Wow that air brushing is great. When I get to 1k subs and can build my rc work shop in the spare room I am going to invest in one. Made a deal with my self, when 1k subs comes I can turn the room into a dedicated studio for my rc videos and such. Your work is amazing. Hope you grow. You do amazing videos. Top notch stuff.

[@TandemCTelevision]

Thanks RC Propaganda, email me photos of your studio when you get it ready, I'd love to check it out!

[@RCPropaganda]

@@TandemCTelevision should be awhile longer by my calculations. Would love to share it though. I am excited for sure. Have some great ideas. Should help video quality too. 🍻🍻

[@kingstonrc329]

Great job man!!! I’m going to use some of these techniques coming up real soon thanks. 😉👍🏻

[@TandemCTelevision]

Make sure and share the results with me, love to see how it turns out!

[@Smile-N-Bear]

Dude! Your like the magician that gives away all the secrets! I'm sure there are some paint channels that aren't happy.

[@TandemCTelevision]

Weathering should be for the people! lol

[@Smile-N-Bear]

How do you keep the hairspray from letting the paint come off if it gets scratched an wet bro!

[@TandemCTelevision]

Sealed with either matte or gloss clear coats. Also it takes some work and a good bit of soak time to get the paint to chip prior to sealing.

[@hcwfigurematches]

Looks real

[@TandemCTelevision]

Thanks, very easy and fun to do also.

[@rctrailcats3492]

Good tips. Gonna need some ideas.

[@TandemCTelevision]

Nothing more fun than weathering!

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

You must have been a Model Railroader at some point... I learned these techniques about 25 years ago. Still awesome and effective! It didn't occur to me to use these methods on my Rig too!! 😊 The great thing about weathering is, the more layers, even messed up ones, just makes it look better!! Thanks! This helped me. 👍 Carmine ✈🚂🚙

[@TandemCTelevision]

43 years of model making and a lot of messed up paint jobs has been my education. lol

[@CarminesRCTipsandTricks]

I was pretty much the same... Starting with plastic Model Kits about 1973 (done BADLY). Then many years of reading articles, watching TV shows then Videos, and practice, practice, practice!! 😋 By now I'm almost good!! 😆 lol

[@akumastyle4959]

Will this work with tamiya cans? Looks great 👍

[@TandemCTelevision]

It should just keep the coats light.

[@antonionieves4815]

Hello… can i use tamiya paints for regular lexan oil base for r/c bodies?

[@twizzler1136]

So this is basically custom painting?

[@jamesswift4641]

Love the video,very informative💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀

[@TandemCTelevision]

Thanks James!

[@TommyMartinMSRRC]

I use the salt be for but not with the clear look good

[@TandemCTelevision]

I think the salt technique works well for a weathered looking clear coat. I like to use the control of the hairspray technique for body colors.

[@TommyMartinMSRRC]

@@TandemCTelevision Yep i have used the salt with paint. but never with clear coat or the the hairspray before. I'm planning doing a painting video on my SCX24 body and you just give me a idea on a paint scheme for it. Thanks for the tip and keep up the great work bud. You have to check them out.
