Has anyone here painted a buggy in the main base color then the body is hung vetically so the rear end is down, a different color is then poured over the leading edges of the body causing runs.
I saw one in Hot VW's a long time ago, I think it had a white base with purple paint running towards the rear. I am looking for any pics to show a friend that wants a different paint job.

Great! Just great!
We try our damnest to NOT get runs and now people want them duplicated in a paint job!

Just kidding, it would be cool to see something like that.
I would be thinking it was maybe done with some creative masking, as real runs can be pretty messy (at least the ones I sometimes get).
