Simple RC Body Shell Painting Tips & Tricks! How To: Spray Paint Proline Ford Raptor 2017 Crawler

[@LewdSkywalker]

Very nice. I also had the same body but different color. For the black trims and bed, I masked and painted from the inside. To achieve the flat finish, I cut on the protective film around the black areas and painted with Tamiya flat clear.

[@ralphhowing3473]

Why go through of all the trouble of masking under the body when, as you say, just trim the over spray film like you did and use the f-black on the outside not clear mat. the over spry film makes an awesome detail mask!!!

[@ralphhowing3473]

I've done that too, but why not use flat black on the out side you've got your black and flat all in one shot, killing two birds with one stone

Awesome Job man, stay Built Ford Tough

[@elektron2kim666]

Awesome. I'm about to paint one extra body, so I got some good ideas out of it. I painted laptops, watches and whatnot as well.

[@matthew.sugiarto]

so TS can be used on RX lexan body? Does it adhere well? I see some minor scratches in the video

[@BBStudioPH]

Yes it does adhere. Unfortunately, the matte black paints can be chipped off easily specially when hitting or sliding on rocks.

[@19coyote5oh9]

Beautiful job!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@BBStudioPH]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@brich2929]

Do you have to be sure to clean any soap residue from outside the masked area before painting?

[@BBStudioPH]

Yes. Just to be sure that the surface is clean before painting.

[@Chaos4Eva1]

Great video! I'm gonna "try" to recreate what you did. I'll probably end up with a smashed black and orange pumpkin thing.. lol

[@luckyenam6329]

Very dope content any chance we get a driver and interior In future?

[@avelasqu22]

Nicely done! I just got the same body and am looking to replicate your process. Thank you so much for sharing. One question though, when you get to the black, do you think it would have been easier to just x-zacto knife the overspray film on the parts you wanted to paint black and then just spray the whole thing black? This is the only thing I am considering on changing from your video and just wanted to reach out to see what your thoughts were.

[@BBStudioPH]

What you said would have been easier, but you must also make sure that you don't damage the body shell and the film is firmly applied to the body during painting. I prefer to do the masking myself because it is easier to see if there are adjustments needed and fix.

[@xperncegaming3702]

Sick man!

[@playerpianogal]

Very well done!!! Could you please put a link as to where to buy the masks for the car windows?? I just painted a body in black, and it looks beautiful.....but the windows are black as well. :-(( I cannot seem to find stick-on masks ANYWHERE on line. and I plan on doing another car soon. Thank you!!!!

Nice paint work. I have the same color Tamiya amarok CC01. Congrats from Sri Lanka.

[@adickurig]

For the flat paint part: obviously you cant pain this from inside or it won't be flat. But, couldn't you use a hobby knife to slice the cellophane cover and remove only isolated pieces and make the exterior masking part easier?

[@BBStudioPH]

Yes you can absolutely do that. It's much more easier than the way I did it.

[@DerRC-Papst]

is primer necessary? just wondering if i need to spend another 11 on primer

[@Losi5t20]

Why did you paint the outside I mean I'm guessing it will stick but I will also chip off easier

[@yaeirleija9581]

How long did it take you to finish

[@budman89799]

What kind of shampoo? What's the ratio of shampoo to water? Awesome work!

[@bluemoon3407]

hai bro, the outer body paint,does it last long? bcoz im about to paint mine.😅

[@BBStudioPH]

It depends on your use brother. Make sure that each layer is completely dry before painting another layer. Just take good care of your body and it will last long.

[@the.just.able.biker67]

Just a couple of questions because I'm new to rc's. 1: Is there a specific kind if soap younise before masking the windows? 2: do you have to use a damp cloth to rinse away the excess soap on the body before drying it, or do you just give it a wipe with a dry cloth?

[@BBStudioPH]

To answer your questions: 1. Any will do but I suggest to use a dishwashing soap. 2. Yes. You can use damp cloth, it's much faster to clean that way.

[@the.just.able.biker67]

@@BBStudioPH Thank you very much for the quick reply. I'm looking forward to giving it a go on my ftx rock van.

[@riothero313]

@@BBStudioPH Yeah, dish washing soap cuts through any oils from your finger prints since it is made to clean grease.

@@BBStudioPH yeh it goes on fine & looks no different to the TS, only difference is PS doesn't flake & has flex, so if/when the lexan shell takes impact and bends, the paint wont flake off ;)

[@akmalnoor320]

just sharing, some thinners damage the plastic body shells….from experience😩. Since then i’ve used isopropyl alcohol. No more damage.

[@craigknauss9250]

What do you use to smooth out the edges

[@BBStudioPH]

Sand paper 200 grit. Wrap it on a bottle or small can if you want to smoothen the fenders arc.

[@JumelCastanares]

I noticed you peeled the protective paint off and then remasked to paint the fenders, bed and hood vent. Im curious why did you that way?

[@BBStudioPH]

I want to achieve the flat black finish for fenders, bed and hood vent that's why I painted it on top of the body.

[@JumelCastanares]

I know that. You could've just left the protective film and use a hobby knife to trace score the fenders and peel that section off. It was just extra work you did I was curious about

[@BBStudioPH]

@@JumelCastanares sorry about that. I am just more confident in doing that technique plus it helps me visualize the outcome that I want. I am also afraid to scratch the body. 😊

[@goforitpainting]

Cool 🛻

[@BBStudioPH]

Thank you!!!

[@dualtrondreamteam6811]

Why didnt you shoot the black from the inside

[@BBStudioPH]

That would result to a gloss finish.

[@dualtrondreamteam6811]

@@BBStudioPH could you not sand the outter surface with wet and dry to remove the shine that way the paint cant be scrapped off the outside of the body

[@slottygw2wvw842]

Im shocked the TS paint didn't eat the polycarbonate plastic..........

[@anub1s15]

my main concerns would be either that or it just chipping/flaking off when the body flexes. any update on how that held up over time because that's very interesting (recently built a 97 celica monte carlo body and it's stickers were just a nightmare, planning to build another but not sure if I should paint the livery in to the body as the PS paint doesn't seem to leave the cleanest outlines or perhaps apply something like this to the outside which would definitely be easier but aforementioned concerns)

[@SnarkyRC]

Nah it won't eat it. It's just not flexible like the PS paint.

[@vi5ionary]

Sure feels nice to pull off the outer foil, but why don’t you use it for masking and painting the outside? Feels even better to pull it off AFTER that… 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@jca65lb]

Do you really need to paint the underside also? Wait, it's only the underside that gets paint?

[@BBStudioPH]

Only the underside is painted to achieve the glossy finish.

[@weedfaya959]

Magnifique , mais pourquoi peindre par l extérieur, la parie noire , à la longue la peinture s en va ,

[@SpaceCoastStreetRippers]

The real secret is that wasn't shampoo. Its the protien that really helps it stick.

[@slottygw2wvw842]

BRUH!? wow

[@Thatguy-zh1ln]

All that work to bash it and beat it. I buy pre painted bodies and apply flex seal to the interior to make it more durable

[@Harvz78]

Should have outlined the windows too.

[@markiootje]

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeett

[@ralphhowing3473]

To start with do not remove the body mask, you could have just trimmed where you wanted your black, a sharp knife will do great! remove body over spray film at the last step only!!!!!! Now you have tape residue all over the body!!!

[@ungurdani8346]

Salut my friend super car . super video subscribe subscribe

Decent. Now it needs an interior.

use nail remover

Nice job, man. I think you could have saved yourself some hassle while spraying the flat black on the outside shell by using the overspray film as your mask and cutting out the parts to be painted.

It's more prone to damage on the outside. One bump and you'd see the color underneath.
