xristos Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Nice paint jobs, i really like the green shell. If you can paint this well with spray cans I cannot imagine what you can do with and air bursh. Have you ever thought of getting one in the future maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xristos Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Kane among those bodies I like the 12the scale body, but that is probably becaues I really like that shade of yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane Wood Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 Thanks for you nice comments All these bodies have been or are in the process of being painted with airbrushes. I'm doing more soon, and some can be found on oople.com http://www.oople.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147090 thanks again Kane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stretch2807 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 (edited) Welcome chap! The vast majority of shells that come pre-painted aren't really that, they're more printed than painted and you wouldn't be able to remove it. You'll easily be able to get a clear shell to which you can add your own design and paint scheme. You apply the paint to the inside, that way if you scratch the outside of the shell, it doesn't remove the paint. The lexan also gives a nice glossy shine to the finish. On the outside will be an overspray film which you remove AFTER you've painted the inside. Paint wise, most use rattle cans like these http://www.modelsport.co.uk/body-shop/rc-car-categories/9950/995025 Don't be tempted to buy bog standard rattle cans from Halfords and the like, as the paint isn't designed for the polycarbonate shells and flakes off. Removing paint from shells is possible i done it with my Asnmann Virus shell took the stock paint off an sprayed myself Black was fairly easy just used an paint thinner and a old rag came off with ease only hard part was getting into the corners but for that I used a cotton bud.. THe shell s look Great btw Edited May 28, 2014 by stretch2807 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woza Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 Painted a new shell for my Hyper ST a few months back (first one) and realy enjoyed it. So when it was time to get a new shell for my Losi 8 i thought i would have another go. Enjoyed that too! Masking Tape, Scalpel and rattle cans Saw the design somewhere else but changed the colors. Comments and tips welcome. [/url Hyper ST Truggy shell, again with masking tape and Rattle cans [url=http://imageshack.com/i/mkimag1396mj/] what colours (batch numbers)did you use looks the nuts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share Posted January 2, 2015 what colours (batch numbers)did you use looks the nuts Cheers Not sure on batch numbers as not got the colours anymore but they where FastFinish rattle cans by Fastrax. Available from CML Distribution. Hope that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCMonkee Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 Needed a new shell for my H2 and picked a cheap clear KF shell up. Bit of trimming and a homemade rear mount and it fits pretty good. Was not too sure what i was going to do with it but this is how it ended up. Need to get a black wing too. The GTB done a few months back.
