    Painting...

    I've decided to get a set of race skinz for the mille but now i have the problem of painting it. I am new to painting my own skinz...so any help would be great! If i had a design in mind would it be as easy as getting a stencil and paint over it, followed by a seal? The idea of having a solid color and just have stickers all over it did come to mind but...i'd prefer to have it painted

    Rustoleum did this, and touch ups are just a rattle-can away.. (Safety red, appliance white, and Royal Blue)

    We did alot of masking for the stripes/flames, and just had the stars vinyl cut.
