Instructions

  1. Begin with properly fired cone 04 bisque. Moisten a sponge and wipe bisque to remove any dust.
  2. Using the Soft Fan with IN 1100 White/FN-001 White, apply 2 coats to the entire truck. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  3. Using the Script Liner with CN 151 Light Blue Spruce/SC-96 Aqu-ward, apply 2 coats to the windows. Shade the corners with CN 302 Bright Caribbean/SC-9 Jaded.
  4. Using the Script Liner with CN 074 Really Red/SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply 2 coats to the wheel wells and trim. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  5. Use the pencil to sketch flowers with 5 petals, ivy leaves and single, small leaves in groups of 2 or 3. They do not need to be perfect, just try to evenly space them out. Add berries in the bare spots (groups of 3 dots). If you want to add a logo to the door or hood, leave that area blank. Trace your logo using the pencil and AC-230 Clay Carbon Paper.
  6. Using the Script Liner and Detail Liner with CN 507 Neon Red/SC-73 Candy Apple Red, apply 2 coats to the flowers. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  7. Using the Detail Liner with CN 182 Bright Kiwi/SC-26 Green Thumb, apply 2 coats to the ivy leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  8. Using the Detail Liner with CN-181 Light Kiwi/SC-27 Sour Apple and CN 302 Bright Caribbean/SC-9 Jaded, apply 2 coats to the small, single leaves. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  9. Using the Detail Liner with CN 074 Really Red/SC-74 Hot Tamale, apply a dot of glaze to each of the berries.
  10. Using the Script Liner with CN 151 Light Blue Spruce/SC-96 Aqu-ward, apply 2 coats to the hubcaps.
  11. Using the Script Liner with CN 302 Bright Caribbean/SC-9 Jaded, apply 1 coat to the outer edge of the hubcaps.
  12. Using the Script Liner with CN 151 Light Blue Spruce/SC-96 Aqu-ward, apply 2 coats to the lights. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  13. Using the Script Liner with CN-201 Light Grey/SC-60 Silver Lining, apply 2 coats to the bumpers and grille. Allow glaze to dry between coats.
  14. Using the Detail Liner with CN-202 Bright Grey/SC-35 Gray Hare, apply 1 coat to the crevices on the grille.
  15. Using the Detail Liner with colors of your choice, apply 2 coats to your logo. Outline with CN 253 Black/SC-15 Tuxedo.
  16. Using the Script Liner with CN 253 Black/SC-15 Tuxedo, apply 2 coats to the tires. Allow glaze to dry between coats. Use the Detail Liner to outline the details and design on the truck.
