Put some paint in a small area and then using just the air, push the paint out from the middle. You could get something similar to a sunburst or really any shape you could push out with the air.
Searching the web for an example and just can't find one.

Found 'em.

Now your talkin!!! I look closer at the Camaro I posted and I think someone put a circle up and painted around it. It looked similar, but not like what you have here. Neat, very neat.

Charlie, that's a pretty cool paint trick there, never seen that before...I came across some old Superbird street machines.

Mighty big (and I think good looking) platform for some custom paints.

The Love Machine, I have never seen, looks like a D/G? Falcon/ Fairlane, I would guess BB powered and unsure of the track. Good lookin car though.

That looks like a '68 Fairlane. Pretty much the same as the '69 except the rear marker lights.

Cobweb up close.

Straight lacquer over basecoat(can use acrylic enamel or urethane) play with pressure till you get what you want for a pattern, let it evaporate and clearcoat.



I never shot it this heavy (only did a couple of dirt bikes) but still a good example.

Looks like blood splatter...
