Post up your lids!

[Boogie]

Figured I would start up a sort of paintjobs thread since noone had started one up yet.

Here's a few I did for myself and some buddies...

I'll have a few SCT pics up soon!

some nice paint jobs.

 

[Boogie]

Thanks!

Found another one...

Nice paintjobs. I like the last crawler.

 

[marauder]

Damn boogie, great work.

I'm going to have to meet up with you and have you teach me how you're getting that marble effect! You aren't too far from me it looks like.

 

[charliejp]

Great looking paint jobs!

 

[Roller]

Nice work. I really like the effect behind the green and blue.

 

[insaneatvs]

Great looking Lids, I like the way you marbled the paint

 

[Mayhem]

These all look nice. Good Job.

I like the scheme on this one. The colors and simple wrap around stripe all works great together. Very nice looking lid.

 

[marauder]

Quick body, I'm not that creative.

Marauder, is that the hard core or desert rat body? I'm looking to do that body up in black, but with the Jack Daniels Nascar decals.

What's funny about the black and blue crawler, is that it was the only one I really messed up on. The masking somehow screwed up and I had a few paint bleeds I had to sort of buff out with a bamboo skewer. It turned out ok, but it could have definitely been better. But yeah, out of all the effects, marbling is my favorite and the one I've had the most practice at. Next up is true fire, so we'll see how that goes.

It's the proline desert rat body.

That blue marble effect is badass either way. I take it you race legends down at Coyote?

 

[Boogie]

Cool.
Thanks!
Yeah, once or twice back in the winter...then I just got too tied up with work so I sold it to pay for stuff for my crawler. I wish I hadn't sold it, but I at least got close to what I put into it back out of it...other than the time I put into painting the body. I'm actually going to get another Legends kit sometime this fall and race some more, it's a hoot.

that xc-1 is freakin wicked!!!!

 

[Boogie]

Thanks! It was finished literally hours before a comp, I'm pretty sure the clear coat wasn't completely dry by the time I hit the first course. The marbling is actually pretty easy to do, definitely a lot easier than masking and cutting a lot of graphics. I want to get a vinyl plotter/cutter sometime for my setup so I can print my own custom masks, it makes life a LOT easier when doing complicated jobs.

Tyler, that body looks sick. I noticed you had it for sale, not digging it?

I have been dying to get a vinyl plotter/cutter for the longest time.

I think I'm going to pick up something like this when I get around to it...
