Aaaaahhhh, Now I get it! Could you use the same technique on a model car, only backwards? I bought some "Incredible White Mask" at Hobby Lobby, can I use this stuff to do cars or do I need to get the fastcolor stuff? Your paint sure is shiny, are you spraying it with clear afterwards? What kind of paint are you using? You'd never know that I'm 41 years old, I'm asking questions like an excited kid!

Great job.

Its shiny because it is painted inside a Polycarbonate (lexan) Shell that has a plastic film on the outside that you pull off when you are done.
Ive used fasmask on models too.

Another brilliant shell Silver!

Well done.

ive done a few bodies here and their but i use good old fashion tape for masking what type of mask do u use and do u thin it out with anything before u spray it through ur AB and do u use the same gun just for the mask considering the mask hardens or get rubbery type well atleast the masking material ive seen around here my apologies for all the questions but tape masking is so time consuming would like to give this way a try

the good thing about running electric is that their are less holes u have to make on the body their for the body looks better overall unfortunately my rc revo is gas powered so ventilation is something that one has to consider got rid of my touring i wasnt much of a track person i mean i wreeked in track once i got my truck and went out on my 1st bash and ramp jumping i was hooked lol
