my first paint job

[Mattyfats420]

ok heres the finished product, cut and mounted. hope you all like!

i think it looks pretty good for my first lid. i kinda wish i did something a little worse cuz now i feel bad going out and bashing with it lol
but here it is for all your viewing pleasure!!

You already know what to expect. I was about to say that your first rollover is VERY traumatic. You'll cringe, and every muscle in your body will tighten up.
After that first one, you can pick up the speed. It won't matter any more. Just be proud of it and go run it.

 

[Candyman]

OOhh, I couldn't agree with that more. I now have 5 lids for the Savage, and I haven't even started it yet. The painting becomes a real passion, and each lid has more that the previous one.

Then you're totally screwed. Because I can't imagine what you'll have to do to outdo the Ugly Truckling.

Great job, man! You'll have to help me with my RC18 body with your mad skilz. Can't wait to see it running this Saturday (should be able to invite you... We aren't doing anything that day)

 

[Mattyfats420]

great man sounds good. let me know when it gets closer to the end of the week. my truck is up and ready for some bashing!!

and thanks everyone that said something good about my first RC paint job. I'm sure there will be more to come!

 

[Lessen]

That's turned out really nice man. I especially like it with the black wheels :thumbup:

 

[Cupooterluvr]

If you look close enough in the pictures it looks like the blue has kind of an "arctic camo" look to it.

 

[nitrogator]

looks good matt.

 

[chelseafc385]

that looks brilliant on the car! i like the wheels.

 

[Mattyfats420]

i got kind of a different effect with the blue by making it darker in some areas and lighter in others. i used pectra pearlescent blue but it came out like a blue candy. and the wheels are maxximizer beadlocks. black in the front and blue in the back. its adds a great touch to the black and blue scheme i was going for with the truck. now the body is the icing on the cake!

 

[Cam]

looks good. Nice job

 

[CharliesTheMan]

I thought the back wheels looked blue in the picture, nice tough. Are those Imex Swamp dogs on there?

 

[Mattyfats420]

yeah swamps on the back pinns on the front

 

[Racer 1966]

Man what a sorry ass crappy paint job. I can't believe anyone would put that on their r/c!


























JUST KIDDING!!! Actually, I like it. A good job for your first one! :thumbup:

 

[mustang_girl]

[Mattyfats420]

Girls always love stars for some reason. i can't even tell you how many girls i know with at least one star tattooed on there body.

 

[billym9]
