Last project for a while.

[Candyman]

Well, this one will be my last for a few months. No new shells to attack at this point unless I get some requests. I'll probably let my stuff sit until I get my Mini-T and see if there are bods for that offered soon.

Anyway, this is a Pro-Line Ford F-350 T-Maxx body. It is primarily Pearl White. I did put a fine haze of Fasflip Jade on it, but you can't really see it. The tribal graphics are a fade of Fasescent purple-->Fasescent Blue-->Faspearl Green. The tiger is a custom mix of FasOrange and Createx Pearl Copper. This is also my first shell done using Bob Dively Liquid Mask which is just the coolest stuff. Once you get a good coat on the shell, it's so easy to cut and create the coolest styles. Hope you like it:

Nice Paint Job Candyman !Those are sweet graphics.I wish i could paint that good !

 

[GilBeQuick]

That tiger is saaaaaaaaweet. Did you freehand it?

 

[funwheels1]

very nice it makes me want to :juggle: ! haha no but seriously...I have never really seen pearl white and i am loving it. Good luck with ur new cars and...Go get that truck durdy! However, idk....that bodys so damn sweet maybe u should get the chassis and leave the bod clean :idea:

 

[Candyman]

Did I freehand the tiger? Oh hell no. I can paint, but I can't draw to save my life. No, I just surfed the net and found some kickass graphics. Actually, the tribals on the side and hood are from rcexotic.com.

And that chassis is dirty! Look at the back and side view. There's still fair amount of dirt from my last bash. I blew off as much as I could, but there's still a lot. A complete strip and clean will be my winter project..

Another nice lid CandyMan. Do you have a link to the graphics you used? They might make for some cool decals.

Awsome job Candyman! I'm not familiar with Bob Dively Liquid Mask. Can you tell us more?

 

[Candyman]

Bob Dively Liquid Mask is basically this thick, gooey stuff that you coat the underside of the body with. First, you apply your window masks. Then you spray 2-3 heavy coats of the liquid mask on the entire inside of the body. Then you have to let it dry thoroughly. It will turn to like a latex. Once it's dry, you just use a #11 X-acto and lightly cut your design into the mask. Peel off the areas you want to paint and then go at it. Much easier than masking tape, usually. It gives great edges and is easy to use. Just take your time when peeling the mask off and you should be fine...

I'll check it out on my next trip to the lhs. I like the effects that you've created and I've two more bodies to do.
Thanks Candyman.

Hey Candyman, great lid man... Did you say "Spray it on"? I've used the Bob Dively mask, but I had to brush about 4 coats of the stuff on. What a pain in the.... Spray on, would be awesome...
Let me know, or send a link to the stuff...
