    Hi, I love the look of this tank (minus Jimi) 
    Does ANYONE know how to create the effects?  I'm looking to do this on my Sporty project.
    Cheers

    Soapbox is on the money with the technique..

    Black then Silver then cling wrap

    The flowers were done by putting a precut mask (outline and the internal part) onto the silver base and then the tank partially sprayed with Candy Yellow followed by Candy Red (or Orange?), Candy Green then Candy Purple, Then the internal part of the flower was removed then done with the the candies on the internal part of the flower. The outline mask was then removed leaving the silver outline.

    Jimi is a precut mask which was painted black
