Default Shane Johnson STRR

Here's a new one for Shane Johnson, who currently sits 2nd in the points standings for Sportsman Truggy in the JBRL Nitro Series (right behind me). Shane wanted me to use Jared Tebo's scheme as a starting point, but then he added a few of his own ideas and let me go from there. I think the final result turned out really nice. As usual, the camera doesn't do it justice, but the red, white and blue are candy metallic colors that sparkle in the sunlight. The stars are outlined in chrome.

Thanks Czech. I took my time trying to get it just right this time. Now I have to implement the same technique on my own cars!

I depends on what type of paint and airbrush you're using, and what technique you're applying to the scheme. 40psi is probably a good starting point, but if you're doing highly detailed work (like shading flames), you might want less pressure and thinner paint.

I always work between 35 to 60 psi depending on the color and efect i want to get. I only use Faskolor and my airbrush is a Harder & Steenbeck Infinity. More important to air pressure is the flow capacity of your compressor...
