It depends on your theme. Given the look of the skulls I would say it is about right. Outside in the sunlight it will appear lighter also. Is is for a motorycle? If so, it is probably appropriate the way it looks now. Good looking skulls with that attitude should be a little on the darker side.

Thanks Roaddawg, you have good point them beeing lighter in a sunlight!
And yes it´s my Kawasaki´s front plastics i´m working now http://www.airbrush.com/forums/tm.aspx?m=236540&mpage=1&key=&#236540 Here is pic of my starting point, and tank and rear plastics are still waiting to get color on a basecoat.
Like i sead i wanted them to be a bit dark, but i´m allways second guessing my work while doing it.

I can´t wait either

Wish our driving season would be longer! We got about 20cm snow for about two weeks, but now it´s gone, could allmost ride with a bike in there, still ice in some places though.
But if i get really bad fever to go drive a bike, i can take my girlfriends Gpx500R (with 600 engine) and drive around our parking hall

Just remember the darker you go the DARKER it looks. By DARKER I meen EVIL. As long as you can make out what it is in the pic in this case you will be fine.

Thanks Mike!
I didn´t think of it like that. Dark is the way to go with this one. I´m wanting it to be evil looking pile of skulls on there!
