Default RE: 1:10 "Blue Streak" MAX Electric Truck & 1:10 Aflac "Monster Tires" Car

Welcome, rc theman, thanks for the kudos. I thought the painting would have been a lot scarier than I thought. At first it's intimidating. Especially with a two-tone car. You have to make sure you mask it off just right for what colors you're laying down, ensure you have the right kind of paints, clear coats that don't screw up the overall look, etc. It's not easy at first, but it goes downhil after the first coat of paint is laid down. It also helps greatly if you have the shell pre-masked by the company as you can rest assured that there's no left over oil on the shell from when they broke it from the mold... otherwise, the masking wouldn't stick.
