Tried painting my first body today. It’s far from perfect but I’m pretty happy with how it came out. Any input is appreciated, don’t be to critical now….

Still have to cut and paint the light buckets.

I agree looks flawless. Great job. Reminds me of tge nickelodeon splatts.
It’s got some flaws but I’m definitely happy and excited about it! I appreciate it. Honestly, I was just trying to match color scheme with my logo and it happened to work out that way😆👌

That's pretty sweet!

Considering I've done 2 bodies in the last 9 months or so. 2 different vehicles. And they're like so-so, meh, if you will.

1) The nozzle was pretty much broken out of the box. And not the right color. If you're standing on the track stand, you can't tell. (RC10T)
2) Just not the right colors. I mean, it'll work, but....Bah. Back to the drawing board. New colors ordered (1/12 CRC carpet knife)

What brand of paints did you use?
