Well I'm a little late to the party, but it's a hell of a lot easier to tape off the windshield, and the windows, if you just stick the sticker one inside backwards... Like way easier...
Awesome job, love the colours and patterns. Only one suggestion - you can bypass the manual work of creating the masks for the windows and rear skylight, by simply using the stickers that Traxxas gives you as masks. This worked for me and saved time.
Thank you for the kind words. It is just about time to paint another one. I'm putting together a Tamiya Dynahead, it will be interesting how it turns out. 😀👍👍
You know what, this was a damn cool idea, and the execution with that color scheme is badass. I love this paint job. I'm no enthusiast by any means, but I think this is the best looking RC car body I have ever seen. Nice work! Thank you for sharing
Thank you for the positive feedback. As with all things, I could have cut back on a few of the colors, but it all worked out, and I think it looks good. Thanks for watching. 👍👍👍😃
Hi there, looks amazing, can you give me an advice to prevent chipping ? I’ve made my x Maxx body and after some crashes it chipped out completely... many thanks in advance
I do not have any tips on completely stopping chipping, but there are a few things to do during the whole process to help prevent it. 1st scrub it well with soap and water with a scotch bright scrubbing pad. 2nd make sure it's rinsed thoroughly 3rd use a good paint for polycarbonate bodies, not your standard spray paint from harbor freight. Tamiya or an equivalent works well 4th use alot of light coats not one thick coat. And try to keep paint build up to a minimum.
I had fun with RC cars when I was younger and I have been wanting to get caught up on the sport. Two cars came up for sale (from my nephew) and I pounced on them. I'm not regretting it at all.
