I want it to be perfect, so I was wondering if there are any companies that do proffessional RC car paint jobs custom or by request. I am not that skilled at painting, and I also have 2 very young kids, which means I can't leave stuff laying around and they'll lock in on it and destroy it.

Status: offline 		Here's how I'd like the car body painted to match the brochure car, which I'm building my car after, minus the wheels. I'm keeping my black wheels, and looks like the Tamiya Castrol Civic model uses wheels like on my car.



The real JDM car;


I want the red strip along the grey bumper to be black as I will be replacing my molding strip. Also of course, black over grey two tone, not red over grey. The kit has little moldings for clearing the taillights red so you can put bulbs in, and same with the headlights. But the kit also includes stickers for the windows, headlights, taillights. I plan to use this model at car shows with my CR-X when I finish it. I want to find a proffessional because the level of skill needed to recreate what I am looking for is WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY beyond me. And I have NO time for the detail and patience this requires. Ranger1, I checked your gallery. Those look really good.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I have the body. It came in the kit and is a clear body with a film over the outside of the body to protect it from overspray so when you're done you just peel it off. I'll try to find some paints at the hobby shop? Any particular type of paint I should look for? All my old buggies just took some model spray paint to the body. Nothing pretty, they took a beating.
