Looks good enough to me.those pearls and special paints have to be applied carefully and consistently to get good results. Practice is the key

bah - I say good job on a first - hell even 3rd attempt - thats a nice job








Besides - if your totally unhappy with it - you can redo the outside in "mud" color

RC_UK

you guys are too kind

ya, looks nice if youre not close, it could be worse , keep up the good work [8D]

I cant see anything wrong with that at all

excellent attempt for first time

I would not grumble at that if you gave me the shell

As they say practice makes perfect and you do not have a long way to go

well the flames are well done.

aslong as you dont get told that its meant to look like 'clouds' then it actually looks good!

My Feedback: (1)

If you think thats crap...I am glad I can't post pics of my first paint job ever on a RC buggy. The flames look pretty good and looks like the blue is sprayed unevenly, but as someone else said.... I have read that pearls, color changing paint, chrome, etc. is difficult to get right.

I have a LST Racer body that I finally have an idea for...just need to order the liquid mask, paint, etc. and go for it. Hopefully it will not be too far off from my idea.

I definitely think it could have come out much worse. I hope this is what you were looking for....I am trying to NOT say Good job! LOL

That spray job looks fine to me.

Far better than I would achieve on my first attempt with the airbrush, i am sure. I have just sprayed a new F150 supercrew shell, i took the easy option of internal flame decals and a single (silver) colour scheme.

The first shell I painted was for a T-Maxx, I went for blue with white viper stripes. The result was complete ****e with more paint bleeding than I thought was possible.

I will post a pic of my new silver shell when I get round to downloading the camera.

Looks good ot me, like the fade on the flames a lot.

bigtrucklst

thats what I did. I think yours looks good. I dont care how good my paint job looks at 40 mph or backflipping....

LST-UK

Yea flames are cool....should of gone for a simple main color like me on the first job, then it would of then looked wicked. Test new stuff on a coke bottle first its cheaper.....


Is that shell now on e-bay....?

RC_UK

yea just sold it.lol.

LST-UK

How much did you get....im like you if im not happy with it then sell it....

RC_UK

24 quid with postage, not bothered if i kept it or not really, itll be trashed in a few outings.

LST-UK

Thats alright... gets you the money for a new one....and once you got the paint its cheap....cant imagine how much paint is in a compressed air can...about 3mm then all air.....£5...[X(]

hobbyadict

Hezrou
