Title: Cheap do-it-yourself paint mods--flames/scallops - Post by: tikEK on April 30, 2004, 01:43:31 AM Hi all. Been thinking for a while about some paint mods to the EK ( sorry all, but it's close enough isn't it??) - either flames or scallops - not sure which, anyhow, I was looking at using white paint (the car colour is parisian mauve - a light lavender) so to giva a sort of ghost effect. The paint is in quite good condition. As i have never painted a car in my life, I was wondering if I should even attempt it, and if so, what the best way of going about it would be. I hear that 3M masking tape is the business for smooth clean lines?????!!!! I'm not after anything near show quality, but want the look of a 50s custom/rat-rod - all done on the cheap so to speak. So if anyone can provide some much sort after information, It'd be much appreciated. cheers, Lucky Title: Re: Cheap do-it-yourself paint mods--flames/scallo Post by: Jonesy on April 30, 2004, 08:13:26 AM G'Day There
