This is what you’re gonna need.
Masking film.
X-acto knife.
Masking tape.
Airbrush
Paint.

You will also need a compressor for the airbrush.

Start by diluting the pain with about 50% water.
This is to make the paint flow better trough the airbrush.

On the left side of the cabinet I first traced the flames and the lettering then cutting it all out using an X-acto blade and then adding the mask.

On the right side I was feeling a little more balsy and to save time I placed the masking film on the the cab and traced everything with the X-acto knife directly.
I was careful not to push to hard when cutting to make sure I didn’t cut into the side art itself.

Here I'm removing the part of the masking film where the paint should go.

I added some more masking to prevent staining from overspray.

I gave it a coat of yellow paint and let it dry.
Then I airbrushed red from the top and faded it out towards the middle.
I used water based paint so I could "erase" any errors I made.

I would say I took my about 6 hours aribrushing the left side, I took me about half the time doing the right side because I skipped the steps where I first traced everything, then cut it out.

I would recommend cutting your mask directly on the side art if you got a steady hand, it will save you allot of time.

As you can see the result is not perfect but it's looking way better then before.
All I need to do now is to ad some clear coat to "seal" it all in.

Thank you!

Thanks.
It will cost you some money maybe around $150 if you don't own an airbrush and a compressor already.
On the flipside you'll own these tools after you purchased them unlike if you would buy decals.

I'll be using just regular hobbyspray clear from a rattlecan.

Nope, no sanding, the paint sticks to the decal just fine.

Here's the front.

I actually like the backbox result better than the original, the original is a little to red I think.

Thanks guys!

Thanks!

Thank you! Not really, I just went for a regular red and a regular yellow.
All colors get slightly washed out because you have to thin them with water.

It's screen printed I belive.

Yeah, nothing like keeping it OG!

Good job.
