You have said it many times, cans have their limitation. Your videos always inspire me to try something new. I bought a cheap used airbrush. I started painting with proline airbrush paints....the quality of colors is nice, but doesn't stick the best. Tape pulls in corners a bit. Bleeds a little.so I keep my cans. I'm not sold yet.

I used to use nothing but Tamiya and Pactra Rattle Can paints, that is until everyone started wanting me to paint their RC bodies. I ended up trading the Rattle Cans in for a 26 Gallon Kobalt Quiet Tech Compressor and a few Iwata Airbrushes. Now I'm saving alot more money by airbrushing bodies instead of Rattle cans. I mainly used Faskolor,but now Faskolor is almost obsolete so now I use Pro-Line,Spazstix, Createx, and Wicked Paints. It may be more work to airbrush bodies,but it's alot cheaper in the long run.

If hoarding anything in RC is bad, then lock me up in the asylum! lol A couple of questions come to mind. You experimented with a paint on mask at one time. I have tried that, and other than having to put multiple layers on in order to get enough coverage to make weeding your design easy, it worked pretty well. Now I see you using what looks like everyday yellow masking tape. Finally, I get to the questions! Is there a particular tape that works better than the next? Why not blue or green painters tape?

The only problem with being a subscriber is knowing a lot of us (like me) will never ever have your skills. I am in wrapping and graphics but can still not plan or design anything. But I have staff that can. Bu serious question, if chasing a flat/Matte style finish would doing the base layer (painting inside off course) of the flat help that? A lot of shops I go to don’t have a a very good range of paints or often out of stock so hard to choose colours on the interweb.
@hemistormrc3 жыл бұрын
To achieve a matte finish you should always treat the outside of the body. The clear overspray film you find on the shell is really a protective film to keep the glossy finish of the shell safe while you paint. If you peel the clear film and add a coat of flat clear, whatever is on the inside appears flat. I hope that helps!
