Pretty cool..But somebody on here tried the Krylon Fusion paints and wasn't happy w/ the results...
It looks allright, would look better with headlight stickers on it
all i got is some huge 10th headlights and i think it was satoch(i think) and it was results with a nitro soaked rag.

I thought you had a lot of success with duct tape and bodies in the past... LMAO

I like how the body looks, like the designs and the colors.
S T F U go pop rivit a body back together
its good but the lines looked messed up............hey did you air brush it??

looks good for your first time
I don't think he airbrushed krylon paint.

Blue and black don't go together good IMO. two dark colors against each other not good unless you have a silver or white outline around the design. Hey, what do i know though, I am not an artist.
Gabe, I have to add that some dark colors can be painted next to black and turn out ok, but royal blue is kind of a funky color anyway...the orange and blue body was all Pactra spraycans.

The little body in the foreground of this shot is one that most people comment one as "liking the best" when I show pictures of bodies I've painted.

Ranger, did you paint the flat black on the outside of the body, or the inside?

i air brushed the blue on. it worked like a charm
you should buy a bunch of bodys for that and start paintin them...........I hear theyre like $2 a peice........nice and cheap
where are they 2 bucks a piece? and do the have extended bodies?
The ones TT is talking about are mini-t bodies, not your IBS.
I thought they were the same
Ya thought wrong... He's got an itsy bitsy spider (such a ghey name right?) and the mini-t is completely different.
the stock IBS is basicaly the same as a mini-t body. but i have an extended chassis so.......
I still don't like ANY dark colors right next to another dark color, just personal preference.

Light against dark or at least a light outline separating the two.
Mini bodies are now $3 from Stormer Hobbies, but that is still cheap practice stock, even if you don't have a Mini T you can sell them after you paint them. I have sold three practice jobs on eBay, and one to a member here.
