Every body I paint has alot of work in it. I like having a good looking body on the track. It doesnt matter what kind of race it is. One color bomb paint jobs get under my skin. I realize that not everyone can airbrush bodies themselves, or pay someone else to do it, but it just erks me when I see someone not want to take enough time to even mask off the widows or put any decals on. If all you can manage for whatever reason is one color, thats fine. Take some time with the mask and decals at least. Put on the lights and widow trim. It really helps those bodies look better. I realize some my bodies dont fit the suggested guidlines for the class, but then again niether does a car without headlights or windows. I also get the idea of a practice body, but dont most of use just use a old beat up body for that anyway?
We cant be too scared to mess these bodies up (within reason, replacing after one or two races is excessive) Thats what they are there for. Besides, a destroyed body just gives me an excuse to come up with a new paint scheme.

I get ya. I dont annoyed at one color neccessarily. They can be, with the right acutraman some of the best looking bodies out there. Functioning headlights dont hurt and are definately cool. I was mainly refering to the bodies that look like they were plasti-dipped and habe no details added. But hell that better than some SCT bodies ive seen. They didnt even take the protective film off. No paint, no mask, no decals. Just drilled some body post holes and threw it on the track.

One colour wonders annoy the hell out of me too. Thankfully not too many people have them at our track. Now that being said, my current bodies are both one solid colour, but I mask the windows and make use of all the decals that are included with the bodies. My USGT car even has head and fog lights now.
Too bad they don't still look this good. I'm kind of rough on bodies.

Thanks! All I do is club race, I've only been involved at one 'Event' and that was held at our track. I'm still relatively new to painting bodies, the Mustang is only the second body I've done and was done in a hurry, and the Ford GT is my third.
