, I went on ahead and painted the End Zones for it's first coat..

Default Here's a few more of the Recovery Stages...

Like I mentioned earlier. I'll be repainting it all to get it to look leveled with the paint lines on the Field...

Default Patience

Slow down your working to fast, spray in light layers give the coats time to cure before the next.Never try to get full coverage in one pass, If u spray in light coats this eliminates the build up around the mask lines thus a better finish when removing masking.Dont wait to long to remove, when the paint dries hard it removes paint around taped lines. Back up your to close to the surface creating hot spots.U control the paint dont let it control U.peace.MW

In the beginning, every thing looked alot realer!?, then when the air hose hit the field!? I got off track dramatically!? I forgot how to restrip the mess ups, and try to cover lightly..
So I'll take this one on the chin for not painting it sideways.
By the Way MW!? which way do you think should be the proper way to paint the field? Flat? or sideways? holla back Thanks Champ!!
