Well my airbrush broke 
so I was forced to just use paint cans. Was really pissed at first but the new shell turned out pretty good. This is my first 1/8 scale so I imagine this body will be looking kinda haggard after it hits the track. No pun intended haha 
Check it out...

Marcos, busy pulling my hair out because I waited too long to paint them...LOL. I'm done now, I'll have 9 pre-painted (was going for 12) but I still have to paint mine, probably with the following scheme.
rdub, here's a better pic of that one in the back.

Any suggestions on a nice dual action brush?(brand and model?)
I'm looking to upgrade a little, thought this would be a good place for some advice

i really like the iwata revolotion gravity feed brush. i made the switch from a paachee (however you spell it) VL and a buddy made the switch from a iwata eclipse hp-bcs we both think the switch was well worth it and the revolution gravity feed brush is arround 80$

XACDesigns, Very nice, I like the colors and it's unique!
BigTaco, I paint for alot of gas on road guys and a couple of them are VERY concerned about Areo, so they mount a new body after any big wrecks. Some of these guys go thru 3 bodies at one race!!!
I guess if aerodynamics matters as much as most on road guys swear it does, running a damaged body isn't too smart and a new one makes sense.
Just glad it isn't so important for off road, !

kyosho scheme but with chrome i used spastix, not a fan of it, but it's all i had. i hate the surface prep that is required with it
02-05-2007, 04:28 AM
all you have to do is buy the spazstix surface pre prep spray (yes, buy the stuff in a spraycan) and spray the lexan you are getting ready to paint. I use it everytime there is bare lexan between colors, etc.
