looks epic!!

[@XXLRC]

Thanks Kev! This is amazing. I’ve been watching your channel for many years and it is an honor to have you watch one of my videos. Cheers!

[@KevinTalbotTV]

@@XXLRC Thanks bro appreciate it!! I'll have to try that paint trick, maybe on my custom sledge build :)

[@XXLRC]

Heck yes! Can’t wait to see it. I was just thinking about running my Sledge.

[@FarmerFpv]

Kev, the Legend! Nice to see you leave some love to the little guys out there grinding.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

Ive done rc since 1977. Everything from cars, boats, planes, helicopters, u name it, ive done. Recently got back into flying, 3 months before covid. Ive raced professionally with kinwald, the Losi group, etc. 1st time in my life ive ever seen this! I subbed & will be using YOUR method on my next body!

[@XXLRC]

Awesome! Glad you liked it. I do mostly cars and trucks - bashers and crawlers. I do have a boat, but haven’t driven it yet and the only ones I fly are drones. Have not had a chance to try a helicopter or plane.

I never would have thought of using dish soap to paint a body I'm going to try that.thank for the video.

[@coppershark1973]

Wow! Doing this for my Tamiya Hornet Evo. 👍👍

[@XXLRC]

Awesome! It’s going to look amazing!

[@JDB.91]

I've seen the dish soap method for art but have never thought about it for an RC body, your result is amazing!

[@XXLRC]

My wife makes custom tumblers and resin art. I’ve seen the dish soap used a lot on that side of crafting. I’m really happy with how it turned out on the RC body. Such a unique design.

[@fawnnelson3369]

Hi Jeff... I watch all of Sandy's videos, order glitter when I can and thought I'd look at one of yours. This truck turned out AMAZING! You've got a new subscriber! Great job!!!

Thanks man! I’m loving how it turned out. Glad you enjoyed the how-to. I’d like to see that Ferrari body when it’s done.

[@MrNasty-ei1zz]

Love the colors

[@XXLRC]

Thanks!

[@the.just.able.biker67]

That looks crazy!! I love how the colours blend into each other. Using the soap to make a random pattern really makes the blends stand out. Thats me subbed. 👍

[@HoosierRC]

Following these steps tonight.. so far so good painting my losi nascar

[@XXLRC]

Awesome! How’d it turn out?

[@HoosierRC]

@XXLRC eh.. it's ok the dish soap got runny. I didn't want to just cake the first coat on i sprayed light coats and by the third the soap started running.. it looks cool though I'll try again maybe thicker soap?

[@XXLRC]

I saw the picture you posted on my Facebook page. I think it looks awesome. I actually like the lighter ends of the colors. Good job! 👍

[@parchedpixels5804]

That looks amazing. I am now strongly considering this technique for my next buggy body. But perhaps just two-tone. Thanks very much!

[@XXLRC]

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video and it gave you inspiration. What colors are you going to do?

[@parchedpixels5804]

I’m thinkin Tamiya metallic blue and white in the soap tracks.

[@XXLRC]

That’ll look awesome! I like that metallic blue. I used it on my MAXX with fluorescent orange.

[@Baldheadnut]

Thank you so much that was driving me crazy cause I thought you paint the outside of the car God Bless U

[@XXLRC]

No problem. Happy to help!

[@Thunderchops1984]

What a great idea! Can’t wait to try that. Think I’ll give that a go on my hornet to jazz it up a bit.

I love the way it turned out. I’m sure it will look great on your hornet.

[@reapersrcperformance8835]

Looks freaking awesome 👌 👏 👍

[@XXLRC]

Thanks!

[@BlackThunderRC]

Love the look ! But never been a fan of blacked out windows. Also if you are from the UK you will have a good laugh at the name of the paint 😂

[@XXLRC]

Thanks. Had to have my UK co-worker fill me in. I guess I need to be more careful when selecting paint brands. 😅

[@tankinfrankrc1087]

That is so cool. I have lots of partial cans of different colors, I have to try this. Thanks for the vid.

Awesome! Glad it inspired you. Those little cans of paint are expensive, might as well use them up. Hope to see a video of your paint job on your channel!

[@rcwb110]

A truly creative approach, and you make it look so simple. :-) I just spent the whole day painting a two-tone Traxxas UDR body, makes me wonder why all the fuss when it can be so simple and EPIC like yours! 🙂

[@XXLRC]

Thanks! Glad you like it. I'm kinda stuck in a similar situation. I've got a K10 body for my SCX6 and I wanted to do a classic paint scheme on it, maybe two-tone or stripes, but after seeing the results on this one, I'm tempted to do a similar one for it as well.

[@rcwb110]

@@XXLRC It feels typical to the 90's, this kind of scheme. I guess we're growing old. Seems like it was yesterday! I'm sure that no matter what you choose, it is going to be really nice no matter what. Keep it real, man, I'm loving your content!

[@XXLRC]

Thanks, man. I appreciate that.

[@MysticRiverRC]

Awesome technique! I haven't painted any bodies yet, but this gives me a huge confidence boost in maybe going a little wild with my first one.

[@XXLRC]

Hey thanks! I say go for it. This is a really easy technique. Just make sure you do the prep work (cleaning, masking, etc) and it will turn out great!

[@Cmoney-d4e]

Very cool

[@XXLRC]

Thanks!

[@Dupdopy]

That's amazing! I must try it one day! One thought: these neon colors might be metallic. Will it be even cooler? =)

[@XXLRC]

You could definitely try it. I think the best way to get metallic would be to use a clear metallic before spraying the neon colors.

[@Dupdopy]

@@XXLRC Right. I absolutely must try this =)

[@XXLRC]

Go for it! Can't wait to see the result!

Awesome. Do a part 2

[@XXLRC]

What would you like to see in part 2?

[@Crypto_Brandon]

@XXLRC that's a good question. I'm not sure. Maybe instead of black, you can do the front like a dark blue and the back black and then do either cool colors or warm colors for the background

[@rccat6059]

Awesome job

the paint came out amazing, I'd like to try some patterns or images,

[@AussieBassplayer]

Super cool idea! One of the worst thing about RC for me, is painting and cutting out bodys haha

[@XXLRC]

Not my favorite thing either. I’ve found that if you take your time with all the prep work, it will turn out a lot better and unique designs like this make it a lot more fun to do.

[@theadventuresoflario]

Thats awesome,....did you let the original black base over the dish soap dry first before washing the soap off?

[@XXLRC]

Thanks! I didn’t not let it dry. Wash the soap off immediately.

[@Bullet2403]

Sick!

[@XXLRC]

Thanks!

[@SkunkWorks2001]

Absolutely beautiful 👍 Question: how long did you wait before you rinsed the soap off? Was the paint still “tacky”?

[@XXLRC]

Rinse the soap immediately after spraying the black. I know it sounds weird to spray fresh paint with water, but it will not wash it off.

[@SkunkWorks2001]

@@XXLRC 👍 thanks much!

[@XXLRC]

You’re welcome. I recently did another video showing this technique. Check it out on my channel.

[@XXLRC]

Thanks! It’s probably my favorite paint job.

[@VinydFPV]

Awesome video and badass paint job!!! Did you scuff the body before the initial coat of paint?

[@XXLRC]

I did not scuff the inside. Just washed it with soap and water to get any of the mold release off.

[@Noximus03]

Well, that just earned a subscriber. Top shelf job, bud. How long did you let the base coat sit before rinsing the soap out? A minute or two, or right after?

[@XXLRC]

Thanks so much. Glad you liked it! I rinsed the soap off right after I got done spraying the paint.

I believe if you put the stickers in water they will come off and put them on wet so you can move them around if you need to
