Nifty Flocoating

Anyone know a good method of flocoating the floor of your boat in 2 or 3 colours,?
One way which i have tried is spinning a stick in yr hands and letting it flick everywhere!! fkkin mess!

This is the finish i got today using a gravity gun..........comments?

Yeh..........but you got to admit the Brit Racing Green Bernico is nice, just needs that 3rd colour.

I wish I had taken some pics of that Cyclone 21 (2.5efi) it had 3 colour splatter effect which was really something superb + it was anti slip!

Many years ago my brother had a mountain bike with a splatter effect paint job. When touching up bits that he scratched/scuffed he used to dip an old tooth brush in the relevant colour paint and then run his thumb through the brisols from one end of the brush to the other, so that the paint flicked off and onto the bike. Maybe you could try something like this but using an cheapo dustpan type brush and yer hand. Don't forget to wear yer rubber gloves!!!

Gun is the way to go, dont thin the gel too much just play with the air preasure up with the feed and down with the spread to get it all blobby, it takes practice to get it right. more thinning and less presure Wet on wet if you want it to flatten, onto gelled if you don't.
