Really appreciated this video!! About to start painting a bunch of bodies... Needed some pointers and tips, and this wrapped that up in a bow. Thanks a million! 11 bodies to paint seems less daunting now!! Excited to lay down my own colors, I got some high end glow in the dark/UV reactives I need to use, going to put in some blacklight L.E.D.'s to make my radiation paints POP!!! Very stoked now, enjoy rippin up that supra!!

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Amazing! 👊 I'm happy to hear my video helped you out! Thanks for the nice comment! Woww 11 body's that's a lot of work! You will be a pro by the end of those! Ahah enjoy painting✌️

[@GabeLSC]

The best way I've used to remove overspray before applying the next color is using q-tips and Nitro fuel. Clean with alcohol after the nitro

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Ouu interesting! I'll maybe give that a try next time if I have that issue again!

[@GabeLSC]

@IRONSIDE_RC yeah bro, works great! Que tips, and Hobby Lobby sells cue tips with very fine cone shaped tips for tight spots. Popsicle sticks work good in spots as well.

Thank you for this video, this will help a lot. Very nice work. What kind of tint do you use and where do you get it? That looks so much better than black paint on the under body or decals on the outside.

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Thank you!! I appreciate it👊 glad you found it helpful! The tint is made by xpel. It's a dyed ppf film. Might to hard to find I got it when I use to work in a shop!

Thanks Seven!!!! 👊😄✌️🙏

[@gordonsoo]

I was thinking can I use normal aerosol spray? and do you sand the inside before painting?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

I don't recommend doing that! Normal paint won't flex and it will Crack and chip after time! No don't sand it will scratch up the surface

[@MrSkullface]

Do not use anything but polycarbonate paint!

[@alejandrohernandez-bb7ct]

[@MWright0825]

Another awesome tutorial from IRONSIDE!!! Thanks for the tips mate! My favorite tip which I never thought of, was using the dry erase marker on the outside of the body! Seems to work so good. I always just use a regular sharpie since the outer protective film protects the actual body but I like the idea of being able to erase mistakes in the lines or if deciding to change it up! I look forward to your next video bro! :D

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Ayee!! Thanks 👊 appreciate the kind words! Yeah dry erase works so nice. I changed up my design a ton of times so if I couldn't erase would've been so confusing LOL.

[@autofctrl]

I really like the idea of free-styling with a whiteboard-marker to get an idea of the final design. The explanation was great - the paint-job not so much, but you repaired it well XD

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Thanks!! 😊👊 appreciate the feedback! They don't always come out perfect I though my masking was solid must of missed a tiny spot! Most people wouldn't post this but mistakes happen thought I'd turn it into a lesson on how to fix it also 😁

I’ve never seen windows tinted that way, very good. I use PS31 smoke

[@Guitarist_in_progress]

Been looking to paint a new bodyshell, any chance you know how to do a fade/gradient colour just with using spray paint? I want the 2 colours to overlap each other. Any tips? Because im clueless

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! Sorry I have never attempted that yet! Good luck ✌️

[@samclingan1084]

I used car paint, and regular (plastic-friendly) spray paint for the final layer. Problem is it chips and flakes off for anything. What did I do wrong? Could it be just because I didn't wash the shell before painting? Do I have to use model paint?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Oh no! Yes washing body to remove oils is needed. Also the correct paint is most important. You need a polycarbonate paint for the lexan body's because they flex so much

[@Npossibly]

One question brotha, how do you cut the wheel so clean? I've always struggled on cutting the wheel clean.

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Scoring the lexan with an exacto blade on the body lines is the best way to get clean cuts you can see in this video. Also check out my how to cut and install clear windows video I demonstrate this method in that video also! Good luck✌️

[@PanditaP]

Today I learned that RC bodies are painted from the inside. My mind is blown.

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Yeah its quite different then painting other things! But it's awesome because it protects the paint so well! Just makes it a little harder to paint

[@condoritofpv9454]

Lexan bodies are painted from the inside. But hardbodies are painted normal.

Very nice job

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Thanks appreciate the feedback 😄👊

Which mesh wheels are these? Looks great!

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! They are MST adjustable offset rims. Unfortunately I don't know the exact name of them. Hope this helps✌️

[@shoopitor3796]

complete beginner here. my tt02 had like, silver plastic headlight housings and is led compatible. do i apply the sticker to that plastic housing or the interior when painting?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! I've never had silver headlight housings before always clear and I've had to paint. If yours are already painted then I would apply stickers on the headlight housing then install in body. Hope this helps

[@bobbygonzalez2153]

Why cut holes?? You can use hidden mounts instead

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! Good question! If it was a drift or lowrider build I wouldn't cut the holes. But for racing for the extra security of holes and clips its worth it for the peace of mind knowing the body can't fly off

[@bobbygonzalez2153]

ahhh i see that makes sense@@IRONSIDE_RC

[@kashkillaz]

Where’d you get those chrome rims

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Honestly not to sure so long ago! But they are MST brand name wheels and they are the adjustable offset style!

[@Filmore1991]

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

[@totallyrandomuser5760]

What was the time between the different layer sprays? An hour or so to slightly dry up or less?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

30mins to 1hr depends on how think you did. I'd do light coats and you can tell when it's dry. Once it is spray again

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Thick*

[@brendanb.8007]

What kind of paint do you use? Is there specific paint necessary? Or can I use typical Rust-Oleum?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! I would recommend the tamiya paint. Has to be PS - polycarbonate approved because the lexan rc body's are very flexible. Normal spray paint like rust- Oleum would Crack and flake off after some hits and movement / flex

[@winnithedevil]

Hello, where can I buy this Sticker Sheet in black for free design?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! Check online, some brand names are vivid vinyl, hexis, 3m, Avery denision!

[@AlwaysThrashing]

Why do you paint on the inside of the body? And can you use regular spray paint?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello, it's painted on inside so it doesent get scratched up. I would not as it won't flex under impacts and use this will lead to cracking paint and chips

[@AlwaysThrashing]

@@IRONSIDE_RC ok thank you for the advice

[@WoodsUnknown]

Are there any Tamiya kits that come with precut decals and parts without clipping them from plastic trees.

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Hello! I'm honestly not to sure about that one! All the ones I have done have been like this one in video!

[@tubbs467]

do you think i can use normal acrylic paints (with brushes) and do my own design?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

You wouldn't want to use normal paint on these lexan bodies, the paint needs to bond well and flex I would only use PS paint for polycarbonate

[@derekmoreno2199]

Where do you get your rims from ?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Bought these so long ago from a local hobby store. They are mst adjustable offset rims

[@dustinrossi9384]

Quick question for the tail lights you leave outside clear? Paint inside silver? And just use red bulb ?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

For taillights and headlights you leave it clear on the body just tape them off on inside or use provided light Masks. You would paint the light buckets black or silver usually you can install stickers or cut to make actual led bulb fit! Those get mounted inside the body. Leaving the body clear makes you see the light buckets on the inside giving it a realistic tailight appearance. Hope this helps

Acrylic paint?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Tamiya PS paint. Polycarbonate. It's good for lexan plastic rc body's because paint flexible so it doesent Crack easy

[@Sr_iRL]

How do I measure the body to fit my chasis, is it by the wheelbase or width?

[@IRONSIDE_RC]

Deffinately wheelbase Is the most important! If your wheels don't line up will have rubbing and steering issues! Width is good also to match up with your rim offset. If you search your chassis online can usually find the wheelbase and width pretty easy or look in you instruction manual
