Rattle cans or airbrush?

Spaz stix, tamiya, proline, duratrax and traxxas all make paint. I've used pactra, spazstix, tamiya, fascolor and a few I am forgetting.

You have an ai compressor?

I do have an air compressor.

I do have an air compressor.

Paashe vl $50, or even cheap harbor freight airbrush for $20 can get you started if you have a regulator and are interested.

I like to use airbrush, then back it in can as airvrush is usually water base.

If this is your first body, unless a crawler, paint the inside first using dark to light if possible. I back with silver then black for a clean finish under. I sometimes paint dark after light after I paint white then silver then my dark. Silver usually prevents the darker color showing inside the lighter.

Master airbrush from amazon. They are probably the nicest cheap airbrushes.

With airbrush paints, you get a LOT more color choices. I use Parma Faskolor and Createx, which are both acrylics, and can be sprayed inside, no worries. Too damn cold to paint outside right now.

I have the Master airbrush set with three airbrushes; I like it. I haven't used it on RC cars but I use it a lot on my train build.

This is one if the ones I have

The best neon I've used personally is spaz stix I did a neon pink cuda no prep body. It looks amazing

I'm really happy with the Tamiya florescent yellow and orange I just did on my new Toyota GT one for my Limitless. I'm not sure on the florescent colors from spaz stix but the other colors from them are great also.

Thanks for the responses! I will have to save up some money for a while to get the airbrush and paints since I don’t have all of the money, and I’m not old enough for a job yet…

Why airbrush? I just used the rattle cans on mine and my other body's I've done and as long as you take your time and prep the body good it should turn out just fine. This is what I used https://www.amainhobbies.com/tamiya-ps7-orange-lexan-spray-paint-100ml-tam86007/p-qqqet2eq6b2xactz

It looks a different color but it is very much pink and it was done with rattle cans. It can be done very well if using a little patience

Why airbrush?

A few reasons I switched to airbrush...
A lot more paint color and effect choices.
A lot easier to do finer detail painting.
I wanted to learn how to do flames, scallops, etc.
Much easier to use indoors in the winter time.
No fumes and very, very minimal overspray.
Can spray liquid mask.
Paint is sometimes a lot cheaper.
Can mix colors to get the exact color you want.

It looks very red, I’m trying to get a pink like on the Kyosho Raider ARR.

 

[WickedFog]

A touch of white added to Createx florescent pink would be the color.

 

[Kimmie28]

This is the actual pink it looks like

That matches almost perfectly, the Raider’s pink is much more pink in real life. It doesn’t have to match, it just needs to be neon.
