Painting a hard body
Hey guys, during 4th of july i had my stampede out and some guy come over and gave me a blue spraypainted corvette hard body. It was a real nice body, complete with chrome supercharger, chrome bumpers, and chrome sidepipes, but the paint job was crappy. So i have sanded it down most of the way so its smooth and now im gunna paint it. I already picked up 2 cans of tamiya plastics paint...some bright red and silver. I plan on having silver flames on the sides with a red main body. I was thinking that id spray the sides silver then once its dry id cover the area in masking tape, and draw flames on it with a sharpie and cut it out with an exacto knife. Then id spray over the tape with my red and once im done id peel it off...
