My first lace paint job

I have to agree with you Safariknut about going around the panels once the lace was lifted. We did this on my roof and it gives a nice edge...

 

I have a question for you guys... I'm about to lace my fleetwood.. I was wondering what type of lace you guys use? Or just type that I can find in a local store. Thanks

 

Pretty much any lace will work, but to be sure, run a test panel to make sure nothing hinkey pops up. Speaking of popping up, I'm sure the intro police will be here in a moment... pssst, check out the link -

- and Welcome!

 

alright thanks.. I've done a couple test already.. they turned out pretty good.

 

Great jobs. I miss seein' lace and cobwebs. My dad used to do a lot of both. We need more paint like this, RIGHT TORQUE-WENCH?

 

well... if mini skirts never come back at least we got the low cut jeans to enjoy

 

lol mini skirts coming back? walk threw any college campus, they never left haha

 

Yep Ken .. were putting lace on the hood of the 58 Apache... orange or yellow.... h..umm

just my luck ...my skirts are mini .. but my ass XL...oh well!!!

 

anyone got some picture of lace on the side of the car??

 

Hi there !
It's my first message on this forum.
My name is Philippe and I'm from Belgium.
I'm searching informations about how to do a lace painting...
I don't find informations about that...
So if you have informations, tell me what

I have a vw splitscreen and I want to do a lace painting on the roof of it.

Like that kind of result :






We can buy that kind of stencil ?

Thanks guys !

 

I'm really wanting some lacework on my 64 catalina when it gets resprayed. Loving that sixties look on cars like that. Mhm

 

im gonna try this on my 64 soon.

 

Lace paint jobs are very cool!

 

Looks very goood!!!!

 

My buddy calls it doily painting lol.

 

Can I sound so ignorant and ask what you guys are actually using for the pattern? Is it an actual piece of lace fabric? Or is there some kind of stencil that works better? And how heavy do you go with the paint?

 

Wife wants this on her '63 caddy.

 

Actual lace.

 

Apparently.

 

Amazing intro post. Simply, amazing.

 

Really guys? Re-focus time

Update? Did the car ever get the final finish?
