I spent the weekend painting up some bodies for part 2 of our indoor winter racing series here in Alaska. We race touring cars and minis.

Here's a Mazda Speed 6 body for my TC6.1 WC.


My son's Losi Mini 8ight. He has a touring car too, but gets my hand me down bodies as he beats the hell out of them.


My Losi Mini 8ight that I turned into a truggy.

Cool design. Looks like it came from a guitar or something, but definitely looks good on an R/C car too.

Those are great paint jobs Dave, and really cool size too! Where do they come from? Maybe I'm operating in a vacuum, but I've not seen them before.

Wow, that's a huge Sharpie!!! Just kidding. That took the precision of a surgeon to pull off, and it looks great.

Anyone have experience with auto air paints? Mostly drying time,reducing,sand inside of body? Do you use a bonding agent?

I use it just like Createx or FasKolors. Just the usual prep. Dries with hairdryer just fine.

Thanks,seems like takes a long time to dry. I saw on tube I could swear the guy said it dries in a matter of minutes. Mine does not.
