- This is how I do it.
1- Lexan body shell painted on the outside
First video of a serie.
It's only ambition is to show people how I build my rc's.
There are so many different ways to do it.
It works fine for me thus I hope it could help someone out there :). Just do it… there is no try.
In further videos I plan to show: weathering, fake rust, brazing…
If there are subjects you'd like to see in videos please let me know and leave a comment hereunder.
Finally i found a great video about painting lexan body from the outside! Awesome! Thank you ;)
+RC Showdown Glad it helped you!
fullspeeddesign yeah, thank you ;)
Insane paint job. Loved it. And love painting new shells. I onow every one is thinking it. What a bout scrape and chips being on the out side.
Thank you Steve 🙏 . No problem for scrape & chips, this look was meant to qui quite clean 🤩
Really enjoyed this video.......
Thank you Peter !
That's god damn genius! Never thought to paint the outside! The silver on the inside is great! Glad I found this!
Thanks! Hope you'll give it a try.
Great! Thank you for showing us your awesome paint skills! Looking forward to the weathering video, I'm very interested!
Great video awesome paint skills love how you show the step-by-step through it :)
Some are born with it.It got perfected when you were born.top notch nice edit on the video.
Thank you!
Amazing, thanks for sharing such a helpful and inspiring video!
Thank you ! Glad it inspires 🙏
very nice work I thought I was the only one that painted the outside of lexan bodys it is so much easier to detail.thank you for this vid.
#355 Thanks for showing that awesome tip with the spray can in middle of body. To hold while painting NICE👍👍
Thanks! No more painted fingers :-)
Thanks for the upside down trick. I never learned that for years until now. lol.
Cool it helped!
I can smell the paint during this video. I enjoy painting. Lol. Nice tutorial!
Love the smell of Tamiya paint, my favorite :)
this is cool and even if using this technique on a "basher" I think it works out -- the paint on the outside may come of and reveal silver; and if you paint over the patch it still gets an authentic "painted over the patch in my garage myself" look! came here via your datsun rally video, thanks.
Thank you!
Excellent job! Well done, thumbs up!
Merci!
Great tutorial and great finished product!
+RC Newb Thank you my friend!
Great instructional video! I keep looking for pre-painted bodies, maybe I will actually do it myself.
Great job! Very nice looking!

Thank you!
I really enjoyed watching this video! Great job man.
Thank you! Hope to have time to make another episode soon. Son many subjects: weathering, brazing, work with styrene…

Thank you !
Any updated on a weathering video? I'm working a project and was curious what paints you used for the rust effects. Great video.
Nice job with this body
+Rc Nerds Thank you!
thanks for this video. im setting up to do a lexan body on the out side and i have never done that
Excelente trabalho!!! 👍
¡ Gracias ! :)
Solid
Nice video!!
could you add a clear coat at the end to make it shiny? im doing a body from the outside
If I'm right Tamiya doesn't have shiny clear coat (in the PS range). It should work but if you mix color brands be careful they might not be so compatible. Make a test on a lexan bit aside, make sure to let paint cure before applying other layer.
Do you always need to use PS spraycans on the outside ? Or is it okay to paint the first layer with PS paint , and then you can use other types of paint ? Great video !!!
When I was young … I painted my bashers on the inside for paint longevity reasons :-). Now that I ride slow things I paint them on the outside, it matches the used paint appearance I look for. I heard that if your 1st layer is PS paint your following layers can be TS, I wouldn't mix paint brands tho. I'll try that soon for sure! 🙏
@@fullspeeddesign @fullspeeddesign hello, sir! I'm a beginner and I'm planning to paint my Tamiya and I saw this video of yours. It took me out from my anxiety of painting outside. I'll be painting my kit on my rest day 😁
It's been years since this video was uploaded. It's really a great help!
Oh wait, Have you tried spraying ps paint on the 1st layer and TS on the 2nd layer?
Mate you have some crazy painting stills, real talent I'm watching ALL your videos now.. What masking tape do you use because your lines are perfect with no leaking..
Thank you Marc, I use the Tesa blue masking tape (Tamiya's is greater but defenitely too expensive) and a sharp blade to cut it. It's important before painting to remove air and bubbles where you plan to cut the tape, I do that with an old empty pen, push gently. After painting let it dry but not too long, for me it's fine after a good hour.
Great!!
Thanks!!
I'll stay tuned off her first run.
just love that k5 blazer body.nice painting doesn't look like that your first bbq.good job does that body fit a scx10?
+wikidy69 Thank you! :)
How'd you do the rusty edges?
where did you find this K-5 blazer logo on the sight?
They were on the stickers sheet if I'm right
Its an awesome paint job buddy. Still seems to be a taboo to paint ont the outside of lexan shells but if use right paint no probs I do it all the time
Over the years I painted more lexan on the outside than on the inside.
I don't like that extra giga gloss it gets when painted from the inside :)
Sorry took so long to reply. Like the mega shine and old paint look equaly as much have shells in both finishes that I love.
2 shells are better than 1 :)
Good job!. But take care about put spray in radiator. Kabuuuum.
:D
Another tip is that I use the paint protection film itself as a mask. I recently got a Proline F150 Raptor shell for a Traxxas Slash and was sad to find out was no decals included for the mud splatter graphics on the rear quarters. So got my Sharpie pen and a sharp craft knife and set about drawing my own did this with truck bed window rubbers and ford lettering on the grill. Looked like a prepainted shell.Got some vids of i on my channel. Check it out love to know what a guy of you skill thinks
Good tip indeed, I used it sometimes too. Didn't use it for this 2 tones job because I had to work with multiple masks and I wanted to be sure the paint would grip firmly on the lexan. Checked your channel, keep up the good work… RC rules!
Cheers thanks same right back at you buddy.
nice work on the blazer, but I must say I do find it interesting that you warn us about sharp objects, but fail to use one of the most important safety tools while spraying paint some form of respirator. I sprayed paint in my youth bycycles, later motorcycles, and always thought na I dont need a respirator. I would use nothing or just a bandanna. well now years later. I have neurological problems they are sure came from that spraying without a respirator. take some advice buy or borrow one. just advise from a fellow old spray painter. carry on guys...
Thank you David for your wise advice, I just didn't think of that … sorry to hear about your health issues. I'll sure spread the word in my future videos ! Take care
@@fullspeeddesign The other thing I highly recommend is a Rustoleum Comfort Grip spray trigger. It makes painting much easier and the paint flows better because you can put more even pressure on the nozzle without wearing out your finger.
How does hold up on the outside? Does flake or scratch easy? I don't mean to sound like a critic I'm just curious.
Your welcome! It holds up quite good if you prepared the body before painting. Also some paints are stronger than others. This scale painting is meant for scale driving… not for heavy bashers :)
tip dont use black for the rubber use very dark charcoal gray - Tamiya make tire (rubber) blacks ready mixed
Very good advice, TS-82 rubber black is an incredible paint !
Awesome!
Asplenia.
Thank you!
Beautiful work , excelent video . What type or brand of weathering kits do you use for this body ?
Thanks, for this kit I used vallejo colors and washes for weathering. Green & white color is from Tamiya.
do you have a link for your weathering video?
Not for this exact shell but in this video I explain the process ua-cam.com/video/kkWskoOcVH0/v-deo.html
How come you painted inside silver if you can't see any of it?
New to just paint jobs so trying to learn not trying to be a smartass
No problem 😉 I put silver on the inside so when the paint on the outside get scratched while driving on rocks … it will reveal the silver paint 👍
now I want to paint the outside of my jeep
Ascender :)
wow, thanks for sharing this. Have you ever tried doing a real clean car? Or you enjoy beating em up too much :)
I'm not a shelf guy, but sometimes I paint showroom shine cars for friends. Nto my favorite style though, too much stress ;)
Where do i get bouble sided tape XD
what music did you use please?
I must search … either copyright free from imovie or from the youtube audiolibrary
