This is how I do it … Lexan rc car body painted on both sides w/salt technique for a rusty look

In this tutorial I’ll show you how I made the TOWDG3 Dodge Power Wagon Proline body for a customised Axial SCX10 tow truck chassis.
Lexan / polycarbonate rc car body painted on both sides using salt technique to create a rusty look.
I also use real rust and pigments to enhance the weathered look.
Enjoy
-
Dans ce tutoriel je vais vois montrer comment j’ai réalisé la carrosserie du Dogdge Power Wagon TOWDG3 installée sur un Axial SCX10 modifié en dépanneuse.
La carrosserie en lexan a été peinte sur les deux faces en utilisant la technique au sel. J’ai aussi utilisé de la vraie rouille et des pigments pour renforcer l’effet.
J’espère que vous y découvrirez des trucs.

Wow. Amazing Nico... After long years of waiting you showed us how it is done. I can not thank you enough... Thanks man.

Very Genial !!! I've used the two part Rust Patina in Model Railroading for YEARS, but never thought of using it on RC Bodies before!

Incredible job, much appreciation for uploading these extremely helpful videos! Nice use of the Dremel and the Xacto blade "scratching", never would have thought of that in a million years... (one minor mention - maybe a little more footage of the finished truck before fading out to the end of the clip, so we can appreciate them even more without them being hidden since KZbin puts preview thumbnails up on top of the screen at that point?)

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! And thanks for the end advice, I'll remember it for the next video 🙏

Stunning work! I’m just about to paint a Proline F100 66 Ford cab, and you have changed my plan with it, I’ll try out your techniques now. I have also just started a ‘ground up’ build based on the VS4-10 chassis, that will be using the Mojave 2 four door hard body from RC4WD. I really didn’t know what colour to paint it, or if I should try and weather it, or not. You know I’m absolutely gonna try and use some of your techniques on that too! Thanks for taking the time to share 👍

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you for the feed back, good to read your comment … and now show me your rig!

[@roadhazard6620]

fullspeeddesign I'd love to show you the truck... But not quite sure how... Got a good bit of work still to do on it, but the body same came out great. Thanks again... There's an RC related site called Magnatfied.... It's on there, in the "What did you do to your RCs today?" thread... Old rusty '66 F100 with a wooden stakeside bed on it...

[@roadhazard6620]

I've put a quick vid on KZbin of the truck... next one will be similar, red, maybe a little less rusty, but this is the way to go for me from now on... now I'm doing a Power Wagon for my buddy. They say imitaion is the sincerest form of flattery...👍🇨🇦

Thank you so much!!! I've got a Proline 1966 Ford F-100 Body for my new Arrma Granite 4x4 Blx and am wanting to make an old clunker farm truck and didn't know where to begin but thanks to you I now know,but could I use Tamiya Corsa Gray instead of yellow?

[@danielkonrad1444]

No. This technique only works with yellow. Its impossible to change the colour.

[@egoperest]

Great work and series! Inspirational! About that rust, is it harmful as the natural rust?

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! That rust is made with real steel power and acid is used to activate it so you have to take precautions. Once it's done and dry you can protect it with varnish to avoid contamination. With pigment and salt you can have very realistic results too, takes a little more time and skills too ;-)

[@danielmcclelland9428]

Awesome paint job , really love what you did , where did you get the window frame ???

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you Daniel! Window frame is cut out of a thin steel sheet

[@blueborealis]

I love this. So well done. How well could it be made to stand up to actual use on the trail? Anything good to cover it with?

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! As is it's not built for heavy hard rock crawling, more luke realistic cool riding

[@brav020907]

What are you using to draw lines in between the body lines? Pencil, pen, marker?

[@stephenkeogh-hardy5548]

When you sprayed the first over layer did you let it dry before brushing it off?

[@fullspeeddesign]

Yes, otherwise paint sticks and leaves traces.

[@brianherskowitz3020]

Awesome work man!!Where did you get the windshield frame?? Please

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you Brian, I've cut the windshield frame in a thin sheel of steel.

[@achillerc3483]

Bonjour, superbe travail !! Pour la base de fer , il y a plusieurs teintes vous prenez laquel fer , or , bronze, argent ?Merci d'avance

[@fullspeeddesign]

Merci ! Je mélange les 2, silver un peu partout et bronze aux endroits que je souhaite rouiller

[@showroomhobbies482]

I see that you painted over the salt did you sand till most of it was gone?

[@fullspeeddesign]

It depends of the quantity of salt you put, I like to put a little too much salt and leave some between the paint layers … it adds texture. If you sand down all the salt your paint will be flat … it coold be cool too, it just depends of the project. The best is to try on an old body or plastic bits you have left.

[@anthonyganley5975]

Hi can you confirm the paint colours used? I couldn't tell from the video. Great work!

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! Inside colors Tamiya PS-12, PS-14. Outside PS-6, PS-55

[@eM4rio]

amazing video !!! what an effect, wow ! Do you remember what cutting wheel did you used for your Dremel? Can't find it anywhere on Dremel site, and those EZ click wheels are just to thick for me :/

[@fullspeeddesign]

Thank you! The cutting wheel is not from Dremmel, it came in an accessoiries kit from a cheap brand, I don't remind the name.

[@eM4rio]

@@fullspeeddesign thank you, keep up the great work! :)

[@crushingsnakes1972]

Did you do something to break the surface tension of the water?

[@fullspeeddesign]

If you mean around 4:00 before applying the salt … no. With the spray I have various sizes of drops. I don't want water allover the surface, neither too regular.

[@gigahertzrchowtos9707]

Can i ask what you used to do the detailing at 6:30 in video, is that a sharpie pen or pencil?

A cheap Bic Mechanical Pencil, I perfer the 0,7 mm.

Yes a simple graphite pencil. You can erase it if you make a mistake 👍
