Painting experiment underway

Interesting technique.

Disposable eyeliner brushes work well for smaller areas, cheap as hell too.

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the 2 part post but I'm way faster typing on a keyboard.  

Initial results: 

Guinea Pig #1 La Fasta Pro Acryl Bright yellow green acrylic paint applied with make up sponge.  This is just the paint, I haven't clear coated or glossed or anything.  I think this was a great success, it does look very nice, no brush strokes or even tide lines. This is after about 6 coats.  Application of coats is fast, applied with medium amount of paint and when applied to car kept blotting around until dispersed evenly.  Recommend a try.

Guinea Pig #2 Muscle Bound Green stuff world candy ink amelthyst purple acrylic paint applied with make up sponge.  Initial attempt looks very splotchy even more so in person than in the pictures.  Not sure if it is the amount of paint or the way I applied it.  Not satisfied with this run, will have another go, this is with 2 coats, may look better with a few more coats.

Tools: this is what the sponges look like, they are a dense foam and can be found at the dollar store, large one in a single pack, star shaped in 3 pack, and the small acorn shaped 4 to a pack.

Guinea Pig #3 first stages, VW Kafer racer Green stuff world colorshift paint first coat applied, nature of paint requires many thin coats of paint that must dry completely before next is applied.  Visible results will be a while, but I will keep you posted.

Overview and thoughts so far:  Really like how it works with regular acrylic paint will be using this as my main way to paint cars.  Since I use acrylic paint I strip existing paint off first, then use Duplicolor sandable primer before paint application.  For my gloss coat I use Krylon triple thick glass clear glaze.

If you have any questions or comments, please let me know. 

Thanks!
