Just a few shots of my Micro RS4 body in progress.
Is hard to catch the true color. Its Florescent Candy Red. The body has a purple pearl to it in the sunlight.

I don't have my new chassis yet, The mounting holes change so I haven't drilled it yet.

Ill take some shots all mounted up, and post them.

Eddy, did you shoot it with Faskolor? Is that the Faschange coating with Candy Red back?
 
Its out of the bottle 3 coats and 2 white as a backing.
Ill get the color code for you if you want.

Its a cool color dark dark red with purple highlights
 
That's good stuff. I have used Faskolor for everything. And I like it. I just spoiled myself and bought 8 more colors this weekend. I was tempted to get the Candy Red but I got the Pear Red instead. I have 2 shells in the works. Plan to have them done within the next month. Gotta get that digicam so I can get the images up when they're done.
 
Every time I paint a body I learn something. One thing I learned is that Faskolor is great stuff.

What colors besides the normal ones have you tried and liked or disliked?

I think I'm going to try some of their metal-flake powder. From what I hear, its applied first mixed with the undercoat medium then a few coats of your color of choice. any experience with doing this?
 
I have a number of colors in my library and haven't had trouble with any. I was partial to Fasecent Purple for a while. Did 2 in that color. My Stratus in Fasescent Purple fade to FasBlack with FasWhite, FasYellow and FasOrange flames.

Next shell is using FasBlack, FasPearl Charcoal, Fasecent Yellow and a little FasPearl Blue. And after that, one for my brother that will be FasPearl White, FasPearl Blue, FasPearl Red and FasPearl Green. I expect them to go off without a hitch. Started the first one tonight and should have it done by the weekend......

Nice job...:D
I Just kind of fumble around while I do a body, I expect I will never reach the level that you have.

Any how, I have a lot of fun painting, and for me, thats the reward.

These little Micro bodys are small 1/18th scale its different than painting a 1/10th scale.

Please post more pics of your bodys. I like to see other peoples work.
