this is flip flop paint:



when done right, it can look fantastic, or it can look horrible.

another neat paint trick is bowling ball paint. I actually got to meet the guy that started the whole bowling ball thing and know how he does it.

You lay down a base coat of the dark color, then after it's dry, fire on a layer of California Colors "Marbleizer", then immediately hit it with the light color of paint. now take a bunch of plastic wrap rolled up on a pool toy (foam rod) and make sure it's wrinkly. rub this all over the area to be "bowling balled" and then let it dry TWICE the normal drying time. He usually let the car sit in the booth for a FULL day after this step...then hit it with at least six coats of clear to give it some depth. You can go as many as 10-12 coats of clear, if you put them on light enough.
