Paint services for artistically challenged?

[BuggyBRO]

New to the hobby. Have no interest in trying to paint some of these sweet designs yall do on the bodies. Is there anyone who can recommend a service that i can just pay to have it done? Really like neon yellow and metallic blue together. I may try my hand at something simple but some of yall are just so darn creative and sometimes you just have to know your limitations. Any suggestions?

Do you have a fakebook acct? These are the guys I typically recommend when asked..

I'm not trying to say you can bang out one of these fancy fakebook paint jobs but with a rattle can or 2, you can 100% get decent results and save some money too.
Painting is a bit intimidating but its really not that hard.
Its all in the prep work.

I'd hate to see one of those pretty paint jobs get all mangled on a bad crash.

I didn't think I could paint until I tried too. I'm no artist, no guru but all my cars are 10's!

At 10+ mph and 10 meters away, my cars look pretty good!

Its good to have a body or 2 that you won't feel terrible about trashing as well as that fancy one for shelf show and shine days.

There are tons of vids on youtube if you ever get the itch to try it.

Good luck!
Let us know what you decide and def post pics!!!

10 out 10! Mike, that was funny.

If you have a local hobby shop check with them too, they may offer the service. There's one guy at mine who does custom painting and fab work.

Alrighty then….

I started out using body lines to separate colors and designs. Start simple, go from there.
Just body lines here:

These are the only pictures I have on hand that best demonstrate using body lines to separate colors. I am slowly branching out to flashier stuff.

He asked for painters, so I gave him several good one’s that provide the “service” he asked for specifically…

I agree 100% with @CertifiedMike that it’s smart to have a practice body as well. Also agree with you that there’s nuthin’ to it but to do it.. Gotta start somewhere-none of us were proficient at ANY of this stuff before we started doing it. -just like building a kit, soldering, breaking in a fancy race engine, gluing tires SUCCESSFULLY, etc.. Gotta get those hands dirty in this hobby if ya wanna have a good time.
