Yeah, it is a really cool technique. He mentions something to the effect that the paint job is a trend. First I have seen of it though, but I love it. I would really love to see a Spiderman theme done in this style. Or how about a Batman theme with the big action balloons. And it would be easy to paste a comic book page on the outside to trace the design onto the inside of the body with paint. @bozo I have a challenge for ya bro 😉

Or maybe that's not tough enough for you.

Yeah it is. That Lumilor paint has actually been done on a couple RC cars, but the only place I ever saw them was on their Facebook page.

This is my favorite paintjob done with it.

I'm actually in the middle of a few of these types.
The Ryft body panels I did were sprayed gun metal, then I dabbed tin foil wadded up into the fresh paint to give it a marbled effect. Then sprayed with bright gun metal and repeated. I did 5 layers like this (3 gun metal, 2 bright), then backed with bright.

I love little paint tricks like this, so share em if ya got em.
 
Very cool technique and I agree, the color doesn't float my boat.
But, definitely can picture a black widow theme with red and black.
That would be awesome.
 
I like the trippyness of these colors. Traxxas bandit and probably my stampede.

Very cool. We did something similar in art class with crayons. Used a scraper to scrape the black crayon off.
