This is my clean body so far. I'll add some details to it when i get some spare time but I plan to keep it real looking.

I'm just looking for a way to dye my plastic wheels now. They're white and I want them black, I think it'll look much better with a dark wheel.

He did say airbrushed. I think a one color is not really what he is talking about.

actually im talking about cars that are mostly 1 color..like the dodge above..i like clean bodies that look like a real car..im not a huge fan of crazy paint jobs and stickers all over the place..just looks ricey in my opinion..the dodge above is nice..to dye the wheels just go to walgreens and get some black rit dye..it should be in the pen and pencil isle

i personally prefer one colour paint schemes on the bodies as well. And its not cuz i CANT paint anything cool or fancy, its just my preference.
Only downside, in my opinion, with one colour schemes is its easier to notice rough cut edges in the wheel wells.....man are those ever a pain to cut out perfectly!!!![:@]

nice trucks..i dont own a truck im more of a on road nitro guy but i live in illinois and with winter coming the savage ss kit is growing on me really, really fast...i dont ever have a problem cutting wheel well openings to look perfectly i use the little curved scissors that people use to clip thier finger nails..it even works good on cutting straight lines believe it or not..it sucks for cutting holes in windows though..i have to find another method on my next body

Calvin, you NEED the Swap Dawgs on that 3 speed...

I prefer my RCs with much more simple paint schemes. 3 colors at the most, maybe a 4th for pinstriping and the like. I may buy some more eye candy bodies for the shelf though.

A few decals, but done in only 1 color......chameleon paint....changes from bronze to green depending on how the light hits it.Side windows are chrome paint.
