Instructions
Flip a cardboard paper box over so that its bottom is facing up. Set the box on top of a few sheets of open newspaper in a flat, well-ventilated area. Put on rubber gloves and a simple doctor's face mask. Shake the can of paint primer and spray an even coat all over the car. Leave the area and allow the car to dry according to the manufacturer's suggested length of time, which should be printed on the back of the can.
Examine the camouflage pattern included in the resources and, using a pencil, stencil a similar design on your derby car. Number the sections "1," "2," and "3" just as in the design.
Decide what colors you want to use and purchase a can of spray paint in each of those colors. Keep in mind that flat paint reflects reality while glossy paints can be used if you are choosing a nontraditional color theme such as pink-purple-white or red-white-blue; Choose flat paint if you want to make a realistic-looking camouflage car such as a tan-light green-olive green color scheme.
Lay masking tap over the sections that are marked "2" and "3," using a utility knife to make straight, clean lines in the tape. Spray paint the car in a coat of your first color and allow the paint to dry completely. Repeat this procedure two more times or until you have a rich, deep color with no wood showing through.
When the last coat of paint it nearly dry, remove the masking tape and allow the car to dry completely. Lay new masking tape over sections marked "1" and "3." Paint your second color over all sections keeping in mind that only sections labeled "2" should be showing. Spray a layer of paint on the car and allow it to dry. Continue adding layers until no wood shows through. Remove masking tape, as in step 4.
Tape off sections marked "1" and "2" so that only sections labeled "3" are showing. Spray on third and final paint color. Add layers of paint until no wood shows through. When paint is nearly dry, remove masking tape.
Add any decals as desired once the paint is fully dry.
