Factory painted in matte black with a few little details added by me.

Cheers mate. The paint  is not great in places as I just didn't quite get the coverage needed before backing with black. Still pleased with it though

The most involved shell painting I've done is the Kamei Golf. 4 colours.

 

 

 

 

Love this 👍

I’ve only ever painted one shell, so I guess it counts as my best

Wow, with skill like that I'd be offering custom paint jobs 😉

I’ve always loved this simple paint job I did on this Merc TB-02 a long time ago now and I regret getting rid of it now

Easy to paint single colour body but certainly looks nice when finished.

Use this, but any quality fixative  will do its what I use  on my  watercolours  and pencil work...

[Stormbringer]

Just finished a new shell for my Arrma Typhon. 
Used Fastrax chrome paint for the hexagons and the rest was done with Tamiya PS24 (fluorescent orange), PS27 (fluorescent yellow) and PS1 (white) to back it all.

Thanks.
Pictures don't do it justice as it is much brighter in person. Needs to be so I can see it as far away as possible for speed running. 😉
