My Simplified Patina Process for Custom RC Hard Bodies 

I love the tiny black spots all over. Looks like you would expect on a car that's been painted several times and then sat in a junkyard for 50 years!

3 coats Light Metal Grey, 2 light Coats Off White, then 2 coats there on of the Paint job History of Your Choice. Vary the Grit usage spiratically once it loiks knackered use an M3 buff Pad to blend the Grit varient and then use a Spray Bottle to apply dirty Water colour. Once dried keep Layering till the weathering is where Your at. Quick Buff pad again and then Matte Clear coat. Optional when the Clear coat is Tacky throw some Mixed Yellow, Red, and Multi Brown Pastel dust at it to give Live Dirt effect. Looks EPIC when done. Clear coat between Dusting Layers so if Ya like a Previous part and think youve wrecked it You can buff it out

Very helpful thank you.

Great video. Love the result. ❤️💯

Heck yeah, I’d buy the kit for the five window coupe 👍👍😎 well I’ll catch you on the next one until then peace and chicken grease 😁👍👍😎

Great technique. You can also add bubbling rust by sprinkling fine stone powder where rust would be bad like door corners and dabbing it with rust coloured paint.

Have you ever tried using Hairspray or Chipping Fluid? It would make the weathering a lot easier by requiring less sanding to break through the layers. You just black base it as usual then spray it with Chipping Fluid or Hairspray, then paint it as usual and when it's time to weather it lightly wet sand it, the water will help loosen the Chipping medium and reveal the layers. I really like this resin cast body, it's the trunk/rear quarter panels that make it. 👍👍

Yeah turned out beautiful dude as always, I really like the Coop body just don’t know what kind of chassis would work with Yep I’m here watching

That IS Bob Ross ! Did you say that was printed? I used this technique years ago, but since the invention of the interweb, literally 5000 ways to weathering, so confusing thank you for reminding me of how this should be done, and just about the same in real life, From Ocala Florida

All I want to know is that Bob Ross in the corner, and when will he start painting happy trees and happy mountains?? Nice work!

I actually mean "Off" white. Years ago Pure White was concidered a Premium Color for finish so it was More of a Creamy White Primer.

It looks super good. 1 of the best yet

Looks great 🎉

That came out pretty good!.

Looks good..

That looks incredible, as always! Will your kits eventually be cast as well?

would those weathering/rust wash colors work over a matte black finish? i have an Element Enduro with the scratch n wear finish (matte black w brick red underneath), but i would like to put more effort into it instead of just sanding off the black. thanks for any help!

Would you recommend this same process on a factory Marlin Crawler body? I’m bored with the red body.

Will this body fit on your shorty kit thanks

Great video man!! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at a patina body and this technique seems like a great place to start! 🦾🦾🦾
