Brilliant job.
Thank you! Hope there were some helpful hints in there!
Awesome vid, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Found some very helpful tips. New to using liquid mask so didn’t realize the thicker coating would help better. Also love the clean cut lines with the razor knife. Things to try out on my next body paint
Yeah, a lot of upside to the liquid mask. Good luck!
“Express themselves through their body” hmm okay.
You know it!
I like the liquid mask idea. If not using liquid mask how do you feel about using flat clear to seal masking tape lines before spraying the first color on the car. My understanding is it seals the tapes edges and if it did bleed it cannot be seen.
Yes! You can do that. It only needs a very light coat to achieve it. I’ve used this method before.
Thank you for sharing! New to this so learning everything I can. May I ask what you wiped the body down with before you sprayed the whole body?
If you’re asking what I cleaned it with, that was just water with a very tiny bit (like a couple drops in several cups of water) of dish soap.
Have you ever had issues with the Tamiya PS paints reacting with the liquid mask? I’m curious as it says on the bittydesigns not to use with spray cans but you look like you’ve had great results using the PS sprays and I’d like to follow your steps and do the same, cheers 🍻
Stick to the light coats. You should be safe. I’ve never had issues with the Tamiya PS paints and the liquid mask. Good luck!
Awesome! Thanks for the reply, it doesn’t specifically say on their website that it’s Tamiya paints they aren’t compatible with just says “spray paints” in general but good to know, thanks!
Indeed great tutorial, and useful tips. Instantly wanted to try it myself :)
Seems like a promising new channel. Good luck Rob!
Thanks for the positive vibes! Hope it helps someone!
In my opinion Kyosho Fazer MK line has the best body's around hands down......Then Tamiya. Best body's I've seen in a long time. If I could I would get a line of Kyosho body's.
The Kyosho ones are almost too good. I think they're better suited for drift cars since those don't get as destroyed as touring car racing.
I didn't know this stuff existed!! Dude thanks I just painted a Chevy Silverado for my losi 22s! Thank you!!! I'll do radical jobs now!! Oh my goodness!!! Following you good sir!!! From Georgia..
Nice! Glad I could introduce you to it!
Newcomer to RC here, and I'm days away from painting a Tamiya body. Already, within the first few minutes, you taught me something that I hadn't seen other videos discuss, so props.
Great to hear it! Hope this video helps. Good luck on the build and welcome to this addiction... I mean hobby.
Appreciate the video, I have only used vinyl masks, definitely makes me feel more confident giving it a go
Absolutely give it a shot!
Excellent video! I have a large bottle of liquid mask for over a year & never used it. I was too intimidated. Now that I saw your video, I am confident it is a great way to mask an RC body!
Totally easy to use. Just takes some patience for it to dry.
thanks for the video, i tried doing liquid mask yesterday and put 5 coats and did it to thin.
Yeah, I don’t think you need to be shy on each coat. No real downside.
Great informative video! Will be painting my first blank soon. Thanks for the all tips and tricks!
Let me know how it goes! Excited for you!
This was a very well put together tutorial. I’ve honestly always dreaded the painting part of the hobby. I simply am not very good at it. However, after watching what you just put together here, I am confident I can up my game significantly. There was a lot I was doing wrong, or simply didn’t even know. It’s funny, I am a luthier and woodworker, professionally, (amongst other fine skills…like being a watchmaker) and for some reason this particular skill has eluded me. I thrive on the minutiae. I just need to know what that is in this case, and now I do.
Is it correct that you are up in Indy? I am down in Bloomington. I’d love to pick your brain sometime about good places to drive…that’s probably better for a direct message though rather than a public message board on a you tube channel.
Anyway, thanks for making stuff like this. Makes me being a middle aged man that likes to STILL play with toys feel a lot better about it. Or, as one of my friends has once told me, they’re not toys, but, REFINED, HIGHLY ENGINEERED RACE CARS.
Kits are the best for the hobby in my opinion.
@@jessewoollen-danner3754 Find me over on Instagram, @quiet_rc, can DM there. Glad this tutorial helped you out!
Done
looking all professional just to make a paint job look like this lol
Thanks for checking it out and the comment! Every bit helps!
Awesome tutorial 👏👍
Thanks! I hope it helps somebody out there!
Why mask.then peel all off
I explain in the video
Thank you, Great video! Have to admit by the way you are dressed i thought i was at a Dr appointment.
You'll never hear me asking for you to turn your head and cough. I promise.
@quietrc Haha, Great and thorough information I really appreciate it!
Great video, thank you for sharing. I’m just getting into it and wonder what’s the best paint for lexan?
I discuss a few different options at the end of the video, but the short answer is: Tamiya’s PS line of spray cans.
@@quietrc thank you! Sorry I’m at work and haven’t seen the whole video
How do you find spraying rattle cans on liquid mask ? I find they react with each other and ruins the liquid mask
I have never had an issue with any of the paints I've used ruining the liquid mask. Rattle can or otherwise. I wonder if it is an issue with how thick the liquid mask is? As you can see in the video, I put on a pretty liberal amount!
@@quietrc on the bitty bottle it does say water based paint .. but as you say you might have been lucky due to the thickness of mask .. good tutorial video dude
Appreciate the good vibes. Hope to continue to provide more for everyone!
poles is it a preference of yours or you just don´t like magnets?
Magnets won't be enough to keep the body on when racing. Especially with my driving style... which involves hitting the wall quite a bit!

Ever tried Liquitex for the masking? Curious if it's the same product only cheaper..thanks
I've never used Liquitex. However, the BittyDesign liquid mask is water-based vs. the Liquitex being latex based. If that matters to you.
Just comparing the 4oz Liquitex on the Liquitex site and the 16oz BittyDesign on Amain, the BittyDesign is about 1/2 the cost on a per-ounce basis.
Thank you 👍
You are welcome!

This video is bad. Why edit out the most important parts!
Sorry! Your mom wouldn't sign the release so I had to cut her parts out! Thanks for checking out the vid!
Why does proline paint not stick well. Come off super easy will not last long at all
I have not experienced an issue with ProLine coming off. Not sure what your prep methods are.
Great video ! And I’ve had same issue with proline. Wash the body in warm water and dish soap and then paint. The proline stuff scratches off inside very easy. Say it rubs against a part of car when putting body on/off, it will scratch the paint off with it.
