I finished building the truck and breaking in the motor. I got a little more to do on the body, but i thought Id show some pictures to see what u guys think of my first air brush paint job. I had to copy the box on this one for the idea, but it has my own twist. So??Whacha Think??

Be Easy

I'd say for your first time....pretty damn good!

Wow that is nice!

looks good to me

I would say it looks very good. Nothing wrong with getting good ideas from other works of art. If I could I would copy Bodz or Franksbodies, but I am just going to start simple.

Did you use liquid mask? I think I see the bottle in the background? What type of airbrush do you use? I'm ready to buyone.

Nice work Kevin

Looks great Kevin! :drool:

Thanks guys for the nice words. I need a fast looking paint job to help make up for my slow driving. :o
Davec- Yep thats a big bottle of mask. I brush that on 3 coats, draw it out with a sharpie, cut with #2 exacto. I still have the mask on the windows till i put another coat of blue, then lots of sealer to help stop the paint from scratching off.
Heres a link to the setup i got

Thanks again for the compliments

If you read XtremeRC Cars magazine check out the October issue (with orange HPI car on cover) page 159, top picture, truck #6 !!! But your's looks better!

That looks like a great airbrush combo. I wish I could budget that now and never have to upgrade, but I'll prolly get a simple (cheaper) one to start.

All done. Here it s in all its glory. 13 Hours before i trash it with my first race with it.

Damn..... I can only imagine how good you bodies will get after a little practice. That body is killer dude

Thanks...Remenber the savage I did? It was red and black crowd pleaser. Had it at Leisure Hours 1 time. This one is a big improvement. Just took my time amd chilled.

bodies are all about patience!

Body came out awesome Kevin
