I am not in minnesota, but I can paint them. I do a lot of SC bodies.

i am painting my sc10 4x4 body black with yellow flames on the hood, roof, the 2 doors, and painting the rear deck lid yellow also. would silver or white be a better backer color to really make the black and yellow really stand out?

i found a guy in minnesota that does everything long hand and only uses airbrush. from seeing the bodies he has painted i am shipping my body out to him so i can hopefully get it back before the race coming up on july 15th. my body will be getting alot of attention at the track for sure.
