How to Airbrush RC Bodies

[@juancantu930]

Learned the most from your video!! I’m ready to throw down some ideas rolling in my head.

[@Artax2040]

I love the spider effect ! Great job !

[@211Rastaman]

What a great first setup

[@lancephelps4871]

I don't really know to say other than welcome back good to see you again.

[@MikesAirbrush]

welcome back?

[@GabeM_13]

Great vid bro! I want to get into airbrushing my bodies, great tutorial! I could ask a ton of newbie questions lol

[@DanJR0422]

Man that really helped me with doing mine i also got lucky and used that same clear coat from rust oleum thanks that help with how to cut the pinstripes man i was doing it wrong

[@MikesAirbrush]

im glad that helped out. Thanks for watching man.

[@michaelchoate2810]

The auto air series works on these too the candies are perfect for artwork

[@MikesAirbrush]

The auto air series is discontinued. The candies work well.

[@driftcraze2138]

To everyone that's probably going to use the clear from Rust-Oleum, it works very well, if and only if you use RC lexan PS before you use the Rust-Oleum paint. The way you are see the clear used here in the video will work here it has something to bond with. Great video keep up the good work 👍🏻🔥😎🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@RBAERO]

The clear from Rust-Oleum is for the final coat? And what means rc lexan "PS"? Thank's

[@meademorgan6614]

What??

[@EdderAguilera-ve2fk]

Hi, have you sanded a bit before painting and using cratex paints? How it looks?

[@sterlensmith6558]

That was so cool. I am going to give it a try!

[@RazorRU1989]

I use the same also I use Krylon lawn chair plastic white for back dries hard won't scratch easily.

[@MikesAirbrush]

nice will try that sometime

[@radiocontrolledmadness8119]

What do you use? Im having a hard time with my proline paint, I even back it with tamiya but seems to be able to be picked through and scratched off easy

[@RazorRU1989]

@@radiocontrolledmadness8119 try the Krylon. I wish I could show u a pick. It's bonds to Plaztic and flexible I use it with drag bash touring cars I paint my friends and they live it plus it makes your color pop or Black if your doing a car with dark colors.👍🏽👍🏽

[@davidleslie1620]

what kind of tape (brand & part number) do you use?

[@Jarhead1313]

I've been airbrushing my bodies for about 2 years now, and do great with all kinds of paint even candies as long as it's Spazstix,but when it comes to Flourescents I've never had the best of luck , what is the best way to airbrush Flourescents? I've got a Pro-Line Jeep Rubicon body for my Summit and it's a discontinued body so I dont wanna screw it up,and since all of my paints are Faskolor, Pro-Line, Wicked,and Spazstix I'll either be using Faskolor Flourescent Yellow Or the Pro-Line Flourescent Yellow. Any advice will be much appreciated.

[@jasonbrawley3925]

Damn that's some good work!

[@k1ortia]

Any recommendations for a beginner friendly airbrush kit? cheers

[@lucbrodeur9193]

Hi. Thanks for the vid. Him new in airbrush and want to make crawler lexan body. Need all the help you can give me. With that paint what was your air pressure?

[@allensampier5651]

looks to me like u will put a sweet coating of paint on anything that stays still long enuf

[@ar-arnitro]

Dude great video. Thank you! Just subscribed

[@MikesAirbrush]

Welcome!

[@johnband3]

Just found your channel, like hit the bell and subbed.

[@MikesAirbrush]

Awesome thank you!

[@mikeiz6944]

man you make that look so easy! Looks great!! what brand paint you recommend? Thanks

[@bransonbasher6534]

Airbrush meets Escher; I see what you did there.

[@gaberealrc7355]

the spiderweb touch is dope! looks good boss!

[@MikesAirbrush]

Appreciate it!

[@justice13ful]

dope bruh

[@AiRen.]

good work...some liquid mask will make everything a lot easier;)))

[@MikesAirbrush]

seems harder to work with for me. Thats why I use tape.

[@ruftime]

Thank you! Tape and surgical gloves don’t mix.....I’ve tried unsuccessfully for decades😎

[@mcjjordan]

Why 2 different airbrushes? Top feed & botton feed?

[@MikesAirbrush]

I use airbrushes of all kinds and brands. Probably what I had handy. Side not you can use whatever airbrush you want to apply the colors it really wont matter much.

[@neallewis1]

Use Liquid Mask! you lay dark colours first, then move lighter.

[@MikesAirbrush]

you dont have to use liquid mask. and you also dont have to do dark colors first.... Tape is alot easier to work with and laying brighter colors first opens up the doors for effects.

[@neallewis1]

@@MikesAirbrush you don't have to do anything... but results are way better with LM. try it.

[@MikesAirbrush]

@@neallewis1 "better" according to who? There is no way that a different type of masking would make the design "better" Its your personal preference what you use. Here I use tape as its an instructional video. Tape is easier to work with, easy to get, and wouldnt you know masking tape works great for masking. 🤷‍♂️ You can do it your way and you can post your own video about it and we can see the "better" results. Liquid mask also has its limits and is alot harder to work with by far than masking tape. So coming and just saying "Use Liquid Mask!" doesnt help anyone and does not produce "better" results. Most of the top RC painters I see use masking tape cut on a plotter and rarely use liquid mask. "better" 🤦‍♂️

[@neallewis1]

@@MikesAirbrush alright princess.

[@MikesAirbrush]

@@neallewis1 I am clearly "better" LMAO no insults needed....

[@stephenward8550]

Maybe leave the window mask in until you do the clear so they stay clear.

[@MikesAirbrush]

they do stay clear. I clear over them to seal all the edges of the paint inside for when guys wipe and spray them off during cleaning.

[@beanie4497]

Use a nitro blocker instead of the clear coat, the clear is not made for lexan, and after time and crashes will start to flake off. Nice paint job though.

[@meademorgan6614]

Thanks Mike, I have been looking for video’s of people using Creatix paint on RC car bodies. The hobby shops have been telling me Creatix and Wicked paint won’t work. But Pro Line has come out with their own water based paints for painting RC car bodies. So if their water based paints work, why wouldn’t Creatix and Wicked work just as well. ✌🏼

[@k20alex67]

They all work fine.

[@robmartin5414]

So that's it for prep work little soap and water maybe some intercoat 4030 no scuffing with a red scratch pad Interesting

[@dwaynewilliams3077]

A quick spray with brake cleaner works better and faster.

[@blindj]

Great video thanks for the tips two small things though number one that music I had to fast forward past it it's terrible it repeats after like 15 seconds and the beat of it reminds me of a Nintendo game or something. Number two you're saying opaque wrong It's not "O-pack" think of it like "O-cake" but with a "p" O-pake, except it's spelled opaque with an uppercase A sound. Thanks for sharing

[@slottygw2wvw842]

crystal clear makes your window fog.

[@dirtrider88]

7:22 why the hell did you cut and peel the rear mask? you are justu making more work for your self

[@MikesAirbrush]

the mask creates the design... cant have a design without the work. um duh?
