Can Patina Paint be this easy? - Rusty RC Body

[@moosejawrc]

PSA: No cans of orange paint were used or harmed in the making of this video! Looks Great!

[@alanq64]

Those crocs though... 😄

[@scalebuildersguild]

I think you did a fine job! And I'm glad to see that you finally painted something on your own. I'll send back the Fijon now.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m quite happy with where the Fijon is right now 🇺🇸

[@THERCDOCTOR]

Ha

[@hemistormrc]

Hell has frozen over! 🤣🙌🏼

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m more confused than anyone

[@TravisLaRoche]

HAHAHA Bobby Ross is back baby

[@44punisherable]

Not too shabby, Looks pretty good!! If there was ever a Dodge nebulae in space, this would be it!

[@paulmaigler289]

And now we can call you Josh Ross, or would It be Bob Thiede….. I’ll let you decide 🤣🤣 Just you attempting the process impressed me and it came out really well double win!!!!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I think we just shorten it to Job.

[@forrestcrabbe]

Look at you learning a new skill. The truck looks awesome, y'all have a badass day 🤘🍻🤘

[@evintacy7272]

Josh you did a great job especially for how bad you talk about your paint jobs,,, it looks awesome 🤩

[@jetwaves78]

Well done Josh looks great

[@justinmoate3143]

For not being a painter it turned out awesome looks sweet cant wait to try this

[@jamesbowles4369]

Josh, I always knew you could paint like picasso. Great job and even better video.

[@thman6453]

Dosen't look bad at all nice job Josh

[@fernsolo]

I can't believe I'm saying this to you but, great paint job 👍

[@bigdawgsrcpitstop]

Looks good. Thank you for the idea.

[@Seabass-el2jy]

Nice Josh, for "Not being a painter" you did a great job. Matt will be proud.

[@mickd8188]

Awesome thumbnail, really liked the finished product. Moosejaw inspired me to give it a go aswell. Cool content 👌 Cheers mate 👍

[@knutroald5332]

And we’ll just put happy little rustspot over here😄

[@johngookinsable]

Looks awesome! Matt will be so proud of you!🤣

[@Pluckee13]

Wow. Nice job. You made it look easy.

[@quintonkarlik2148]

Looks good, a rusty sun visor would look good on it

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I beat on this truck too hard for that! 😁

[@outcastrc8052]

Wow! I'm humbled in your presence Josh! Who knew that you had these secret talents that have now been revealed!! Well done on the paint scheme!!

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I think I’ll retire now.

[@tlheingrunst]

Mighty fine, for an engineer! You did a great job my friend. You stepped out of your comfort zone. Can't wait for the next one.

[@c05sporty]

The Bob Ross thumbnail tho 😂😭 I think it looks killer!

[@hllywd_8315]

Wow very impressive! Looks great good job!!!

[@markwhite8543]

Pretty impressive! A huge step up from a chip brush and can of Orange

[@Brian_Mowry__BMOW71]

Very impressive! That IS the best paint job to ever roll out of the Harley Paint Shop!! Let me know when you're gonna start doing this full time! I have a body ready to send to you! All kidding aside, it looks great Josh!!

[@rustysglass]

For not being a "painter" I think you did an amazing job!!!

[@saltpond5381]

Well done. You look pretty happy with the results.

[@rossgross7497]

Looks good

[@travm3113]

Looks great mate, well done 👍

[@stevelangley246]

I'm proud of you Josh. I dislike painting more than anything else about this hobby except paying someone else to do it. I discovered patina paint jobs about a year ago and found that I can't screw one up. So I took all of my messed up bodies and did patina on the outside. Success!

[@vintagerc9173]

Looks great! Practice makes perfect let’s See more paint projects Maybe an Element RC Etco body next. 👍 Moosejaw is a great Teacher! A+ + +

[@JThelen1031]

Josh: "Not a painter... Looks reasonable..." Also Josh: Crushes out a paint job that looks pretty amazing.

[@davidhazelden2054]

That looks grate for ur first 1 now for more fancy paint jobs lol n I love ur Friday notes it far better with Nicole on ur so funny keep it up m8 👍👍👍👍👍

[@adamtebben9512]

Dude this turned out great! I’m impressed.

[@matthewdezekiel]

Shit man that turned out good!! I knew Matt would chime in!

[@Plumbdogmillionaireflow]

Awesome work Josh!!

[@ninotocka]

Neat. I might just take some time and effort on my next body! Well done!

[@rcboys619]

came out amazing bro

[@Basshertz13]

I am really glad to see that you can now start your own patina channel if moosejaw needs your help I actually think it looks great man way to go Josh

[@vipxj1]

Looks great.

[@brentpollock4137]

Works for me. ✌

[@chrisquigley2580]

Looks good 👍

[@ConsciousnessAndScience]

you did a damn good job brother

[@5tbadger]

Friggin awesome dude, excellent vid 🤙🤙

[@bigjeep_littlejeep3777]

Very nice! I just did my first weathering on a pw cab also. One thing to check out of you do it again is mechanical pencil on all the body lines adds a noce touch

[@CoachD386]

Very impressive their sir 👍🏾💯it’s the orange crocs for me lol

[@DrDiff952]

Dang Harley messing around with that giant scale stuff. Love my SCX24 Bronco!

[@brandoc.5821]

Great job. I love it

[@jdsrcs8061]

Dang Harley!!!! That came out great. I might even consider trying this as well. 🤘🤘🤘

[@evintacy7272]

This is going be good! He has put out some amazing paint jobs!! You can do this Josh!

[@Scale-Crawler-tamiya-Xray-RC]

very nice job , love it

[@conradsearle9774]

Very nice and now you can paint more and looks pretty good

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

No more painting! This was one and done!

[@stevemoon2136]

Extra credit for the thumbnail.

[@crawlerballer]

wow looks great man!

[@MetalHeadRCGarage]

Wow, impressively done. Great color choices and the finished body looks killer!

[@JPGrc]

Looks very cool 👍 And seems to be simple 😉 but I think it is not Cheers from Poland 🇵🇱

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It was easier than I imagined.

[@timvoght4866]

I would say your a painter now! LOOKS AWESOME

[@thegoat78]

Not too pretty bad.. Good job 👌

[@twisterzman]

You've impressed me yet again! That looks great, Josh! For not painting, you jumped into the deep end trying to pull off a patina job.. and you did very good!

[@Random4RC]

After watching Moosejaw's video I gave the salt trick a try. I bought both sea salt and kosher salt to test with and liked the results with kosher much better. Made the rust spots look flakier

[@hedgemeist]

Great job

[@rcdrives3882]

That looks awesome, Josh! Good job, man! :)

[@andrewschultz8982]

You can also use an acrylic clear (Rust-Oleum) to cause the paint to "lift" and flake slightly. Gentle wet sanding will make it look like scale paint peel

[@AddamsPlayground]

It looks really cool! Matt better give you some compliments on this effort! I saw zero foam used and the only thing close to orange was the rust! Great job and thanks for recording all that, I know that slowed the whole process down!

[@-Gerald-]

If JConcepts bodies came pre-painted... MooseJaw is a great teacher, but he can't teach them all. Just kidding, It looks great. I especially like the exhaust soot. Nice touch.

[@SlooDon]

OK Josh……color me impressed! Nice job!

[@joeyfloyd6534]

Nice job Josh!

[@neilhipkinsnhrc7178]

That’s a bostin’ job… really well done.. will check Moose Jaws vid 🤩

[@westdesertwheeler]

Certainly looks good enough to go beat on the rocks! (That’s a compliment) as I mentioned before none of my paint jobs are perfect and it’s just proof that I did it! Cool video Josh.

[@66blitzer]

You might not fancy yourself a painter….. but damn you’re a fancy painter!

[@66blitzer]

I mean .…French Blue, Oooh la la

[@aegixxer1]

Turned out great! Those Tamiya weathering kits are awesome. You're better off ditching the applicator they come with and pick up a makeup sponge variety pack.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ll just go steal Nicole’s!

[@wesmadebuilds681]

You did great on this. If you didn’t know already, hear up the spray cans in hot water to up the pressure and make it dry quicker. Plus the paint will go on much smoother.

[@mickd8188]

Yeah like Wes said,... NOT sitting in front of the heat gun on the bench while you find your tack rag. Ask me how I know. It didn't explode but did pop the seams a bit...lol

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I did see that in Joes video as well, but I was in a hurry 😁

[@alanq64]

I think it looks pretty good. Do an acrylic black wash over the body and it'll bring out more details. 👍👍

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’m sure there are a million more techniques but I’m already probably not doing another 😁

[@alanq64]

@@HarleyDesignsInc Wish I was that self aware. haha

[@MandaPii_]

Looks great!

[@adamrodgers2377]

I think it looks good and it has motivated me to paint my next Trail Truck Body similar to yours.

[@Evan_Moore61]

If Josh can make a patina body look good, then anybody can. I guess I have no excuse not to do it now.

[@fdougwillman132]

I apologize for thinking your IG post about this was a joke. You’re on the right path with Moosejaw.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

It was absolutely meant to be taken as a joke! This is definitely not a tutorial.

[@crawlersncustoms]

I dig it! Nice work. I’m not a painter either and patina scares me but if you’re willing to give it a go it gives me hope. I’ve got the CCW carbon PW, might need to dress it down with some rust. Rusty carbon.

[@larrybarnhart7532]

That came out great!!! I got to jump in and try to paint something.

[@RIdeWerksInc]

Wow.. it looks really good. I like it.

[@vincehatina6987]

That came out AWESOME!!!

[@brucekutujian7612]

BRAVO!!!

[@adamhirerc78]

Looks great josh ,nice job

[@scottoblander9419]

This is great content Josh. I’ve wanted to try the salt method, I even watched Joe’s tutorial, but was always hesitant as I’m more mechanically/electronically inclined. I’m encouraged to try now. I have an origin body I’m going to use.

[@fredsmith-dengler9225]

Nice job, looks great! “LOOK MA, NO CHIP BRUSH!”

[@bkrubiosoto]

Te quedó hermoso! Simplemente un buen trabajo 👏👏👏 felicitaciones!!!

[@davidtodd3435]

That turned out really nice!

[@jerryvolpini7987]

Pretty damn good and it was all you! 👍 A lot of these techniques come from the scale model world. I have also used liquid mask, applied with a sponge, and it gives a little bit more control on where you apply the chipping/rusting effects. I also use a technique with hairspray(!) that gives amazing results.

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

Yeah an unlimited number of techniques to learn… but I doubt I’ll do any more! 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jimbocreationsbu8203]

that is a nice paint job -

[@nolifelikelowlife]

Damn! That looks really good man!.....definitely gonna try this👍

[@cookeemon67]

Everything looked good and I think you did great! The only part that made me cringe was that you didn't put anything down on your deck mate.. at least some cardboard! Lol. Also could you throw a link up to that turbo also? :)

[@HarleyDesignsInc]

I’ll have to find the parts tree. It came on the Axial SCX2 kit.

[@ProudMomOfRCRacers]

That looks absolutely amazing!!!

[@brentrobinson3274]

Where Matt to chime in on Josh painting a body not orange at lol, looks good

[@674tonythompson]

I thank its bad ass you did a real good job.I am going to be trying one soon thanks for the video.

[@DanP100]

Very cool! Thanks for the video, man!

[@antipodeanadventures6409]

Well done Josh. It looks really good. Guess you have to pitch the chip brushes now.

[@danwoodruff4323]

Very nice great job 🎉

[@greggmundkowsky5798]

The only thing I noticed was your coverage was a little off, I could still see wood on the work bench, but the body looks great

[@pocher69]

This looks great!!!! Ill have to try this now!!!!
