Team17 asked me to paint a body for him with a detailed picture of what he wanted.
The color combo was basically the same.
Ed, If you don't like it, send me a PM.
The pics came out a little dark.
It's lighter in person.

Looks good! Hey, can you paint one up for me as well? I want 38DD's on the hood of mine for headlights. I'm not kidding either! Maybe it'll distract the other drivers enough to keep from hitting me.
 
Instead of head lights you want head nipples??
 
Rob,

I love it! Seriously! Looks great! I guess I'll go to your house this week.

that's sweet Ratzo! Are those flames hand drawn?

It's a paint mask made by XXX main.
They may as well be hand drawn.
What a pain in the ass to trim and outline.
But the end result is worth it in my opinion.
 
What do you guys use to get such straight and even out lines?
Looks great, i like the colors.
 
Yeah, the dark pics is making my imagination see like, some gold-leaf flamework or something. The small flames look good.

I was wondering this too. Looks awesome! Some of the coolest flames I've seen on a rc yet. Very cool.
 
Hey RATZO can you clean out your OM box please.

How did you get such a smooth and even tracing line around the flames on TEAM 17"s new lid?
 
Double post. Sorry
Look below

WTF is an OM box?

Anyway, the mask came that way.
You paint your main color, then in this case, I peeled the thin trim lines away from the flames and painted them chrome.
Then peeled the main flame mask off and painted the rest.
By the way, the body is trimmed, cut, and has the decals on it.
Come and get it ED!

PM sorry.
That last pic looks insane! Does the paint job a whole lot , more justice.
 
I have an room for another 178 pm's before its full.
Thats odd.

Thanks for the props on the paint job.
The main color in the back and on top was a blend of Spazstiks purple backed with blue.
You have to see this color blend in the sun to appreciate it.
The front was indy silver blended into candy blue with candy grape tips on the flames.
The trim was chrome and the rest of the hood was candy purple.
