@@RacerRC yeah that's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion and comment

The tires/rims combo that I had come in where blacked out street tires and looked extremely clean.

@EyeOfRah will probably look good. I would send pics of my cars but I don't know how. I've been building them since I was a kid and I'm 44 years old got a lot going on unfortunate

@EyeOfRah I've built 20+ cars cause I started when I was 5 years old and I use to actually race them for money so my cars are badass but im fixing them up for kids and grandkids

@@EyeOfRah ooy that was good old days because I won a lot

@@SmannGoTitans yeah I'm definitely sure the chrome look would be amazing. It's just a look at the time I didn't go with. And unfortunately down the line I had to sell this beauty, fell on some hard times. I'm 49 now and would love to pick this back up with my 8-year-old son. Hopefully one day.

What's that ?

LMAO, you taking about the jump move? I don't have my buttons remapped, so right thumb used jump and uses directional movement, therefore can't be used at the same time with my setup. Sooooo nothing is wrong with aim

To be honest I've seen a miss and cause damage while watching other players

Its nice, you get Lego version also. I think only worth if you get the whole bundle package, the 4 turtles

Thank you

That would be dope

The cans I used where good for this project

You're cringe

Yeah, I'm sure that would of produced a much need clean look. Thanks for adding that tip in. Might need even higher grit as you wouldn't want to accidentally scrape too much off. I would love to see how yours comes out

Thanks for your suggestion, I didn't have a film crew, no tripod for my cell phone's camera at the time and it was my first time painting. Next time I suggest you buy me all the supplies and I will do it YOUR way. Another suggestion for you, know when to use "your" ,especially when "YOU'RE" (aka you are) commenting in a rude manner. 100% would also suggest that every comment here didn't believe I did it, never comment show the whole process how you came up with 100%..........

I thought about that also, I wouldn't see why not. My advice is when layering, go from dark to light with colors. I would imagine also if doing blue and yellow by default you would get a green mix in also without using green paint.

@@EyeOfRah i want to use gun metal grey silver and white

@@TW39 that would look really interesting. I would love to see a video if you do it

@@EyeOfRah when I apply first coat should it be less last coat spray all over

@@TW39 if you plan on using the crumbled plastic technique, it shouldn't matter until the last layer which you back it with. I would spray desired area and then use the crumbled plastic do damage it to you get the look you want. Don't wipe , you do more of a dab at it. But final layer no dab

I'm sorry, I don't know what you said

Yeah I was extremely happy with the result

Hi, yes it was just a Walmart bag from shopping there. I layed the black then crumpled the bag in hand and was like sponge dabbing it. I didn't wait long to do it was basically a spray down, put can down, crumple up and hold bag then pick car up and dab at it till I got the look I wanted. I didn't tightly crumple either, was more of a loose crumple

Thanks I appreciate it. What color will you do the stripes? I would recommend making sure a good masking is applied so no bleed through. My belief is start with the darkest colors. If you start with lighter colors the darker colors over the lighter colors have a tendency to bleed through and change the color of the lighter color.

I really like the outcome of yours. Maybe some gun metal on the stripes, doing them like the body. The theme I'm after is "a ghost".

@@rcstumpjumpers2049 that would look really nice. are you using cans or air spray? To get the cleanest lines you may have to mask first and do that color 1st step. Me though I would lay down the masking where the strips are and do last, but the problem with that is you pray for a clean tape pull once you apply the colors you want for the body. So 2 ways to achieve. I'm excited for your style and hope to see it

Thanks. This was fun and easy to accomplish.

Thank you

When painting the body on the inside you do darker colors first to prevent bleed through and darkening of lighter color area if spraying layers.

I do it like this ....but what ever works best for you......✌🏽 1. Optional peal or gold clear and or translucent iridescent paint of your choice. Or clear flakes. 1. Transparent color of your choice. 2. Gold or silver applied with plastic bag 3. Back with Black

It still looks awesome.......but if you do it with the transparent paint. It would look red and dark red instead of red and black. The red and dark red looks deeper.

@@dolobrolic6066 the idea was to have 2 separate colors and get a marble effect. I think doing the silver or gold flake first is too get a flake look as I've seen with flake you don't go so heavy to make a dark color either gold or silver. Both paints was a metallic color so I think that helped make it blend well. If it was a matte black then yeah I would probably do the opposite, as the black would be too dark for metallic flake to blead through, also I think the amount of coats would be no more than 2 passes with it being applied last. It's just my understanding because it's inside the body that you do reverse colors, not same as outside like on paper or doing outside of body. I do know you will accomplish 2 different effects if doing dark color first and ending with lighter color as opposed to light color first to dark. So many options and not enough lexan body's paint and cash to really enjoy trying the many different techniques.

@@EyeOfRah The one I did is more like one color. Well multiple shades of red.……………So you got the effect you wanted. 👍🏽 I know It pops hard in the light. You should do another one.

Yes sorry it wasn't a great video like I would of liked. When you spray the paint/black in the area right after you damage it. I used a plastic retail bag and wore it like a mitten and patted at the wet paint until desired removal aka damage the paint. Thank you for the comment.

If you do a video I would love to see it.

@@EyeOfRah I might actually do that. And I'll definitely give u some credit though, it was the first good one like this I saw 🤘

@@EyeOfRah oh and it's gonna be on a 1/5th scale 8s Kraton body too. So it's gonna be big. I think I'm gonna have to do something to break it up some through like a different hood maybe the fake carbon fiber look or some kind of 2 tone some how maybe stripes idk yet. It's such a large body to paint.

@@Reecefpv thanks that would be cool. I've tried carbon fiber, it was difficult and first try didn't look that good, but I was using the left over and may of not had enough. I really look forward to seeing yours

@@EyeOfRah I'm not using real carbon fiber I'm just painting it. You take those checkered non-slip mats and lay over it then lightly paint a silver and a black backer and it turns out looking just like carbon fiber

Thanks. Yeah it was my first attempt at it, I think paint choices matter. I used metallic colors and I think that is what helped.

It was the team associated pro really 4x4

This was a body that fit it

It was a metallic red, not translucent. I wish I did a better video so you could see the process better. After the red is layed down with one coat you can see how it looked. Both paints metallic

Thank you, it was fun and easy.

Thanks, did he show how it was done? I wish I was able to video the process

@@EyeOfRah yes. It was with a sandwich bag lol.

@@Storyracing387 thanks

@@Storyracing387 from what I know you should do your darker colors first, so that's why I did my black first, damaged the black with the bag and then backed it with the red. If you do reverse it will darken the lighter color
