Default Nascarkeith's Paint & Zombie Camo Bodies (Zombie Camo Finished!)

COMING SOON!


Like many good ideas this one started out as a conversation between friends. My friend, who is really into zombies, asked me to help come up with a paint scheme for his crawler. Based on some Morning Wood Camo I had seen before I suggested the Zombie Camo idea and here we are today.

Morning Wood Camo that uses stripper silhouettes.


I thought it would be cool to use zombie silhouettes. This is a rough sketch of the idea.


I am in the process of getting paint masks cut for these zombies so they are the shapes you will see in the camo.


I have a Proline Flo-Tek and a Proline 2 Door Jeep that I plan on painting this design on. If they turn out good and the paint masks turn out to be inexpensive enough I would be open to painting a few of these up to sell.

I haven't painted bodies to sell before but this is a unique idea and I thought it was worth a shot. I have painted several custom bodies for myself. Below are some examples.

Here is a step by step of what I have so far.

Painted the back with a brush to save time on masking.


Masked lights and grill and started applying zombies.


More zombies.


Outlined more zombies.


Painted in big zombies.


Backing coat of light gray.


Still need to peel some of the zombie masks and spray black. Then, spray green around the windows and back it all with white. So far I like how it is looking.

Thanks for the compliments and encouragement.

Jim, that sounds cool.

I'm thinking about doing zombie camo flames on a blue body next.

Remember guys it's for sale!

Zombie Camo paint job #1 is finished!





Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. The headlights aren't exactly awesome but I'm still learning.

Finished my second body using zombie camo. Added a flame design on this one.






This was my first attempt at carbon fiber. I think it turned out pretty good.
