So I am spraying test cards messing around with paint effects for the Volksrod, and we are doing something fairly unique. But it got me thinking... What paint jobs out there really set a car aside from others? Use of exotic materials? Novel techniques? Airbrush fun? Old skool charm? So. Show me cool paint jobs! Anything from in your face garish to really subtle. Something, anything, that sets the car off and makes you look twice, rather than away in disgust. The rules: Must not be a factory option for that car Must have come from a spray gun(none of this vinyl wrap stuff!) To get the ball rolling: And to pea-roast an old horror:

Have you thought about cob-webbing?

Have a look at lowriders, have some of the best standout paint jobs around.

We have something special in mind with the Volksrod
How does the cobwebbing work?

Thinking about what might suit your car, I immediately thought of some of Ed Roth's cars. That style could well be adapted to the shape of the VW body.

How does the cobwebbing work? As I remember cobwebbing is done to fresh paint before the clearcoat. Basically, get your freshly painted part which is ready for clearcoat, The light your acetylene torch so that it's burning rich in actylene but weak in oxygen and is producing lots of soot. Then wave it near your freshly painted part until you have put enough soot on to it to suit your tastes. Then clearcoat... Job done! You can obviously produce soot in lots of ways, candles are quite good for this, but the acetylene soot is kinda stringy and cob-webby!
