Painting of wooden deck |

Painting the boards of wooden deck one by one
I masked and airbrushed the boards of wooden deck one by one to replicate
depth of flooring color. I made about 10 colors for this work. They are
slightly different in a color each other. Base color is tan. I made those
colors mixing brown, wood brown, white, yellow, sand yellow or red etc.
in it. I airbrushed the deck with the basis color at first, then airbrushed
other colors next. The arrangement and order of color is random. A difference
of each color is modest. It is a knack of this painting technique.

Enlargement image of wooden deck is this |
The color of the surrounding iron frame was airbrushed. In this way painting
a wooden deck finished. After this, The deck mark was painted, and clear
color spray flat type(Mr. super clear from GSI Creos Co.) was sprayed due
to the adjustment of mat feeling.
Mold of deck mark guide line was shaved in this work. I recommend that
you point guide line by poking with needle before work. |

Postscript
I used about 10 color with the job in this time. But even if that is 4
color or 5 color, you will finish beautiful work. I feel quite safe if
you have technique of airbrush a little and perseverance. |
