It's hard to give critisizm because I'm not sure what look you were going for. It kinda looks like you might have been going for a marbled look, but maybe not.

If it turned out how you wanted it then I'd have to agree with you...it didn't turn out badly.

I think you did a good job. The more ya do, the better ya get! :)

Thanks, I was going for a little bit like marble a little like splatters. I just didn't want to do a flat two color body, I think it would have been cool to get the marble effect but that just didn't happen...I will have to pratice...

Bean, interesting design idea. I like the design, but a few tweaks would help it stand out a bit more.

For next time using same design:
Along the edges of the green, darken them up a bit. Start by spraying a darker color first along the edge, then fill in the rest using the green you have now. This will create more of a 3D effect.
The yellow on the white doesn't work well for me. I'm sorry, but it just doesn't. To keep with a high vis type paint scheme, next time do a real marble effect using something like an light orange and a yellow.

It's a good paint scheme that's easy to see on the track and looks good. With a few more additions, it'd look really good.

I really like the green and white but don't really care for the yellow.
I like the simple paint jobs that are easier to see when flying along I guess.
How did you make your lines? Lay down masking tape and cut it crooked like?

I kinda like the yellow on white. If done in green on white, it would look like mold. That technique would work great to produce a rusted on gray primer look! Pretty cool.

I definitely like the green and it goes well with the yellow and white. If you don't have a Dremel, when you cut a body out in the future, you can smooth out the cut edges better using something like a vitamin bottle wrapped with sandpaper. It takes a bit more work, but it's worth it to get smooth edges. =)

I forgot to mention that it was rough cut out (not done yet). Also I used liquid mask to get the torn edges..

Thanks for all the help...
