well on my day off today i went to als picked up a lst racer body and some paint...and this is what i got...im still not done but almost..









and this pics make it look worse than it is also..

it looks pretty good though

not bad bro, fade the blue first next time, dark to light and u wont get that discoloration...good for a first try really

i did fade the blue first....it looks alot better in person

what kinda blue is it, whats the name, it looks like u went on a little heavy in some spots but ull get it

Looks good. I know it is better than what mine would look like if I tried to airbrush something...

i used testors candy blue and testors rally green...yea the blue i noticed i didnt do so good on but after i put it on i relized the blue was trans-parent so i put testors sprint white behind it do ritchen the color..also the airbrush was having some small nozel problems during the blue..

use the faskolor water base stuff ur life will be much easier

i was looking into that but the testors just was thier...lol...with that waterbase stuff do u have to add anything to it or its ready to use?

nope it is ready to use, a drop or two of water goes along way to thin the paint if u really have to, I have not had to at all thus far...with waterbase u have to back it to make it fuel proof, this is the only downside, but a can of sprint white from pactra or a can of rustoleum crystal clear enamel will make everything fuel proof

now do i need to back this paint that i used? to make it fuel proof?

no u shouldnt have to, it is not water based, just try scratching off a small section like in a wheel well to see how easily it comes off, but it never hurts to back them

looks good nice work

great job man, i really like the colors!

yea i stopped at als and got some cover coat stuff that is saposed to make it fuel proof...

thanks everyone the next body should be better...

that looks really good, i just think the blue faded a little too quickly

but that 'll look great on your rig! nice work for ur first attempt
