How to do blue cloud and wonderbread

I am trying some new paint patterns using createx paints with an air brush. I would like to paint blue coloud and wonderbread. In what order do you put the colors on and which colors do you use. Thanks Charlie

Wonderbread is very easy. White base coat or pearl base coat and then just spray the red, yellow and blue dots for the wonderbread.

Blue Cloud is another story give it a shot.

With blue cloud I spray the blue parts first (I lighten up the createx blue) and then spray the pearl around the blue and on the edge to clean it up.

give it a shot. I looked at some older plugs and I think they sprayed the white over the blue (the whole plug being blue) but with cretex the pearl is extremely transparent. I think they used more generic paints.

I think NS posted a Flo green cloud a while back and I had to paint one. Another awesome color.

Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

With Createx or other water based craft paint you can easily wash off a bad paint job, so get right in there boy. ;-)

i like wonderbread with a scale effect
white base, then pink/yellow/baby blue 'spots

then netting over the whole plug, white again

thin paints work well, low air volume...practice making small

controlled sprays

Another idea for wonder bread is to use those little stick on circles that reinforce paper in a three ring binder and just spray those , should give a pretty uniform circle.
