actually for my 1st paint job i copied the way they did it on the HPI directions sheet for painting it but i used the colors i wanted, and it turned out pretty decent.. but thats a good way if u havnt done it before, and make sure u do small coats at a time so u dont have spots where it dripped and **** cuz itll really look bad

Well What kind of body is it going to be? Is this for a on road car, monster truck, buggy? I have a few ideas but need to know what kind of body it is going to be. Will you be using spray paint or airbrush?

I am doing a Dodge Stratus myself. Just finished painting the dodge logo on the hood. Trying to figure what else to add to it.

What I do is put masking tape on the body, Draw what I want, then cut it out, then paint.
