practice
just got done practicing some painting techniques. worked nice but i must say, make sure the cans are warm if they arent then you will mess up your paint. just one can that i was using for ghosting wasnt warm and it turned out splotchy but not bad looking. now i just need to come up with a scheme and masks for my car. oh, i practiced on a cut up 2 liter bottle with regualar spraypaint. paint dried and didnt crack after some strenuous testing.

RE: practice
what testing u use, throwing it against a brick wall? cause thats how i test mine...anyways, come up with a simple design, like stripes or have half the car one color and flow into another color for an effect!

RE: practice
thats sad but in a way funny. wish i coulda been there to see it just to be able to laugh at it as time went buy. its sad though cuz its an rc car. but yea...took the plastic bottle piece and hit it against my fence, trees, flicked it and smacked it. even bent it like youd see the body do if you hit something and then whacked it.
