For this particular body I used a short (150mm), flexible ruler, and put my xacto up against that. However, that's easy with the flat sides and top of this particular body. Other times I will use some Tamiya thin masking tape for the straight lines and then liquid mask for the rest of the body. I'm still not great with the freehand cutting part. Someone like @mrcustompainting on Instagram does some insane stuff.
Overall, this came out spectacular! Really impressed with the paint work. I just love the different shades of gold. Great idea. The gold anodizing of the servo and esc is insane.. matches perfectly. I've used Bateman's for reanodizing an RC10 chassis. He does great work. What did you use again to strip the servo and esc? Enjoyed the video and keep up the great job with the channel.
Yeah, great experience Batemans. I'm glad I didn't really understand what I was getting into with the paint scheme, because once I was going, I realized it was a TON of steps. I used Purple Power to strip the anodizing. I've used it to strip chrome off plastic parts before, as well. You can get it at a Pep Boys, AutoZone, etc. Maybe Home Depot or Lowes as well. It helps to lightly scuff the anodize just to give the Purple Power something to start on.
That gold car is super nice. Nice build! I've noticed a lot of suspicious listings coming from Japan on ebay lately. I'm seeing a lot of multiple listings for the same exact car, etc.
You had me at quiet RC I was expecting the cliche LOUD INTRO thank you for not adding music whilst you talk (see my username) I clicked on your video because it had scammer in your title
Looks wicked, your painting skills are really good!! How do you get your lines so straight in the liquid mask?

@@quietrc Thanks. I'll have to mess around with that purple stuff at some as I'd like to strip an RC10 black chassis down. Thanks again.

I've called a few of those out and then see them get removed.

Hope my scammer story wasn't too boring! Thanks for checking me out, and, yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the music, either.
@@quietrc It was great I'll have to check out more videos when I get home tonight
