Even after 6 years, this video helps me heaps. I have a 180sx Pandora body waiting to be painted. Although, I had a hard time figuring out the best way to do the window trim. Now I feel ready. Thanks a bunch!
No problem! Feel free to ask anything if you need help. Pandora bodies are sweet!
Everyone makes videos on painting the bodies how about a video on how to put the bumpers in the front and in the back together
About to attempt my first RC build and I dont even want to continue cause idk what to do after I paint. Almost zero helpful videos about bumpers or anything im just winging it now 😂
Great video man!
I'm glad you did this video. This is how I do my bodies as well. I find it to be very effective. Great video editing too!
zimus thank you! Yes it certainly works and is highly effective
Now that's cool man I wanna get into the rc life man
awesome video, very helpful
appreciate it! Any other questions let me know
Chris J what paint product to you prefer to use. Is there a certain brand that you feel is quality. I bought a toyota Corolla body I'm going to try to do do it...lol
Miguel Cuevas Miguel Cuevas nice! Just take your time don't rush it. I prefer Tamiya (buy the PS stuff only),duratrax or pactra.
Chris J thanks dude really appreciate it
Hi Chris, I'm painting a 300zx and and I was wondering how you got the bumpers on the s15 to stay on and did you use sharpie for the trimmings on the doors and fenders? Thanks
I'm about to go on the same journey as you. Just ordered a 300zx shell. How did you go? Keen for any tips
looks like he used hot glue gun
It's hard to get a finish that's realistic and so the paint pops, both those shells are awesome great job
Why are you left handed?
Thats just weird.
Great tutorial.
6:20 I love it
Thanks, real happy with how they turned out... though the black shells are always a paint to keep clean.
5 years later and a pandemic how’s life man .? This is a great video. But how do you get it so shiny. Do you clear coat these. What the deal ?
Thanks man. No reason to clear unless you paint from the outside...not sure if someone even makes a clear with a flex agent (in case you hit something to prevent cracking). Once you paint the inside then peel off the outer film it’s high gloss
Nice, I'm getting my 300zx and wonder if I'm gonna need to paint the tails on my owm
waytoomuch always wanted that shell, possibly, depends on the brand. Tamiya usually has them in the white/black plastic depending on the shell like the Subaru hatch.
I'm about to receive my 300zx shell. How did you go with the tail lights? And what leds did you use? Thanks
im painting my body champagne (a creamy orange kind of color) with a flake (glitter) on top but i'm not sure what color to use as a backing color?
Id probably say a silver then white. Use some of the spare lexan to test spray, or a 2 liter pop bottle.
How do you do the body lines? And how do you tint the light covers?
Péter Soponyai
Apologize on late reply,
I use a fine tip Sharpie permanent marker. I know others use a marker made for Gundam models or very thin vinyl cut at different widths.
WRAP UP NEXT makes a tint film, purchased it from Rc art. You can also use a wider/fat tip sharpie marker but practice on spare lexan so you do not get overlapping strokes.
Any other questions let me know please!
do you have a link from the yellow front light tint?

Awesome work Chris. I've just gotten back into the RC world and I have a question that I can't seem to find any info on the net. I noticed as you were assembling the S15. There were some addition body parts that needed to be attached. Could you explain just a little about that process. How to fix the parts to the bodyshell, etc? I'd really...REALLY appreciate your input dude.
Somehow your comment was labeled as spam.
The additional parts on the S15 I installed were, lightbuckets, headlight tint film, windshield wipers/mirrors and the exhaust.
For the lightbuckets, I used the yokomo headlights for the Toyo S15 and D Craft taillights from Tetsujin. Simply applied a small amount of hot glue around the perimeter to seal them in place.
For the tint film, I cut an appropriate size, applied light heat from a hair dryer/heat gun. Then pressed it firmly onto the mold for no air bubbles.
Exhaust, I used hot glue again to attach it in the proper position. Same thing with the wipers and mirrors.
Any other questions please let me know.
Chris J thanks chris for all you input. i really appreciate it 😊
Hey man I’m new to all this and I actually stepped foot in my local hobby store and ended up buying an rc drift car cuz they are framing awesome but I’m not even sure what size scale I need to buy my bodies. I would like to know if you could help me out!
Where can i buy the 350z from?
what did you do to hold the bumpers
Hey rc fella , so these come with masking tape for headlights ??
Yes, certain brands have them already pre-cut as well so it’s as simple as peel an stick (granted you can get in in position first try, which is tough)
Nice paint job, where are you located?
Michael Williams thank you, chicago
I'm in Chicago, do you do cars for other people?
not normally, busy schedule right now. I may know someone who can though
Okay I'll stay in contact and keep up the good work.
God Bless:
How do you put the bumpers on
Harrison_fpv _ I used hot glue, others use shoe goo or a tape to hold it. No wrong way, no right way just whatever works, however my method can be messy
hi, I got some paint on the windows of an RC that i want to keep clear. I'm trying to keep it from getting cloudy. any suggestions on what to use?
Tamiya Polycarbonate body cleaner. It’s the safest thing to use to prevent the body from distorting when removing overspray. You can also try 91% Isopropyl Alcohol (aka rubbing alcohol; must be 90% or higher) but it’s only effective if the paint hasn’t hardened as you’ll have to apply a generous amount of pressure if the paint has cured.
DO NOT use lighter fluid or nitro fuel as you’ll damage the lexan either by clouding it or melting it, the latter happening by leaving the nitro fuel on too long.
did you use a black marker on the rest of the trim or how did you do it?
surryj yes a fine tip sharpie
how do you make the bodylines?
DimasP used a fine tip sharpie, others may use actual vinyl lines, the pen from gundam models from what I remember. Whatever works for you or you feel the most comfortable with
@@ChrisJedd do you use the pen or vinyl lines on the exterior?
Hybrid3443 hey, I use a fine tip sharpie, everyone has their own way of doing it though, some use fundamental pens to small lines of vinyl
nice work, I remember the yokomo Z being hard to find, good score on that, and i dont think i could ever spray a shell barefoot. what ever makes you comfortable I guess right. keep up the great work.
thanks josh, yea with wearing work boots all day they need some relief haha. Still using that window trim tip as well.
+Chris J sweet thanks, any maybe one day ill come back to it all. who knows
I have a hard time glueing stuff together what brand glue are you using
Shoe goo or double sided foam tape
What body brand is the S15?
Dlike good sir
wow the best body painting video i have ever seen i will definitely use this video for my r32 gtr body thank you so much for these tips!!!!!!!
the BEST how to on UA-cam. well done. happy sidewayz.
Where did you buy the body of lexan ?????
Nice video my friends
Anonymous Hacks thank you
Local hobby shop if possible, if not, blackstarhobbies, super g, falconhobbysupply, raikou drift are all in the states
OMG OKAYYYY!!!!!! I follow you man it's a beautiful job😍❤️
That’s like 3 inches away from the plastic
Quick question. How do you attatch the bumpers to the body? Hot glue?
Big like!
RC Sweden 08 thank you!
which color do u do for backing the paint? can u tell me which one u used? and why should i back the paint? does it protect the paint?
elite kill I have all of the info in the video description. I used silver from Pactra to back it.
You back the paint so the shell isn’t translucent when light hits it. I usually do 3-5 coats of the main color and 3 coats of the backing. TOTALLY depending on color preference though.
Certain backing colors also effect how the main color pops as well, best idea is to take a two liter soda container, cut it up and spray test sections to get the color you want to achieve instead of using a brand new body.
Let me know if that helped and if you have any other questions plesse
Chris so how do u paint the body I mean like I painted a new body and then the paint came off under like the other side and like I don’t know how to paint without the paint coming off
Use ps paint, and not ts
NigelPlayz YT this^ make sure you wash it out prior as well to get all of the oils off from the production for the best adhesion of the paint.
Light multiple coats to get a nice solid color then back it. Be sure to let the coats cure before applying new. Any other questions let me know man
Do tamiya make a color like the Testors Pactra Fiery Orange Lacquer 3 oz. Spray (303413)???
I really want to make your car!
Apologies on the late reply, I think the closest thing would be PS-61 Metallic Orange backed with silver. I'm just going off the color chart online, looks pretty similar.
With color do you used in the front head lights of the Nissan 350z?
WRAP UP NEXT makes a tint film, I used the yellow and purchased it from RC art japan
what light buckets did you use for the s15. My d-like s13 doesnt come with pre painted light buckets so im wondering
Believe I used Yokomo for the front, d craft for rear
@@ChrisJedd thanks
dope cars
ABS-BreakerZ thank you
Im into rock crawling but i want to try drifting....what chassis company r u using?
SCALED OUT GARRETT I haven’t been in the hobby for at least 1.5years like I used to, I have a DLIKE Rer hybrid.
You need to check out yokomo yd2 or MST. I’d suggest making a Facebook and finding rc drift groups in your area or finding a RWD rc drift for the most information
Thx...
nice video men!i will give you a big thumbs up
thank you
welcome men
To bad they went out of business that had such a great selection 😢
D-like went out of business?
baik gilaaaa
Nice
Solid job brotha🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
How did you get the door trim black? And I saw you cut the bumper how do you attach another bumper. It's because I am doing the RCMart brz body and I am going to make it baby blue wide body and that includes installing the wide body and a new front bumper.
Window trim is around 4:11. For the door gaps I used a fine tip sharpie. A lot of people may use shoe goo or double stick tape for the bumpers. I use hot glue but after the gun has cooled off a bit, if its too hot it will take the paint.
Thanks man! Really appreciate the advice!
no problem, any other questions feel free to ask.
great video ! nice work :)
I was wondering how to paint door line and window line! I learned! I will use this technique hood line too! Thanks
It's a beautiful finish!
I also make videos with RC DRIFT in Japan.
Nice tutorial
How did you get yellow light buckets
Rc art sells a yellow headlight tint film. Can also sharpie the plastic but whatever your preference.
I'm glad you did this video. This is how I do my bodies as well. I find it to be very effective. Great video editing too!
can i just buy that nissan off you?
Abraham Carreras where are you located
i maybe dumb but how did you get the black paint off the body for the windows?
redjewlsyn 06 never a dumb question.
Removing the paint from the window area? I'd mask off the area real well then use Rc nitro fuel on a small towel for the larger areas. Then q tips for the edges. Rc nitro fuel vs isopropyl alcohol because the oil in the fuel is less harsh on the plastic from what I've read.
thanks man from the way the video nade it look you didnt tape the body down for the windows lmao thanks tho and keep being a good artist man
redjewlsyn 06 ahhh lol you wrote "how do you get the black paint off the windows" didn't think you meant spraying or painting them
When you purchase a body (depending on the brand) it comes with window masks. You put those on the inside before you spray your body color. After spraying the body color (inside of course) you remove those masks carefully. After the body color dries then spray a tint depending how dark you want to go.
ok that makes alot more sense lmao
How are the rims on the s15 called and where can i get them?
hey
your video is very inspirational, two questions/ how did you depict the shadows of the doors and trunk. And are lights (yellow) glued to the 350z? because they look very nice /doesn't look like a sticker/.
Late reply, can use a fine tip sharpie or thin viny. I think .3mm line tape
Where can I get a 350z body as this one in the video?
Leyon1 lee if you're in the states, support falcon hobby supply, raikou drift or vertex rc
Thank you
Can you make a tutorial how you do that limecolor headlight.
of where get that bodies?
Purchased the 350z from a local hobby shop, S15 from Raikou drift. Support your local hobby shop first before checking online.
East Coast -> Raikou Drift or Falcon Hobby Supply
West Coast -> Vertex RC or Super G
How did u make the lights look so good and also i have a question bc when u just sprayed black on top of the car how did u get it off
The lights have light buckets on the inside which make them look scale.
On the bodies there is a plastic film which you can use as masking.
@@ChrisJedd thx
@@ChrisJedd is the plastic film just a thing or did u apply it
@@tobo__ No problem, ask away.
Every new body should have one! Really helpful to use at the end for the scale look of black window trim
@@ChrisJedd can i put led lights in the lightbuckets? And also is there any way to find out if a shell has a plastic film before ordering?
Sry forasking so much
thnx mate only the text is going very fast :) maybe you can slow it down next time i liked and sub
Will do! Thanks!
What chassis?
A Lex D-Like RER
Bro where did you get the light buckets
great job on both shells!
how did you cut the s15 Lightbuckets to make em fit. what tool did you use?
Dub Step thank you!
What buckets are you using? Which brand?
I used the yokomo s15 headlight buckets, might of trimmed the front off with a pair of snips I believe. The taillights are dmagic from tetsujin, more of a epoxy material type. I didn’t have to modify those
How about on the next video you do you explanation on how you attach the bumper with either the hot glue or shoegoo
Hollywood Fresh I will consider doing this as I’m getting back into the hobby soon
nice job on the video !!!
birdman4926 thank you
What did you use for the black trim separating the body lines?
(Gaps between doors, hood, trunk etc)
I usually use a fine tip sharpie,
Some guy makes vinyl lines, varying in thickness just like in 1:1 gaps. Link below
miniworks.bigcartel.com/product/body-lines
Chris J Thanks. I just ordered a the trim lines. Have tried a sharpie in the past, but find that it leaves a "purplish" hue to it.
Thanks again!
can u build evo 9
AIRFORZA king
Shoot me a pm please
Direct message please
Is there a way to be able to have the paint scratch on the bumpers ?
Itsmee 007
To make it look like a primer underneath?
I’d spray the inside of that bumper with a black/white/gray, then first spray the outside with an adhesion promoter, then lay a couple coats of whatever color. Note, when spraying on the outside it most likely will have a matte finish
dijual ga gan
great tutorial,that silvia matches copper color very well.
Caynex Leong thank you! Oh yeah def one of my favorite colors
What did you use to Tint the front lenses of the 350z?
WRAP UP Next window tint, purchased from RC Art. They are at the bottom of the link, rc-art.net/search_eng.php?KEY=&category=%A5%B9%A5%C6%A5%C3%A5%AB%A1%BC%CE%E0&st=75
You can also get the same effect using a fat felt tip sharpie, practice first though on spare lexan.
ㅋ
GREAT work on both projects!!!
zimus thank you
Where did you purchase the s15 body?
Raikou Drift - raikoudriftshop.com/
Cool cars
Did you only use one can of the fiery orange?
Kodak Chino very late reply, yes only one can
Wait how did it go from dull to brilliant shine?
Gobby Prick there's a protective film in top of the body's to protect it from over spray
Gobby Prick ^what he said, there’s a protective film on the outside. I used it as a mask for doing the window trim etc on the outside.
@Chris J what did you use to hold the bumpers for the nissan silvia please respond
sorry about that. I mainly use hot glue on my detachable bumpers. Your better off using quality double stick tape. 3M makes great stuff. just make sure your paint is fully cured beforehand. if you go hot glue route and your gun gets real hot, be sure to unplug it and let it cool a bit so the glue doesnt botch the paint.
Thank you very much
is it possible you can use super glue from tamiya as well on these models cars? looking to build my first. just want to get enough knowledge before I go ahead with this
how did you get the yellow headlights?
Apologies on the late response,
It's a tint film made by WRAP-UP Next RC, rc-art.net/product_eng/4571344911605
I simply heat it up with a hair dryer and press it to fit the mold. Other than that you can use a sharpie with a thick head, just make long strokes. Practice first on a 2-liter pop bottle plastic.
what color spray did you use for your s15 look aweosme
thanks a lot man this really helped me alot. keep up the good work
no problem. If you have facebook, check the RC Drift/Buy/Show/Sell pages, post up on there, look for people near you, try their chassis out etc.
What are the wheels on the s15
The Guy in the Sky

How to smoke Windows
Joe Ghetto purchase tamiya ps smoke tint for windows. After spraying the body from the inside and completing the backing coats. Then you can remove the window masks and apply to your preference.
Let me know if you have any other questions
we're the real s13 yo

Brooooooooo sooo sickkk
thank you
please answer?

yo sorry, i login time to time to check
Color on the S15:
Testors Pactra Fiery Orange Lacquer 3 oz. Spray (303413) x 3 coats
Testors Pactra Indy Silver Lacquer 3 oz. Spray (303416) x 3 coats
You can buy these RTR or in Kits, totally depends on the kit/car you go with if it includes a body or not. I'd recommend finding a local group if you haven't, to try out their chassis to get
an idea of what to go with. Right now, RWD is the norm. Using a small gyro, the front wheels auto counter steer. Might say that's no fun, but this can call for real tight tandems, plus it looks scale. (yes there are great drivers who can do no gyro and awd, and still perform just as well)
Good place to get started: driftmission.com/guides/
Check the forum part, explore, read, learn.
As far as tamiya super glue, I really dont know. I dont think it would. You would have to spray a test piece and see if the glue reacts, Im pretty sure it does.
I would try to find a local group if you have one, where are you located? I might be able to help.
Also, I made this document for someone else starting. Good link to places of where to buy stuff

Awesome music choice!
Yordles Of Doom thank you!
How did your music taste change over 2 years? Or did it stay the same
Really awesome man!!! What brand is that s15?
haha my bad, nevermind
Preston W not a problem, all products used are in the description!
Preston W thank you as well
Chris J Where do you buy your products?
Chris J I am currently using rcmart but I haven't found paint there
when purchasing a model like these does it come with a chassis? love the wheels
hate to ask but wanted to know where you got them
???
Umm it has to come with a chassis that's like 90% of the thing
