New body color/s and designs

[DavidB1126]

What should I do for my buggy body. I still got left over bright blue, and bright orange, almost still have a full can of sparkly silver, and new burgundy/ maroon color.
What designs/colors should I do?
I got burgundy because I need a different color, so we can tell me and my uncle's cars apart, since we used the same colors, only thing different is his is without silver, says Xray, and has blacked out windows.
Here was my job before.
I'm thinking about some splatter of silver around it, use burgundy as my main color, and maybe some blue / orange dots or splatter around. Idk.
Who makes rc body stencils for designs? Instead of using painters tape.

No, it really wasn't, Was following my uncles scheme with the blue front, and orange rear, but I decided to put silver in the middle. But my friends and the local racers said it was like bomb pops. Lol. Maybe I should change my name in LiveRC to bomp pop.

I kind like that you've kept the same look for all of your cars, makes it look like team colors.
Go team Bomb Pop!

You should send the company pics of your cars and just tell them how much you love their Bomb Pops. Maybe they'll be super flattered and send you a care package, or 2, as a thank you

maybe i should paint bodies to get care packs.

New colors should be M&Ms. Get a M&M care package.

When I was a kid I answered the question in the TV commercial -
"How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll Center of a Tootsie Pop?"
237

I wrote to Tootsie Pop and they sent me a whole bag of them!

Hopefully it was a Costco bag and not a dollar tree bag.

If the strategy is for free food, I would paint mine, surf and turf color. I would send pics to Ruth's Chris in the hopes that they send me ribeyes and lobsters

Masking is an art form. Never be in a hurry, it takes as long as it takes. Don't be afraid to redo it if you don't like it.

That and clean tape and a new blade. Looks great.

 

[Ramp addict]

No blades, nothing but scissors and tape. If you touch a body with a blade you'll make a split seam. I've had truck beds pop out during crashes before so I tape everything old school now.

The key to good paint jobs is to take your time masking it off and work the tape in good in the contours. Patience is the key to it all.
