I use the same way of masking to do the cooper strip. I spray the cooper colour and just spray a very thin coat of iridescent transparent over it to increase the reflectivity.
To render the eagle I’ve built a composition on the com- puter and printed three pieces to use for stencils. First I cut an outline of the full design, securing it on the fender with many small magnets I spray a very thin coat of white to outline the design. I remove the stencil and fill up the inside part with white. Using this technique I get a smooth transition between my design and the background colour. I start with the eagle head in what will be the back- ground, I use a print out and cut the black parts to outline the main lines: I spray a very thin black to mark eye and beak hole. By free hand I slowly build the feath- ers with very light black. I cut a beak stencil and with a thin brown I outline the beak. I come back on the beak with orange and yellow until I get the right colour. As
the eagle head is in the background, I let the design stay quite blurred to increase the design depth. Using the same technique I spray the eagle in front, you’ll notice that the lines are sharper. To accomplish this I just held the stencil closer to the surface. With very thin black I build the feathers using many small strokes to avoid a plain black colour, I try to follow the eagle body movement during all this process. With thin brown I continue to give colour to my front eagle. Last stage is to paint the billiard 8 ball in black, with stencils and white I give shape and reflec- tivity to the ball. To include all the design in the back ground I spray a coat of my transparent yellow back- ground colour except on the back eagle. I also sign my name into the design at this point, very important step.
I now mask the stripe to do the flame design for which I will use some flame stencils cut from cardboard, spraying first the orange candy flames followed by the white flames.
