damn, that simple?
haha, makes sense but now i feel retarded

 

[demo]

i did it, you have to learn from experience, cause it is very hard with spray paint, and it is hard to get over spray on the opposite color. so dont try it, unless you want to f-ck up your bars. but it might be good.

wat do u mean by overspray?

im gonna practice on some old t-tubes and stuff

 

[demo]

it is extra paint that misses the material you are painting, and it gets on the opposite color that you are painting, then i looks ugly

 

[Scott Trainer]

i get wat u mean

i just painted them and it didnt come out to bad, it started to drizzle so i kinda rushed on the touch ups. but like u were saying, im sure it takes some experience to do something like this
im satisfyed with it as a first try

ill post some pics soon

sound pretty sick i might try it

yeh from what ive heard just do it clean at the bottom, and as you start to go near wherew the fade is you ease the can away from the bars.
then with the top colour start from the fadde(??) and stay further away then as you get higher up move can in abit.
