[BottledBeast]

well on my day off today i went to als picked up a lst racer body and some paint...and this is what i got...im still not done but almost..

[kevinF]

it looks pretty good though

not bad bro, fade the blue first next time, dark to light and u wont get that discoloration...good for a first try really

[BottledBeast]

i did fade the blue first....it looks alot better in person

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

what kinda blue is it, whats the name, it looks like u went on a little heavy in some spots but ull get it

[Traxxas_Junkee]

Looks good. I know it is better than what mine would look like if I tried to airbrush something...

[BottledBeast]

i used testors candy blue and testors rally green...yea the blue i noticed i didnt do so good on but after i put it on i relized the blue was trans-parent so i put testors sprint white behind it do ritchen the color..also the airbrush was having some small nozel problems during the blue..

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

use the faskolor water base stuff ur life will be much easier

[BottledBeast]

i was looking into that but the testors just was thier...lol...with that waterbase stuff do u have to add anything to it or its ready to use?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

nope it is ready to use, a drop or two of water goes along way to thin the paint if u really have to, I have not had to at all thus far...with waterbase u have to back it to make it fuel proof, this is the only downside, but a can of sprint white from pactra or a can of rustoleum crystal clear enamel will make everything fuel proof

[BottledBeast]

now do i need to back this paint that i used? to make it fuel proof?

[Czech-it-Out Graphics]

no u shouldnt have to, it is not water based, just try scratching off a small section like in a wheel well to see how easily it comes off, but it never hurts to back them

looks good nice work

[joey]

great job man, i really like the colors!

[BottledBeast]

yea i stopped at als and got some cover coat stuff that is saposed to make it fuel proof...

[BottledBeast]

thanks everyone the next body should be better...

[dirtguy90]

that looks really good, i just think the blue faded a little too quickly

but that 'll look great on your rig! nice work for ur first attempt
