Crawler Canyon Presents: Daphne Redux, aka Painting a Patina 

"I'm seasoning this jconcepts creeper" laughed out loud. Parenting the kids here enjoying the hobby vicariously through your videos! Have a great day.

Wow. This paint job turned out amazing... So glad you busted it out for us.

Finally had a chance to this all the way thru! Daphne looking pretty sexy in her new patina!! Great job on the paint and weathering! Suits her perfectly!

Wow we got a feature length today! Really impressed and the body looks awesome! I followed the similar 5 foot mantra when I was painting my Class1 Mojave body with the airbrush and doing the vintage looking SR5 stripes. Spent all this time masking perfect lines and what happens? My mask pulls up paint in a couple spots. I reminded myself of its 5 footer status and pushed the paint back down. For good measure, I then painted several more coats of clear. When it comes off next time, at least it will be from rock rash 😂. I think this would be a good candidate for a torch patinaed, wooden flat bed. Hopefully it can be lightweight because it looks like Daphne is pulling some crazy lines on those rocks now. It also looks pretty rad as a cab only

Looking forward to watching this after work, but after a quick skip through it looks awesome mate. Killer job. Cheers 👍

You have summed up my feelings on painting exactly. 😆

Awesome patina job

Doc,that looks fantastic! And Daphne’s chassis is superb. Beefy and well thought. I’m thinking she’s perfect in her current state.

this new look on her is very nice - and the whole Trugy change/outrunner - just topped it off - NICE

it came out awesome,great paint job

Really good job I am impressed I hate the pain anything and you did a good job

Love it I knew if you did a rustic body you would take it over the top and that's just what you did sir very nice work yours turned out much better than my first attempt. Another amazing video as always

Very good result, I'm inspired!

Great job

Oh I have seen them all

Being a wood guy what about creating a wood piece to fit between the c channel in the rear to serve as frame support and wood bed…stain / weather as needed to match body.

RU-vid gold.

The Copperhead out of the Ryft or your old Micro X would give you much smoother starts.

Sweet 👌

Very Cool paint work👍 but I won't cut the tail off. Take some popsicle sticks and make u a wooden flatbed

I love the way you can take a rig you've had for so long, and make it so much better, and get so much more enjoyment out of it. I'm working on the same type of paint job for a VW van body I'm working on, and I think yours turned out great! Maybe a fuel cell, or just a flat bed to finish it out. Also, how's the descents?

Before i watch the vid beautiful day huh

looks awesome!!! As for any noise out of the outrunner, I recently put the new holmes hobbies V2 crawlmaster mini esc with his v3 revolver and its silent, only hear the gear box. I do see they're out of stock again tho...but potentially future option.

I'd bolt a scale looking fuel cell in the back instead of cutting it off

camera picks up the high pitch wine just fine as it is annoying me. the rear stick out is very long but also kept it from rolling backwards, so maybe a little wood deck between the towers to look better.
