That's so lovely! It works really well with the orange and the neon yellow, very cool scheme, this! I have lots of bottles of orange lying around, but for some reason I haven't had the courage to use them much, he he... I definitely need to paint more this winter, so I'm happy you got lots of paint videos, buddy!
@@madsrcbuggy lol ! Thanks those neon colors can be a little tricky especially in large areas . Start small with some stripes or scrap lexan to get the feel for it . Light coats and dry between layers and back with white .
@ I’m thinking next year I’ll get in to air brush painting just plucked out a new air brush kit I have the air compressor to do it I just need to stock up on my paints and yea it’ll definitely turn heads.
@ that’s very true I’ll have to get some body painting videos on my channel soon I have a plan to do a iridescent purple and green with yellow water drips think it’ll turn out pretty good I all ready ordered the painting masks so I’m just waiting on the body and paint even if it’s just spray cans will work for now thanks man.
@@markthomas4372 I’m not sure why I haven’t thought of this sooner . We use a colorless base in the automotive world as a wet bed for the same reason . Thanks !
Love love love it! Grand Slam with that one! Do those bodies come pre cut for the wheels? Reason I was asking is would theses bodies fit a 1/12th scale pan car? I know the have a super long wheel base?
@@whizwhisnant I figured that was the case just relabeled. I’ve been using Parma since it came out in the late 90’s . The formula with the black changed one time years ago and almost drove me to quit painting lol ! Pactra came out with a water base around 99 and it was garbage .
I absolutely love seeing you work! But I need to get to work on mine lol. Are you spraying a pain that's for polycarbonate bodies only? Thank you and I appreciate you keeping old school alive!
@@justinmurphy2227 Thank you ! The Createx paint is their standard airbrush paint . Works great on polycarbonate. I also use some Spaz Stix and various polycarbonate spray paint like Tamiya PS and Traxxas .
@Okpaintguy2 well okay that's good to know that I don't have to buy special paint. I'm sure there's reasons for it. I've been told that normal acrylic paint won't flex and it'll flake off if the body gets hit. So thank you!
Great work! That truly is a form of art and you are awesome at it! What set up do you use for your air brushing? I went all out and bought everything i thought i needed to get started and either i suck or my setup and equipment sucks. I have teied several time to paint bodies just a simple solid color and the finish results sucked so bad
@@Nerm78 Thanks ! I’m using an Iwata HPC air brush and I’m running off of shop air . I’ve got a 5hp 60 gallon in my shop . Any small compressor should work fine . I have a 2hp 2gal from Lowes I use if I go on location to paint .
Oh my god!!! How do I get the Coors Thunderbird Bird from you??? I don't even own the kit, but if getting that body is possible, I will! 2 , one for the self and the other for trading paint.
@@Paul__FC Thanks I appreciate it !I’m not currently taking any side work . I just don’t have much free time these days . Check out Carpy’s Print company. They are making some cool wraps for these cars .

Just found your channel, and the beginning of this video showed your RC10 and Optima boxes. Instantly knew it was going to be good. Great video.

Good job, looks very nice! Liked and subscribed 👍
Awesome ! Thank you .
@Okpaintguy2 you're welcome, nice channel, good work 👍
Very nice job on that body!
@@RCREVEALED Thank you !
I think it turned out pretty good I hope you do more body shell painting videos I like to see how people paint there body shells.
@@GearWorksRc Thanks ! I will definitely be doing more paint videos . Check out the play list , I’ve got several on there now .

@ keep at it . Only way to really learn is to do it and try different techniques .

I've used transparent base to the same effect.

@@rsrdevon yeah good and bad that they come pre cut and pre drilled for the Losi chassis . So no luck using one on an actual pan car .
Proline and Parma are made by Createx, I had one of the paint reps tell me that via TH-cam comment a year or so ago on the Createx TH-cam channel.

Very interesting. Do those Losi 1/12 Nascar bodies come predrilled mount holes.
Yes they are ready to go . Good if you have a Losi but not so good if you want to put it on something else .
You do really nice work! Great job!

What was the font you picked for the windshield name? I have yet to find an appropriate replacement
On the orange body I used the supplied decals that came with the body . On the 12 car it’s the font is impact
@@Okpaintguy2 Did some digging around, found it: NASCAR Officially uses a font called Stainless Black for the name banners.
Hey Greg, you may have been asked this a million times - What Cricut Machine do you use for decals?

Painting ours straight black with tamiya. Before i wash the body with dawn do i need to scuff the body inside to help the paint stick?
@@MudMonsterRacing4 scuffing a little doesn’t hurt. I do it sometimes but not all of the time. Tamiya paint sticks great .
