The white in the front has a gold pearl in it but it didn't show too well. And Also the line trapping the neon green in is alcad 2 chrome. the alpha's headlights are ugly so I "kicked them up a notch" BAM!! A little japanese styling never hurt an RC body.

Hi,
i've gotten started in this hobby. I posted a pic elsewhere on this site a few months ago a pic of my 1/12 daewoo matiz. i bought it because i wanted a model of my car. well i like to put some work in my models so i got a bit bored of the hatchback. so here's my new body for that chassis. its from the maker of the same car (academy). only their plastic kits seem to be available in australia. i buy mine from NZ. in europe they are available from germany i think. so without further ado here it is!!
by the way, couldnt be bothered getting my airbrush set up. the effect you see on the body is from a $1.50 toothbrush!! the rest is hand-painted in tamiya acrylic. you dont HAVE to spend heaps of money on a nice paint-job

and one more and then i'll leave you alone!! btw, when i say the effect made by a toothbrush i mean the bits that kinda look sprayed. the rest is with normal brushes naturally...

Three questions.
1. The blue 3M tape you guys are using for masking, is it the blue tape I see at home depot? Could you give the details of what it is called and size? I have been using just plain ole yellow masking tape.
2. I asked punisher what airbrush to get and he suggested the Iwata, is that ok for faskolor?
3. Currently I am using a $5 air brush and have used a couple of badgers and they all seem to shoot small dots when using faskolor, instead of a flat liquid spray like a laquer does when doing drop shadows. Is that typical of faskolor or is that due to the brush and lack of experience?
