Need inspiration

[Cheetah928]

Hey RCT! Need help deciding what colors to paint the slash. I've left it clear for months and I think it's time to paint it and get it looking nice for summer. I'm probably going to do twin gt stripes down the middle, but I don't know what colors. I want a darker color for the main and I have no clue for the decals. Let me know if you have any other decal ideas!

Here's a photo of it now without paint. It's gonna get cleaned up and masked before anything.

These are cool.

Looking at 1:1 trucks is always good inspiration...

I’m partial to BittyDesigns stencils with a bold paint mask design. Check out their site. Here’s a sample.

Looked at the two links. Xxxmain isn't what I want, but I'll consider it. I've got the paints under controll, but I just don't know what paint colors I want.

Looked at the website, but it's a little hard to read since it's mostly Italian.

That's probably smart

I kind of like this one. I was thinking more of an idea than a pre painted body. Not bad for inspiration.

Definitely a race inspired look.

Since it looks like you removed the outer plastic, I would suggest saran wrapping the out side to prevent over spray.

Ooh smart. I had the piece that goes on the roof (roof spoiler?) But I lost it before I could put it on like an idiot. I'll bet somewhere there's just that piece. I chose this body because of the aerodynamics and the holes already cut so I wouldn't have to screw up one without it, and I could avoid catching a ton of air on jumps and screwing up the landing.

UPDATE! We're doing team gremlin garage. For those of you that don't know, it's a family thing we started about a year ago, and is a racing team for us. I'll somehow find custom stencils and still do the stripes. Gonna be a tight fit, but it will look great!
Anyone know a place that does custom things like that?
