Work Steps:
1
Design
Create the zebra pattern design. Mark the lines on the tank with masking tape.
2
Masking
Cover all areas that should not be painted. Precise masking is essential!
3
Airbrushing
The zebra pattern is applied using an airbrush and stencils. Each line is sprayed by hand—precision work!
4
Details
Fine details and transitions are hand-painted. Allow each layer to dry before the next.
The Artwork
Now it gets artistic! The tank receives its unique zebra pattern. This requires a steady hand, patience, and experience with airbrush technique.
Pro Tip
Practice the pattern on cardboard first. Each zebra stripe should be slightly different—that’s what makes it look natural.
