Air brush, crescendo 175, faskolor paint, alclad 2 chrone paint and liquid masking film. Faskolor paint I use 30-40 psi and the chrome paint drops to 20 psi.
I use a sharpie marker and draw on the out side then cut the mask. If you make a mistake while drawing on the outside, use a cotton ball and 91% isopropyl alcohol to wipe the line off. Even though it a sharpie marker, it just wipes right off.
Ive only done a few bodies, and the most important thing is to take you time, dont rush it.

My first attempt at a custom job. My previous ones were mainly one color jobs. The dark color is actually spaz-stix holographic paint. It doesn't show well in the pic but it looks awesome on the car. Done with just spray cans.

You can find SpazStix , pactra , Kustom Kolor (new), krylon plastic and rustolium plastic
all of these paints will work some you can find at the hardware store Ie. krylon & rustolium. others your LHS should have or can order for you.
then there is always tower hobbies or some of the other online hobby shops.

I just got done building my first Baja and I can't want to run it.This was one of LargeScaleRC's Extreme Packages, that come with the 30.5cc Stroker engine already installed.I figured what the hell, lets do it right the first time.. The car actually had all the purple anodized metal and the Orange body. I bought and painted my own body for the first time.I also used your guys advise and dropped the anodized metal into a bucket of Drano crystals. 4 minutes later and they were done. I did spray some clear laquer over them, so they would keep there shine... It's time to get her dirty.. I hope you like the pics guys
