steveb34 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 hello there guys I'm looking around for someone in the UK to paint 2 bodies for me. ive painted my own shells before, but i want these to be top notch, they are 2 Ford Escort shells, and are hard to come by. looking for replica rally paintwork on them, so if you know anyone up to doing a better job than i can manage, then drop me a note below. cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wade7575 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Just wondering what paint have you used in the past,I have used Tamiya but people have told me their rattle cans work good.I have used Pactra and it never really sticks that good and chips off when you roll the truck,I have found Parma Faskolor works great and never chips off what so ever and only comes off when the body rub's the chassis,I have also found a Badger Airbrush does not work that well with this paint as it's thicker even if you fill the bottle to the top with water I use a Paasche VL with the medium tip and it spray really nice and the needles don't bends like the badgers as everyone is always bent and is a big joke at most Hobby Shop's in Canada about how badger is only going to release 1 needle that is perfect and if the person turns it in they will 1 million dollars.

atom3624 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 PM Mark of Outlaw Graphics. EXCELLENT work - done a few of mine and no errors that I've noticed. http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/28181-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/28175-bf-20140313-01/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27857-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27628-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/27470-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18916-pict0123/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18912-/ http://www.msuk-forum.co.uk/gallery/image/18909-pict0111/ The Bigfoot has sponsor decals added to the chassis, body only paint. Blue Thunder - paint only. Red Bull F360 LargeScale - all paint - no decals. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ferrari's gone now - never used it - shame. MT's are great for me - don't need to find especially smooth terrain. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

53HRA Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I've seen Daz replicate some brilliant Tamiya rally bodies in the past. It might be worth asking dropping him a message Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trans4Mation Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi bud if it the shells from retro racing in Finland I'm sure you need a special paint as some lexan paint makes them brittle an they break so easy. Do a google search I'm sure I've read on tc yr or so ago about them. They have been re done now an come pre painted in rothmans livery done by rally legends .
