It was damn easy I just did a fade, next time I might try a more complicated pattern. For those of you that are still riding with a factory lid get off your arse and paint your own, it's E-Z

Nice job! It is E-Z I don't know why people drive pre painted ones got to have your own style.
 
very nice job...ill try one one of these days..I've got an air brush.but then again imbroken does such a nice job..ill probley stick with his..
 
Excellent start. Sometimes simple is nicer. And you're right, it's always cool to drive your own body work. Me? I use my prepainted Maxx shell whenever I'm going to be doing anything insane so I don't totally bust up one of my custom jobs....
 
Yup MCvickj, just used a can. You can't really see them in that picture but there are red stripes on the sides. I masked them off and then used a paint marker to fill them in. I would have used the red spray can but I think it would have tinted the yellow and made it orangy
 
same buggy, another angle...

I notice your body has Novarossi stickers on it...i'm assuming that you have novarossi engine in it....anyway how fast is it with a novarossi?? Looks very very nice!
 
Looks awesome! Nice job. Did you use a rattle can, or did you airbrush it?
 
I like it. Nice job.
 
AC48 It's a Nova BX 21 SBK. It's very fast, lots of low end power. Does anyone here have experience with this engine? I am wondering what the best operating temp for it is. It is a short stroke engine.

Thanks for all the compliments on the paint job, once again I just used a spray can and did a fade, it's the simplest thing to do and it was kind of fun so I dont want to see anymore stock bodys on the track! :flamer:
 
That looks a lot like a friend of mine's sto- hey wait, you ARE that friend of mine.

Nice aluminum arms =) I gotta get me a set of those... ohh wait..
