That is really damn cool. After this and pyromanics' swarf I've decided that paint splatter is the bomb.

I'm looking at getting a rigid fork for the bike I posted above, since the current fork f*cked up on me the other day(figures after painting it, eh?) I think I'm gonna use the same colour, but do half of it solid and the other half with a 1/2'' checker pattern.

Seeing that swarf is why I did this paint job...

what technique do you use for the really thin splatters? all mine are super thick.

What I did was just dipped a brush in some paint..
What I found is that if I thinned it, it would run easily
If I flicked the paint without taking off some excess paint I would get some fat splatts..
Also I found that a 1in brush worked best for me..
Think I might also be all in the wrist too.. Lol
