510er Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Okay so i got a practically free VW hood so i thought it only right to mock up my solar eclipse hood... it needs some slight changes before i do a similar paint to my actuall 620 hood... let me know what you thinks this is kinda what i was looking for while im painting... finished product and no that is not a glare, its some white paint... lights are off Quote Link to comment
Edz280zx Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think it would look better if the red faded to black as it went out from the center. Still looks cool tho!! Quote Link to comment

Shonuff Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 the shadow on the left should be closer to the sun, and not as pronounced. the white effect is dam cool tho the tater tot idea has merit as well. throw some johnnys on em first Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 looks bad ass, thinking i should have gone tater tots though.... Quote Link to comment

I agree its one of the things i was plannin on fixing... I am hoping the resident Ratsun Artist sees this to give me some pointers:lol::lol: Quote Link to comment

LAYEDOUTB2K Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 it looks alright. i think most people would just think what the f**k is on your hood, even more so than when people see rising suns. Quote Link to comment
510er Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 its not for people that dont know what a rising sun hood is thats for sure... and let me tell you that if you are high on paint fumes it looks really bad ass! Quote Link to comment
4cylinders Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 hey, change the black to white,to see the light. Quote Link to comment
fisch Posted January 30, 2009 Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 Kudos for jumping in there 510er!:) I think the main thing you have to watch out for, and the fatal flaw of a lot of rising suns, is that you gotta get those rays perfect. They can't be individual widths cause as they radiate out it tends to get wonky looking. I think to really pull this off you are gonna need some awesome fading skills. With enough practice I am sure you could nail it. But it is something an airbrush artist could knock out in a snap. It will need to be pretty subtle in areas. Attached is my two cents on it. But I'd never tell anyone how they have to paint their truck, so feel free to ignore!:) Quote Link to comment
510er Posted February 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 FISCH!! that looks bad ass! that is exactly what i was going for! ill have to break out my ole airbrush and do it up. The reason the rays were all different is because i rushed it and was just goofing around but ill pick up some extra paint for the airbrush and go nuts it has been a while since i have had my hands on it but should come back quick Quote Link to comment
Skib Posted February 1, 2009 Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 there ya go, thats fuckin sick. shouldnt be to hard either, I broke down the layers in my head and you can do it in 2 layers Quote Link to comment
