...Last night, and I really wanted to paint something cuz I just got a new set of "Auto Air" paint. I noticed how boring my white wing was, so I decided to take it to the lab. My body was chipping because of the crappy old paint that I sprayed on it a looong time ago. I rubbed it off with goo-gone and some q-tips, and sprayed the nose red, then masked off a part in the back and sprayed it red aswell.

For the wing prep, i sanded the surface so the paint would stick and so the scratches would be less noticeable. I sprayed a white base coat, and then a red coat. Then I put some RCNT decals on it (gotta represent :D) and colored them black and made an "8" mask and sharpied it in on the sides of the wing. I know its just gonna scrape off the second I put it on the track :LoL:, but i thought, what the hell might aswell brighten up my boring body.

Before, with fresh paint...

Definitely looks better red, but that #8 on it makes it look bad.

When I get bored something usually gets broken LOL.
