Default custom bodies

http://www.pro-s-futaba.co.jp/paintbody.htm

I saw these bodies on some japanese site and need help for translation. these look like replicas of pro drivers. I'm wondering what the price is.

if u paint bodies, you'll understand. lets say around 20-25 bucks for a body, paints around 15 bucks, masking 5, hours spent creating the design and painting. if my calculations are right, the labor is only 5 bucks. have u ever airbrushed a body before?

no, i was actually considering buying an airbrush , but not just for rc though. I'm really interested in art, and i like the design on the stratus bodies, but once i looked at it again i noticed it was all repitition. And i know a guy who's best freind paints bodies, and i could always get deals from him.
