you should feel proud. i know guys that have been painting for years that couldn't pull that off.

The cobalt blue base was already sprayed and prepped for me when I got there, so I'm not sure how many coats of that, but I sprayed 3 coats of orion silver and 2 coats of tangerine. The tangerine is very even, its possible I was closer in some areas just because I'm new at it, but I did shadow aroudn the edges in front as well as the shadow in the over lapping flame. For the shadows I mixed silver, tangerine, some purple and very little black to give it a better feel than straight black.
As for guns, my airbrush is an Iwata HP-CS, but the spray gun belongs to the shop I painted at. Next time I talk to them I'll ask what kind of gun it is.
and paul, my striping isn't up to par yet, i didn't want to ruin my own work, so he got a local guy to stripe it. Supposedly was happening this afternoon, I'll have to call to see how it came out.
