Rc painting

I painted my first RC clear body. Sorry I don't actually show the painting, the next body I will. This was lots of fun with the style incorporated, no need to mask the body other than the windows, window mask came with the body. #rcracing #rcpaint #rc #painting

[@tkrlex3462]

Hi how do you get the effect . Did you paint the black and dab the paint with something . Did you use tamiya paint

[@turbo77]

Most ppl use a plastic trash bag or napkin with blk paint

[@EyeOfRah]

I used a plastic bag, just a regular Walmart bag worked for me

[@aaronlanger7555]

Looks amazing, defs going to try your technique out! Also as for the wing - you could definitely get away with sanding that down using some fine grit sand paper, like 400 I would recommend. Sand it nice and smooth, blow it down and clean with alcohol and give it a fresh spray of black and it'll end up with a much smoother finish. 👍 great work man

[@EyeOfRah]

Yeah, I'm sure that would of produced a much need clean look. Thanks for adding that tip in. Might need even higher grit as you wouldn't want to accidentally scrape too much off. I would love to see how yours comes out

[@constancecrispell3684]

CANDY COLOR WOULD OF LOOKED COOL ALSO

[@RacerRC]

Put a sticker on the spoiler ...i like your technique

[@EyeOfRah]

@@RacerRC yeah that's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion and comment

[@constancecrispell3684]

Color shift paint will make paint change color in sunlight

[@EyeOfRah]

That would be dope

[@rcstumpjumpers2049]

Great job dude. I hope my first one will turn out as good as yours. Great color combo. I am going to try to incorporate racing stripes and use your method to do so. Thanks for the vid.

[@EyeOfRah]

Thanks I appreciate it. What color will you do the stripes? I would recommend making sure a good masking is applied so no bleed through. My belief is start with the darkest colors. If you start with lighter colors the darker colors over the lighter colors have a tendency to bleed through and change the color of the lighter color.

[@rcstumpjumpers2049]

I really like the outcome of yours. Maybe some gun metal on the stripes, doing them like the body. The theme I'm after is "a ghost".

[@EyeOfRah]

@@rcstumpjumpers2049 that would look really nice. are you using cans or air spray? To get the cleanest lines you may have to mask first and do that color 1st step. Me though I would lay down the masking where the strips are and do last, but the problem with that is you pray for a clean tape pull once you apply the colors you want for the body. So 2 ways to achieve. I'm excited for your style and hope to see it

[@LuisLopez-ed7oc]

Dude you got down. I havent yet bought my first body but seen this video to see how hard it would be.. i dont think it would be all that difficult to do this.. i was always worried about having to paint the body and thinking it would look shitty but after seeing this i am more confident that i know myfirst time will look bad ass. Ive painted house walls with sponges and feather dusters and if this is anything like that sheeeesh i got it made.. thanks for this video.. really. Thanks, Snoopy

[@EyeOfRah]

Thanks for the awesome comment. Yeah this was super easy and I didn't know if it was gonna even come out good until it dried. When you pull the plastic sheeting off after drying it's even more amazing. Came out way better than a taped up paint job I tried on another body

[@LuisLopez-ed7oc]

EYE of - RA you have a video of it

[@LuisLopez-ed7oc]

Where do you buy your paint at

[@EyeOfRah]

I bought mine from tower hobbies

[@SmannGoTitans]

That’s a pretty car but the car building. It’s not the colors I want I want a neon orange and I’ll probably just paint it on orange because I like the decals. It’s an F1 car.

[@revolutionaryhippies6972]

Would it work with 3 dark colors

[@EyeOfRah]

It should just start with your darkest color first and let dry between applications. You damage the paint by having at it, I used a plastic bag to get this effect

[@constancecrispell3684]

Use createx color next time

[@EyeOfRah]

The cans I used where good for this project

[@dspencer8827]

Very nice ,much better result imo to hydro dipping result

[@EyeOfRah]

Yeah I was extremely happy with the result

[@jdubbfam37]

Cool

[@EyeOfRah]

Thank you

[@longcrawler]

You mention, people might not believe you painted the car....your 100% correct, you don't SHOW how YOU actually did the effect.....next vid, show the whole process....

[@EyeOfRah]

Thanks for your suggestion, I didn't have a film crew, no tripod for my cell phone's camera at the time and it was my first time painting. Next time I suggest you buy me all the supplies and I will do it YOUR way. Another suggestion for you, know when to use "your" ,especially when "YOU'RE" (aka you are) commenting in a rude manner. 100% would also suggest that every comment here didn't believe I did it, never comment show the whole process how you came up with 100%..........

[@Artax2040]

Nice and interesting technic !

[@EyeOfRah]

It was a lot of fun. Next time maybe I do multiple colors

[@markmathews5117]

Looks good..Thanks

[@EyeOfRah]

Thank you. This was easy and fun. I would like to try more experimenting with other color combinations next time. I have some ideas but in the same style format

[@jonnygeorgiam]

Hey man im about to do my rc exactly the same as yours... did you use the the plastic bag when paint wet or did you leave the black to dry a little.

[@EyeOfRah]

Hey thanks for the reply and that's a good question? I did it while it was wet I wouldn't say like I sprayed it and then did it immediately but I did spray it and basically took the time to put the bag on my hand and then do it. If I remember correctly I did one panel at a time, not spraying the whole car, I would do one side with spray paint and then use the bag and then do the other side and use the bag.

[@Acompony]

Thank you bro looks good imo

[@gfyracing7632]

Did you use a plastic bag to texture the black?

[@EyeOfRah]

Hi, yes it was just a Walmart bag from shopping there. I layed the black then crumpled the bag in hand and was like sponge dabbing it. I didn't wait long to do it was basically a spray down, put can down, crumple up and hold bag then pick car up and dab at it till I got the look I wanted. I didn't tightly crumple either, was more of a loose crumple

[@EyeOfRah]

decals added kzbin.info/www/bejne/nKCopGZvrtJ9f8U

[@brokenmalisharc272]

It looks awesome I have tried to do that definitely didn't turn out like that great work

[@EyeOfRah]

Thanks. Yeah it was my first attempt at it, I think paint choices matter. I used metallic colors and I think that is what helped.

[@Tokemon72]

Awesome job. Thank you for the video. I am about to paint my first rc body and looking for cool ideas. Thanks again.

[@EyeOfRah]

I appreciate it, and hope your ideas come out looking better than you imagine

[@TW39]

Can I add 3 color marble effect

[@EyeOfRah]

I thought about that also, I wouldn't see why not. My advice is when layering, go from dark to light with colors. I would imagine also if doing blue and yellow by default you would get a green mix in also without using green paint.

[@TW39]

@@EyeOfRah i want to use gun metal grey silver and white

[@EyeOfRah]

@@TW39 that would look really interesting. I would love to see a video if you do it

[@TW39]

@@EyeOfRah when I apply first coat should it be less last coat spray all over

[@EyeOfRah]

@@TW39 if you plan on using the crumbled plastic technique, it shouldn't matter until the last layer which you back it with. I would spray desired area and then use the crumbled plastic do damage it to you get the look you want. Don't wipe , you do more of a dab at it. But final layer no dab

[@rafaelsilveira26]

How did u do that black part it isn't on video

[@EyeOfRah]

Yes sorry it wasn't a great video like I would of liked. When you spray the paint/black in the area right after you damage it. I used a plastic retail bag and wore it like a mitten and patted at the wet paint until desired removal aka damage the paint. Thank you for the comment.

[@SmannGoTitans]

The only thing that car is missing is some chrome rims

[@EyeOfRah]

The tires/rims combo that I had come in where blacked out street tires and looked extremely clean.

[@SmannGoTitans]

@EyeOfRah will probably look good. I would send pics of my cars but I don't know how. I've been building them since I was a kid and I'm 44 years old got a lot going on unfortunate

[@SmannGoTitans]

@EyeOfRah I've built 20+ cars cause I started when I was 5 years old and I use to actually race them for money so my cars are badass but im fixing them up for kids and grandkids

[@SmannGoTitans]

@@EyeOfRah ooy that was good old days because I won a lot

[@EyeOfRah]

@@SmannGoTitans yeah I'm definitely sure the chrome look would be amazing. It's just a look at the time I didn't go with. And unfortunately down the line I had to sell this beauty, fell on some hard times. I'm 49 now and would love to pick this back up with my 8-year-old son. Hopefully one day.

[@dolobrolic6066]

You did it backwards 🤔

[@EyeOfRah]

When painting the body on the inside you do darker colors first to prevent bleed through and darkening of lighter color area if spraying layers.

[@dolobrolic6066]

I do it like this ....but what ever works best for you......✌🏽 1. Optional peal or gold clear and or translucent iridescent paint of your choice. Or clear flakes. 1. Transparent color of your choice. 2. Gold or silver applied with plastic bag 3. Back with Black

[@dolobrolic6066]

It still looks awesome.......but if you do it with the transparent paint. It would look red and dark red instead of red and black. The red and dark red looks deeper.

[@EyeOfRah]

@@dolobrolic6066 the idea was to have 2 separate colors and get a marble effect. I think doing the silver or gold flake first is too get a flake look as I've seen with flake you don't go so heavy to make a dark color either gold or silver. Both paints was a metallic color so I think that helped make it blend well. If it was a matte black then yeah I would probably do the opposite, as the black would be too dark for metallic flake to blead through, also I think the amount of coats would be no more than 2 passes with it being applied last. It's just my understanding because it's inside the body that you do reverse colors, not same as outside like on paper or doing outside of body. I do know you will accomplish 2 different effects if doing dark color first and ending with lighter color as opposed to light color first to dark. So many options and not enough lexan body's paint and cash to really enjoy trying the many different techniques.

[@dolobrolic6066]

@@EyeOfRah The one I did is more like one color. Well multiple shades of red.……………So you got the effect you wanted. 👍🏽 I know It pops hard in the light. You should do another one.

[@Reecefpv]

Pretty awesome. I wonder instead of the red , use a candy red with a silver sparkling backer. The red would be the only part that has any sparkle to it. I'm about to give it a shot. 🤞

[@EyeOfRah]

If you do a video I would love to see it.

[@Reecefpv]

@@EyeOfRah I might actually do that. And I'll definitely give u some credit though, it was the first good one like this I saw 🤘

[@Reecefpv]

@@EyeOfRah oh and it's gonna be on a 1/5th scale 8s Kraton body too. So it's gonna be big. I think I'm gonna have to do something to break it up some through like a different hood maybe the fake carbon fiber look or some kind of 2 tone some how maybe stripes idk yet. It's such a large body to paint.

[@EyeOfRah]

@@Reecefpv thanks that would be cool. I've tried carbon fiber, it was difficult and first try didn't look that good, but I was using the left over and may of not had enough. I really look forward to seeing yours

[@Reecefpv]

@@EyeOfRah I'm not using real carbon fiber I'm just painting it. You take those checkered non-slip mats and lay over it then lightly paint a silver and a black backer and it turns out looking just like carbon fiber

[@RBAERO]

@@EyeOfRah Thank's. But I mean how to apply the colors and get these cool effect on the paint. In this video just show the layers already applied.

[@EyeOfRah]

@@RBAERO no I'm sorry I didn't have video set up to do that. Basically you do dark to light color layer. I first layer down the black and damaged it using a plastic shopping bag while sissy paint was still wet then I let it dry. I backed it with 2 layers of red. I then took window masking off and hit those areas with the black. It's a pretty simple process that I found.

It was a metallic red, not translucent. I wish I did a better video so you could see the process better. After the red is layed down with one coat you can see how it looked. Both paints metallic
