Not bad! I can tell You your airbrush is not properly set up. It could be to high or too little preasure or the paint wasn’t properly mixed. Go to Youtube and look up the “Airbrush Tricks” user. I watched all of his videos and You learn A LOT!

Thanks!the fh2 was actually an accident, i did something wrong when thinning the red, but the end product ended up looking cool.its still curing, so i don’t know if the clear coat will hold yet.and btw ive already subbed to him 😛
