My rattle can NSX

[NCNitro]

Well I had a few old rattle cans of pactra paint left over from before I got an airbrush. So I decided to use em up to paint my HPI NSX body and this is what I got...

Reminds me of the veilside RX7.

Clean job Man!!!

Jon2 thats where I originally got the idea from. I really liked the look of the veilside, and just kinda went along those lines.

Zandor, I pretty much did most of the cutting especially on the smaller pieces before I put the tape on the body. I used a piece of glass from an 8x10 frame to cut the tape on, then just applied it to the body. I did very minimal cutting of the tape once it was on the body.

:idea: :idea: thanks for the input.. I just painted my first today but now with your method I think I can do alot more with with your way then just staying with a mask...

Thats a good looking job. I end up using all those spray-cans laying around for the last color/sealer coat.

Thats funny I came across the today I used the exact same method last night with my T-Maxx body. I had tape everywhere by the time I was done my baby daughter she is 1 1/2 was helping me lol, I was taking tape out of her hair the couch just about everywhere, I guess she thought we where painting everything lol. That is a sweet paint job NCNitro nice work!!!

I like it, NC. Cutting the mask on glass would also make it a lot easier to do flames.
What I really like is the two-tone with the aluminum on the rear spoiler. Nice touch.

Sweet body, simple yet complex!

 

[NCNitro]

Thanks for the compliments guys. Rolex, that aluminum look on the spoiler is one of my favorite ways to paint spoilers. I just paint the entire spoiler using Pactra Indy Silver in a spray can, not just the bottom side. When it dries it looks like aluminum, I really like the look of it, and this way the spoiler does not have one shiny side and one dull side.

Jesse, my 4 year old son likes to "help" too. I just gave him my old original T-Maxx body so when I paint he paints on his, and when I mask he masks his as well as the table, counter, couch, dog, or anything else in the way, lol. When I decal my bodies he has to decal his, he must have 200 stickers on that body by now.
