pikey367 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 (edited) ok so had a shell on a cheapo rc my son had, it died so i thought hey why not steal the hard body shell before i bin the rest, so here is what it looked like once i modded it to fit my 1/10th drift car ignore the rims, i have better ones on the way but it was lacking any real "oh hey thats original" look so, got my dremel out, scuffed up a lot of the paint, was planning to go get some spray paint originally and matt black it, but when i realised id have to rub the whole body down, i swerved that idea sat for an hour thinkin, hmm.... what can i paint this with, till my sister came up with the idea of using nail varnish, so got 2 different colours, and started blending them together along with a sponge to dab and give the rusty texture look, so on with the pictures of my work this was before i re-installed the mirrors and rear cover/spoiler thing, then when i tried it on the car and removed silver parts off the bumpers Edited July 8, 2014 by pikey367 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noj Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Nail varnish, interesting approach. Seems to have worked well. Personally, I'd ditch the gray back part, spoils the overall look of the beaten up shell. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCbutcher Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 As noj said it'd look much more scale without that bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
