My latest. Its a very similar design to a body posted here a while ago. Pretty much everything is painted except for the Losi decal on the window and the little Mazda logo on the grill. The big Team Losi, number plate, keyence, and graphite are all painted. Once again, the pictures dont do the body justice...

This body is sweet. The first glance I thought that is was a retro drawing done for a idea. I like it.

As you should be, you do some great work! I did a slight variation with the orange/yellow part, but more or less your exact design. I absolutely loved it the first time I saw it and wanted to make myself a copy

. Anyway, to answer the question about the colors and paint type, I used Faskolor. The blue was fasescent blue fading into a custom mix of the fasescent blue with white and a touch of silver. The lightest blue is fasflourescent blue, all backed with white. Yellow and orange are both of the flourescent type and the obvious black. Like I said, the photo doesn't do the body justice as you all may know from personal experience. The fasescent blue has a rich and deep color in real life, unlike the color that shows up in the photos. I dunno, maybe I just suck with digital cameras...

Does faskolour need to be sealed with anything?

Or will it be ok for Electric racing cause i know that it would need to be sealed for nitro.

Thanks

i seal everything with fascoat. it makes the body much more scratch resistant. it is especially good for nitro use.
