In the original "Cars" movie, Mater was light blue. By the time Lightning had met him, he was mostly rust.

I decided to do a new farm truck type deal with a 1954 Chevy Task Force, to go on my Stampede. Used copper paint for the bed, mater blue for the body, and has regular lights, head, turn, tail, with 90 degree angled exhausts. Only special light is an amber revolver inside the cab, triggered by...

My 2nd import build, I needed a 4 wheel drive for my Rustler 4X4. I only have this and the Lancer Evo for now to use on that rig. I modeled the paint and bodywork after a a car I finished "Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero" with. I added to it over sized "too big to read" letters and shooting stars. It...

I played most of the game "Need for Speed Rivals" driving a 2010 Camaro undercover cop. It could sneak up on racers without alerting them, then, on come the lights and sirens, and it's on! I built 2 of them, because the 1st attempt was when I was new at this, and made a lot of mistakes...

I was thinking of doing a 58 Fury someday. Nah, it's cool, we can wing post old schools, friend.

Without clicking that link, I would guess that is a McCallister Racing 50's Bomber. I did do a McCallister, because I needed an IROC Z, but I was talking about my Willys. I have plenty more old schools to post.

My latest creation to date, the Willy's Pro Mod. It was love at first sight, I was at the hobby shop looking for bodies that are of 4 wheel drive cars when I spotted this honey and instantly saw what it could be in my hands. Didn't need any more rear wheel drivers, but couldn't put it down...

The paint and striping was inspired by an 'Evo I saw on Need for Speed Most Wanted. I returned the 1st can of paint I got, too drab, I wanted something brighter. All decals were stuck to the inside of the body shell, as always, with picture glue, and depict RC companies I have used parts from...

All decal stickers are applied from the inside. I like it this way for durability and the ability to wax the body. The colour came out of a 3oz can, Tamiya, I think

Maybe use liquid mask, and drop it onto the body surface, then after painting main color, get just the right tinge of colour. Be sure to practice on a scrap piece of lexan and write down the results, example = 3 coats red, 1 coat white, 1 coat silver, that way you'll know exactly how to...

I was hoping, as I recall, for a "water balloon explosion" type splash, but the paint liquid just held too well. Settled for spots instead.

Maybe thin or reduce it a little for that opposite "Mack the Knife" look. I used Parma's Faskolor black. Comes in a dropper bottle that looks like it would contain finger paint, but it is polycarbonate/lexan paint. I'm just not sure how 1 spot of any other color is going to hold up against a...

I held the bottle and tried to splash it. Oh yeah, that's what I was going for, "splash". Didn't quite get what I wanted, the paint was flowing like syrup.

I had my new Stampede 4x4 VXL, and needed to make bodies for it. Picked up 3 truck bodies and got started on this one. Let's start with the paint. I picked out something I thought would be ridiculous, but seemed to fit right in : neon orange. I tried doing polka dot drops, but it came out kind...
