First time using Spaztix and it shows.

Haha thank you! I'm so glad. In hindsight I still wonder if I should have done the lightning yellow, but it is the pink thunderstorm she wanted so

I think its a great pink thunderstorm!
Best one I ever saw!!!

I'd be very happy if I managed that paint job myself!
Plus, so tiny!!!

Gosh yea. So so tiny! 1/10 scale has to go a lot easier right??

I do like painting the bodies with an airbrush though. 1000% better than rattle can

I aaaaaaalmost added an Iwata brush to my latest rc order. Maybe next time.

I doubt I'll get such nice results but I never will unless I try!

This paint job looks better without my glasses on

Dangit...WHY did I even search this?! and it's a hard body.

I may have a 4th body painting project again... eventually.

That one would look good in red.

Started peeling the last of the masking to prep for the pink tomorrow. View attachment 244227View attachment 244228

That is going to be a shockingly awesome paint job!

I love my Iwata airbrush.

I love my Iwata airbrush.

Which one do you have?
Everyone seems to love them.

I have an Eclipse for detail and a Revolution for large areas.

If I buy 2 of those brushes, Mrs Certified will tear my arms off.
Then I won't be able to use them.

Well, I did buy the Eclipse back in the late 90s. The Rev is newer. But I've been using the other one for thirty years!

I don't have an Iwata yet. It's one of those things where I already have two cheap Master brand airbrushes. They get the job done ok. Not great. But I ain't a great painter these days anyway, so I can't really justify getting one. I wish one of my current ones would hurry up and break though

But after years of watching the masters use them on YT, I have noticed nearly all of them use Iwata. So they gotta be awesome airbrushes.

 

[CertifiedMike]

I feel like... everyone says just buy the Hota, so I did.
I would prob be ok with another brush but I am confident now that I can not blame my crap paint jobs on faulty brushes once I'm thru buying.

Clearly it was crappy paint! Cheap lexan! Loose masking tape!!!

 

[aklindeman]

Back in the 90s the cheap airbrushes were terrible. Now they aren't

Yeah. I even had a Paasche that gave me trouble.

 

[OnwardGuinevere]

I love my iwata. Learning curve is quick with it too. It's one of those things we're buying the right equipment for it is key (regulator, good hose, good cleaning equipment, etc). It has performed great for me the past few years.

I’ve painted with Spazstix about a dozen times. It works and looks great if you follow their suggestions to a T. If you try to short cut or mix with other paints especially the chrome paints it doesn’t turn out as well. I’m gonna use colored chrome on an upcoming project and see how it turns out

Colored chrome sounds interesting. I haven't tried mixing their colors yet. I've been pleased with the coverage so far; though it seems it'll take a lot of paint to coat a 1/10 scale body.

 

[gragner66]

Their paint doesn’t go very far. Especially on larger bodies.

Simply spray a candy over or under the chrome, depending on whether you are spraying a lexan or hard body
