Tamiya Hornet EVO RC Custom Paint Job HOW TO

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

That’s an acid trip of a paint job. Looks awesome

[@ShenRC]

Thanks it looks sick!

[@meirdeaph]

Once you backed it with that black! Wow Holy cow! Custom paint jobs makes rcs so much cooler.💯❤️🙌

[@ShenRC]

Yes pretty cool how it turned out... now I am scared to run it! LOL!!!

[@RCBirds]

Amazing design Steve. Thanks for showing the whole process. I'll try this on one of my next projects.

[@ShenRC]

Your welcome, Try it out It came out super nice!

[@madATcomputer]

He's ruining his hornet! lol Looks great. Fun part about R/C kits is doing it however you like. "I love gold!"

[@ShenRC]

😁 Yeah, And the gold looks killer!

[@BasBoyRC]

That's going back painting lexan with a brush, the paints in the UK stank but they never came off. Interesting way to paint a sort of brushed on glitter Pollock. Cool the Proline paints go straight into the airbrush, I always spray my hands :-) The masking seemed a lot thicker than normal the way it came off, then it popped. Going with only a few stickers was they way to go.

[@ShenRC]

Thanks it came out so nice! yeah the clear covering was hard to get off for some reason? proline paints work great. Now I want to experiment more with this paint style!

[@SpaceCoastStreetRippers]

Steve, you"re 100% the coolest dude in RC!!! Hornet turned out awesome, I was skepical when I saw you dump all that glitter, but holy smokes, SHE'S A BEAUTY BABY!!!

[@ShenRC]

Thanks so much, I did not know what it would turn out like but She is a wild one! The paint job turned out insane!

[@bullfrogmachine]

That turned out mint 👍 wasn't sure at first but got better and better and beeeauty now👌 great job

[@ShenRC]

Thanks! looks even better in person, It's crazy how paint jobs can change the whole look!

[@danjaz2000]

You smashed it out of the park. Can't wait for the sun to come out for you

[@ShenRC]

Thanks! it's so cool looking!

[@Houleigan]

WOW! Looks fantastic! When it was just the splots I was kind of ick. But the end result is amazing Awesome job Steve!

[@ShenRC]

Ha ha yeah that's what I was thinking, came out sweet and looks way better in person I am scared to run it now!

[@Houleigan]

@@ShenRC Will look sweet in sunlight, can't wait for a running vid (just find a grass area cut really short to protect that sweet paint job)

[@madATcomputer]

@@ShenRC you could do a second body for running to save wear and tear on the glitter bomb body

[@Paul__FC]

That looks great! It's a fall season body. Awesome

[@ShenRC]

Thanks it's killer so nice in person!

[@HaydadRC]

Interesting process Steve! It came out great and minimal decals was definitely the way to go!👍😊

[@ShenRC]

Thanks it looks so nice in person..scared to run it!

[@Gale_Force_Raceway]

Wow!!! Didn’t see that painting comin, fantastic! I’ll feel bad when it hits the dirt !😂😢

[@ShenRC]

I know I almost don't want to run it!! Thanks for looking.

[@MadBeeRC]

Love it Steve! Crazy!

[@ShenRC]

It looks so nice in person..gotta experiment more with this painting style for sure! Thanks

[@Golfer-Dude]

Back in the late 80s they had a paint called Razzle Dazzle that sprayed crazy glittery colors. I did a Rc car body with it but I didn’t get any pictures of it. We didn’t carry a camera everywhere back then…. It was wicked cool though!

[@ShenRC]

Yeah I bet those paints were awesome back then!

[@AddamsPlayground]

I won't lie, in the beginning I was very worried. It looked like someone had been snorting glitter and sneezing on the body. Once you got more on it I was a little less worried but still unsure. once the black went on it came alive and looks freaking cool! I would have never thought to go that route but it turned out great and you definitely have a 1 of 1 Hornet right there. Even if others do the same thing there is no way it will be the same. You are one adventurous wild man when it come to paint but they always seem to work out! This one really did!!!

[@ShenRC]

You know me I like the glitter flake metal effect! This is so cool! I was going to do three colors of purple and it would probably have looked awesome also, I did learn from the rear wing that leaving the markings a bit further apart so more of the body color gets shown in-between makes it look better I think. Now i want to play around with this painting style with more colors!! Thanks Addam.

[@AdventureTimeRC]

Another great paint job Steve i enjoy your interesting style it always makes a cool body

[@ShenRC]

Thanks I like this style also! got to try some more like this!

[@martinhsrc6699]

Looks great 👍

[@ShenRC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@davethorhauer1468]

Love ur paint videos. Painted my tomahawk with the translucent red backed in gold. More paint vids..lol.

[@ShenRC]

That's cool that color looks great! I have to try some more of this type and I have something else I want to try next time also! Thanks

[@darrenpaulic442]

I've painted a lot of bodies myself, but that turned out excellent 👌. Great choice of stickers too.

[@ShenRC]

Thanks I love the look of it.

[@markconnor269]

That looks amazing 🤩 I'm definitely stealing that idea 😁👌

[@ShenRC]

Go for it! Thans for watching.

[@RonneyHunter]

A Great paint job!! I love it.

[@ShenRC]

Thanks, I love how it turned out too!

[@Fonzierc]

Definitely a very cool paint job . Nice work

[@ShenRC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@AndrewCressy-cv6bx]

Looks good! I didn't think it would at the beginning of the video but she's a beauty allright

[@ShenRC]

It's crazy how you never know how it will turn out! 😁

[@stevemoon2136]

Damn, Steve, you getting fancy, bro!

[@ShenRC]

Thanks I thought I would try a new style of painting, It works awesome!

[@damienmctasney4679]

Looks so good my friend...Love it

[@ShenRC]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@JarrettDorough]

Looks like a drunk bass boat, I like it!

[@ShenRC]

The sparkle glitter effect is awesome! Thanks

[@coygtrc]

Looks awesome 👍🤝

[@ShenRC]

Thanks! Now I want to paint more like this!

[@fishn365]

Friggin killer! Love the glitter camo! This may be a dumb question...could you add the decals on the underside of the body before painting? Just thinking if bashing the heck outta it, would the decals start to take a beating.

[@ShenRC]

Thanks it looks even better in person. The only way to put decals in the inside would be to stick them on from the inside with the clear I used but they probably wont hold up your better off with them on the outside.

[@fishn365]

@@ShenRC like you said, it's gonna pop in the sunlight! The decal question was just more of a thought. Just wondered if you had ever tried it..

[@ShenRC]

@@fishn365 Hi they used to sell like a paint glue you could cut out photos or anything from magazines you would brush the stuff on the photos and then stick it inside the clear bodies.. probably can still do that with the clear primer stuff I used if you wanted to?

[@fishn365]

@ShenRC Yeah..maybe you're thinking of Mod Podge? I watch a fishing lure maker who uses a liquid masking fluid for when he air brushes hang carved lures. He paints it on, sprays colors, then it just lifts off. Kinda like rubber cement.

[@ShenRC]

@@fishn365 Hi that's a liquid mask for putting photos or anything on the inside of a clear RC body you need to do it the way I explained in my last reply. 👍👍

[@trainspotter446]

I do like the paint job it's certainly different and definitely pops.

[@ShenRC]

Awesome! Thanks, I must try this some other time with different colors!

[@trainspotter446]

Metallic blue and back it with silver or go Silver Metallic and back it with blue. Or even green and black So many ideas and combos.

[@ShenRC]

@@trainspotter446 yes so many combos you can do, I was going to first do 3 shades of purple with the black.

[@SyndicateRC]

Very cool, got to try this. Looks amazing.

[@ShenRC]

Cool! Thanks for watching.

[@theRCcarshow]

awesome job brother

[@ShenRC]

[@waynemattera8552]

[@chrisgittings7112]

Man that’s cool

[@ShenRC]

[@ifly65]

Its exactly like the Japanese jewelry boxes from WWII at the antique mall. I might try one with purples, blues and reds. Thanks!

[@ShenRC]

Yeah it looks neat! Thanks

[@RCTeamAustria]

great job!

[@ShenRC]

😁👍

[@UncleBobsRC]

Damn Steve...... Vader said it best "Impressive" and "The Force is Strong with This One"

[@ShenRC]

😁👍 Thanks, I will have to try this technique some more down the road!

[@adnrc2380]

Bien😊

[@ShenRC]

😁👍

[@jjm2948]

Sweet job, wonder how this would look on that sweet TF3

[@ShenRC]

Thanks! I think this will look good on any RC!

[@IowaBudgetRCBashers]

I’ve got a whole set of createx paints and clear .. I’m curious to see how well it sticks to lexan

[@ShenRC]

Hi professional RC body painters use the createx for painting lexan bodies, they do make different types for stuff though I remember them saying they made the paints for parma remember faskolor probably make it for proline too I bet.

[@TCTc-o4s]

Hi very nice paint job. What compressor do you use for your air brushing?

[@ShenRC]

Hi thanks, it's a old hobbico model maker CP101 1/8HP .90cfm model they don't make it no more but any of the new ones will probably be even better. thanks for watching.

[@DustyFingersRC]

Another interesting custom paint job to add to your list. Nice job 👍🏻

[@ShenRC]

@@DustyFingersRC Thanks it came out sweet!

[@DustyFingersRC]

@@ShenRC Sure did 👍🏻
