Very nice. I like the skulls. Have thought about picking up a template to try them myself

Went with a few of the guys I race with to do a demostration of our R/C's at a local school. I brought my airbrush and compressor and did this up quickly. It's hard to concentrate with 200 screaming children in a gym.
Caster Body
Detailing on the side Createx Pearl Red on a Opaque Red background, so they fade in nicely until viewed at the right angle. The top is a heavy coat of Pearl Silver backed in a light coat of copper. Detail on the top is a very light coat of copper. Everything is then backed in white. Simple, but I only had 30 minutes.

For a Buddies son his first time out running a full season. He likes Blue and Green and the number 88
This one is just because I saw a car done with stars but it was not a good picture

Frank, no problem, thanks!
Blacktiger355, nice work. If you want to make the stencils look less "stencily" just hit the outer edges of each skull in a circle pattern with the shading color a little bit before spraying in the background color. Only takes a minute and the difference is worth it.
This will give them a little depth. You can even do some where you make the eyes red, or blue and the teeth white, but most of the time it blows the budget for a race body.
Best of luck!

Thanks for the tip Jim. I did that a little between the two areas of the stencil I used. I will try some more edge smoothing next time.
