Doug is right about the drops and shadows too, so polished and crisp.

Hey Chuck, Great job on the carts ! Was wondering, are you in the buggy business, or are you just painting upon request ? I have been wanting to get a buggy and fix it up for both the landscape business and for hunting purposes, love looking at your painting schemes, you have a very nice talent with them.

to all, thanks for the comments!!! i sort of fell into this golfcart painting. approched a dealer on a consignment. it sold before i got out of his driveway, and he ordered 3 more that day. this has been 3 years ago, he has other dealers that pruchase from him. he has given my name to his best customers, so i also do for them. i have 2 steady customers, and a number of others that order from time to time. i also do mc tins and have recently got into doing some mc helmets....now those are fun to do.
again, thanks for the comments

The golf carts look nice.Looks like you have been busy for a little.

ok, this is how i do granite..
my base coat is grey. i use the primer that i have applied to the cart.
i then use either magenta,blue,or purple in the airbrush. the color depends on my mood or the customers wants.
i use a cloths pin on the end of my airbrush and spray onto the clothspin aiming at the cart. i keep the bursh about 2 ft away or so. this should give you random spots. move the airbrush around getting the coverage you like. i have added a pic of the clothspin on the edge of the brush.
next i use black in the brush, using the clothspin and moving about the cart in the same manner as before.
next i use white in the brush, using the clothspin and moving about the cart as before.
now i look at it and if it needs a bit more of the first color i will add it,the same with the white or black.
i use black to lay out the cracks, and holes, very randomly.
i use white to add the highlight to the cracks and holes. keep in mind where the light it comming from...viola....you have just made granite...
