Body painting question

[DavidB1126]

Painting up the buggy and mini b bodys. Is it ok so not do the white or black base cover coat? I ran out of white cover coat. So just wondering. I did kinda rush on the bodies and got some over spray but not a big deal I'll call it as a design feature. Later down the road for the buggy I'll get a new body and wing and take my time on it.

You don't have to use an undercoat, but it adds protection as well as a finished look.

Maybe for my next body, get a pro body painter and use the actual liquid paints and air brush? Add some cool designs.

Not the best but came out good.

After stickers. Didn't put any stickers on the mini b body since it is so small.

Turned out pretty good

Each sticker adds about 20 horsepower!

When I paint, I do white then silver so black doesn't bleed through. I then shoot black to hide all the other colors. On my crawlers I do that, then paint the inner area around windows an interior color of the 1:1.

The silver prevent black bleeding to lighter colors.

As for airbrush, most rc paint is washable. If you mess up wash it again and retry. If you airbrush, use a can to seal it when done.
