Ripped tape and paint fade

[rag6]

I suck at painting. doesn't mean my ride has to look like i suck lol. Ive found a very easy way to do sweet paint jobs despite my horrible skills, using only ripped masking tape, the bodies included window masks, and at least 3 cans of paint:

I started by using the window masks. I then used 1" masking tape ripping it down the middle. I left the black areas unmasked to be painted first. Then i removed all masking cept for the windows. Next i started with white in the front and did 3 light coats, spraying a little further back towards windshield on second and 3rd coat. Then did yellow the same way, then red at the back. I know im painting light colors first in the fade, but the fade comes out dull and boring if i do the dark colors first in the fade. And thats it. Easiest paint ive ever done...

If anyone tries this please post up any results!

Thanks for looking hhop this helps somebody 8)
