Royal Racing Paint
Hey Guys,
I'm a relative new comer to oOple, and even fresher to off-road, but it seems like any painter who's a painter has a thread on oOple, so I thought I'd kick off my own. So Just started racing off-road at the Pro-Line Dirt Arena in Bicester so bought a B4, a JConcepts Illuzion and adapted my touring car scheeme. Was a bit of a rushed job, but that's ok when it's a personal shell! Metalic Blue with purle highlights and drop shadows, Met. Teal, Met. Orange, Met. Yellow and Coarse Met. White. I mixed things up a bit, changed the back window to a number plate for the motoX look, and added an air vent on the 'b'-pillar. I also painted the rear wing, which seems to be a bit un-cool in off road circles- why is that? Also painted a matching Pro-Line Car Jack stand. Loving the stands these days! Hope you guys like!

And here's a nother that I did recently.
A Cat SX- probably not what I'd normally paint, it's a transfer of the customers existing 2WD paint scheeme but I brought a bit of my own style to it including the Ghost flames in the black at the back. It's large flake metalic white, Fluro Pink and at the back is candy/metallic/flat black ghost flames.

Are you interested in how I've done a particular job, or are you just looking for advise in general? If you're just starting out I reckon you should look at some of the videos on you tube.

Another TC body fresh out the shop:
A PF Speed 6 for a local ace racer- adapted from an existing body- Colours are a bit different and I cleaned up the shape a bit from the previous design- can't remember who painted it- someone in the states? Fluro Yellow, Metallic black and Metallic silver with painted lights/grills/intercooler.

New Shell using the AE theme for Toby, this time in candy metallic red. I can't say how much the photo's don't do this colour justice! It's got a really deep lustre without the pink-ness you normally get with Metallic reds.
Also features White, Carbon effect, Mettallic black and my usual painted lights and grills. 1/8 buggy coming next...........

Hi Jon,
yes, I laid down candy red and then backed it with large flake metallic silver, then backed that with black to make it 'pop'. Cheers, Chris.

Candy's are always best to make metalics really deep.
 I think normal met's are a bit dull.

Two legends of RC paint post in my thread on the same day?!
 For sure with some colous (like red) candy is the best (only?) way to get quality colour. But it's also alot more hassle. I've got a couple of blues and silvers (obviously) that run a sweet metallic straight from the bottle. I've got a 'metalic black' which paints into a very nice metallic- albiet dark grey, which I need to tint with black candy if I want it to look black.

New shell- finally another buggy for oOple instead of all the TC's!: Pro line Crowd Pleazer 2.0 going out to Chris G for his 1/8 Xray 808 buggy.
Featuring Black ghost flames at the back, Fluro pink, white, metalic silver and BADA-BLING silver for highlight stripe and window frames. I'm not happy with the pictures so much because the it's all very shiney and bright in real life- maybe after a few dozen more shells I can afford a new camera! Mad Rat coming next.....
