Consider in stages, how to paint a car in camouflage with your own hands. It is better to perform work in a well-lit garage, where there is no dust, which could interfere with the painting process. Good lighting and ventilation must be provided. After that, you can start working:
- We cut out large fragments from a vinyl film and we make apertures in them, which will later be spots.
- Glue the cut pieces randomly on the body, then apply a layer of black enamel from an aerosol can on the cut areas. We are waiting, when the paint dries, and apply a second layer.
- We stick a film, prepared for brown spots. The main condition here is that, so that the brown spots overlap with the previously applied black. From an aerosol can apply a layer of enamel, wait for it to dry and apply a second coat.
- Glue stencils for green. We adhere to the same condition: green spots should overlap with black and brown. It should be taken into account, that green is the lightest color, that's why we put so many layers, as needed, so that there was no protrusion of the lower layers.
- After that, remove all the vinyl from the body and inspect the quality of painting. If you want to avoid clear boundaries of spots, it is possible to carry out finishing by means of airbrushing.
