[Nitrotc3drifter]

anybody have any ideas for a paintscheme on this body:


i plan to get this within the next few days, and i am using cans for it,anyone have any color or simple design pattern siggestions? i was thinking on getting the chamealion paint mabe green to oarnge or green to purple, but i thought i would get some suggestions first before i decided

Hey if you need some paint mask I have a bunch. Also I have a NEW RC Screwz Stainless Screw kit.

sounds cool, what kind of paintmasks you got, and also i may have changed my mind on the body, i like to drift alot, and that body doesnt look right on a drift car this one suits my needs much better:

but im still undecided ;D

Send the body to me. I will paint it...

or actually you can do anything on a body your mind can come up with.. All you need is imagination.

XXX Main Masks work great for simple paint scemes.. FLSPeedfreeks has some of the masks..

Let your mind go wild

i like a simple job, i was thinking of some sort of nice two tone, using the chamealion and white mabe, i got a picture in my head of what i want to do now, so i just gotta get the body and the paint.

BTW, since i am gonna do a lot of drifting, i am going with the skyline body and also, where is FLSpeedfreaks at that you say has some paintmasks, i live in st. petersberg FL i was wondering if it is close to me or not

I'm in Plantation near Miami.

if you like to drift try an easy paint job. fading from black to royal blue will make it look fast standing still. and it will look hot drifting around the block

i was thinking of using chamealion paint and some other color

If your going to use the cam. paint, I dont recomend going with a solid color for your second tone. I'm no painter, but I've seen it and it looks off. Graphics, on the other hand, like racing flags or whatever floats your boat might provide a good mix with the came. paint. Just my opinion.

[Nitrotc3drifter]

yeah!!!! great idea!!!!!!, i can get some paintmasks and do it in white and chamealion!!!!!!! thanks

[flspeedfreaks]

Hey let me know what Masks you want & I'll see if I have it in stock. Thanks Jamie

[hcfr34]

I don't know if I would go as bold as white, but maybe something like the ghost flame look?

[Nitrotc3drifter]

no flames, everybody has flames, i want something different, i was thingking of doing light graphics with white and have the chamealion as a base.......or visa-versa, we'll have to see when i get the body and paint

[hcfr34]

"like" ghost flame. My uncles harley has a ghost checkered flag that wraps around his tanks and fenders...way cool

[Nitrotc3drifter]

you also gotta remember, i am using cans for this too

[hcfr34]

Oh

[Nitrotc3drifter]

my paintscheme would be alot easier if i was a skilled airbrusher, but i painted my mini-t bod with cans and it looks good

White as a base coat won't work real well behind the color-changing paints. Most require backing coats in something dark, black working best. Paint the colorchange first, backed dark and then use the light color (white) as the contrasting color. Use your imagination but don't get to complex if using rattle cans. Simple is better. Go fast, drift hard....

thanks for the advise, i know not to go too complex with cans, i tried to do that with a mini-150 for my t and it turned out like crap but i am gonna do something simple, i may just do it solid chamealion and put the stickers on it..... .......mabe..

[hcfr34]

Why not......it's ment for bashing!

[Nitrotc3drifter]

yeah, thats what i think i am gonna do, make a nice simple solid chamealion paintjob it'll get banged around a alot with my excelent driving skills and all...LOL!... anyway if i do that it still will look good and be really simple too. now to get the body and paint i'll be set to go

[hcfr34]

There ya go

pics will be up soon after it is completed

dont be scared to step out there with the shakers bro!! ive had pretty good luck:
this is an old nmt:

here's a nitro rush i use to have:

i did this for a friends rc10gt:

my o.g. savage .21:

and my most recent mammoth:

ive only used the store bought masks one time. and that was my first body up top, the green one. after that i realized i could make my own. the blue savage body, has a flaming skull on the side that i downloaded from RCXotic.com and on the hood is from a pic of my tattoo. printed it out on sticker paper from walmart, cut it with an xacto knife and boom, done. only problem i had was the sticker lifted a little when the paint wet it. then i got the idea of using masking tape. so went out and bought the widest that they make from lowes. laid a strip down on a cutting board, and went to work. thats how i did the racing stripe on the orange rush. then i did the same thing on the stars and stripes. except i fastened 2 xacto blades on either side of a 3/4 inch piece of wood, and then waved it back and forth to create the waving flag look. the stars are a store bought thing though. real cheap, they were meant for an airplane wing!! and the mammoth body, i just tore the masking tape to create a soft jagged edge, to simulate the color change on a KILLER BEE!! not a bumble bee! anyways you get my point. good luck!

[Nitrotc3drifter]

yeah, i know, i did my mini-t bod with cans:

but i think it will look nice simple, so i am gonna do it simple
