Two JConcepts Illuzion Ford Raptor SVT SCT Bodies Getting Some Paint

[WickedFog]

I'm not going to go too much into these, but I will post some pics as I go. These bodies are for our two SCT's. The Losi XXX, and the Tekno SCT410 2.0.

6 coats of Bitty Design liquid mask applied.

I then cut out all the black details, which is the entire cage area, front air vents, and window trim. Sprayed black.

First coat was a real light one, followed by some hair dryer action to speed things up, then a heavier coat and repeat. This is after the 3rd coat.

And this is about 3 coats later.

Next up is peal the remaining liquid mask and I am going to candy the heck out of the front end of both trucks. I am still undecided on the colors. But I think the Tekno will get a true fire looking paintjob on the front (yellow, orange, red), with a medium blue candy on the back. The Losi I might do in blue/green fire, with a medium gray on the rear. Still undecided. I'm going to attempt this, just for practice. If it turns out bad... oh well. They're SCT's

Yellow applied to XXX body. Going to try to keep the flames inside the lines.

The candy is pretty translucent when applied? Am I remembering that correctly?

That yellow comes through nicely

Yes. With Createx Candy 2.o, it is a dye instead of a pigment. The more you apply, the darker it gets. If I kept going, it would eventually turn almost black.

If I spray black over it right now, the yellow would disappear.

Maybe I do need your help after all...

You paint a good picture.

Playing with fire, and I haven't quite got it yet because my airbrushes are spraying too big of a pattern. But I think I know what I need to do, which may involve paint brushes. It's just a pain trying to do all this in reverse order while getting things to blend properly. One more speed shape test in a bit, then I'm gonna just wing it on the XXX body.
