If you have ever been affraid to try your hand at painting with One Shot, don't be. This is a very easy paint trick, almost anyone can do it with minimal supplys. First, you need some enamel, One Shot black and white,some mineral spirits, a palet(I use those free rental papers with the shiny colored pages)and some brushes, I am using a Lowel Cornell #3 shader and a #0 round for the detail.
First I put a little black in one corner of the palet and some white in the other corner. I mix up a mediume steel gray and paint a small circle and add some wigles to it.
Then I mix a little more black into the color I just made to make a shadowed color for the inside top of the bullet hole. I take this color and make a small circle in the origial squigly gray spot I just made.
Then I clean my brush and go back to the first gray I made then I add white to it to get the highlight color on the bottm side of the hole..
They are nicely done but please explain why a sane person would want those on their car, unless it ws for a temporary movie stupdio special effects?
I let that dry for about 10-15 minutes and I paint a black circle right in the middle of the two gray colors in the center.
I can't explain that, only how to paint em Next I start adding a few little detail lines with real thin black and there done.
I have mostly painted these things on mini-trucks, so go figure ,But hey they only take about 4-5 minute each so it's easy money and it's fun.
When the glass cars started getting popular, some of the "Steel Is Real" guys started leaving bullet holes in or even adding them to prove the car was steel. But,,,and I'm not going to mention any names,,,I know of a couple glass cars that had little sections of steel with bullet or rust holes glassed in.
I look and laugh at the decal ones that are put on sideways or all different directions on the same panel. The dark shadow has to be at the top and the light at the bottom, (like these are properly painted), or, if you want the to look like a bullet exit hole, you can light the hole edge and put the dark shadow at the bottom. but the dark shadow shouldn't be at the side unless the car is on an angle to a bright sunset. Yea, I see the decals sideways and upside down more often than not. The one's I like are the one's on the back of Norm's "Kookie II".. Oh Yea, those are REAL bullet holes!
Good tech piece k-member and righteous looking holes!Have you ever tried any on glass?About the same time and you can get a nice effect. Ray
Thanks Safariknut, Never tried that one, looks to be done in a simular manor. Although I have done spider webs on windows.
