My first attempt completed...
So as I may have mentioned, I gave my step-son an HPI RS4 3 SS for Xmas along with a 65 Shelby body and classic kragar-type rims & wheels. We'll be painting the lid this weekend with my shiny new Iwata Revolution airbrush I just picked up today. I'll have to take it out and play with it to get comfortable with the airbrush and paint application to avoid runs & overspray. Any hints or tips on the Iwata?
I'll post pics as the process moves along. For some twisted reason he wants a bright almost neon green body with dark purple racing stripes. *sigh* Well it is his car now. I'll see if I can talk him into edging the stripes with some black highlights and/or do something to make this hideous combination of color choices look good.
I know the recommended process is dark to light for painting but am thinking it will be much easier masking the stripes out and doing the body color first. As long as we put enough coats down and back it we should be okay right?
