So after a few days of use, I did find that the paints are scratching off somewhat easily, so to fully protect my paint job, I ended up spraying on a few coats of clear plastidip over the paint and it's totally protected now! amzn.to/2XMLEGL

Hey RC Girl!! Quick tip on your compressor! (Maybe somebody's clued you in already, but if not.....) You mentioned the stop-cock pressure release on the tank, but if you look on the bottom, there is another air release valve there. That is the one you really should mention to folks! That is the one you need to release after every use (in an appropriate area,) to expell the condensated water that builds up inside the tank itself! This will greatly improve both the machine's longevity and performance, as well as your paint's performance. I am a 30+ year remodel carpenter so I've got loads of experience with compressors. Hope this helps you and your fans! Cheers, and keep 'em wheels down!!
I've been airbrushing my bodies for almost 2 years now and what I've learned whether it be Faskolor,Wicked/Createx, or Pro-Line paints is to not only wash and scuff the body,but I add an adhesion promoter, and also after my body as cured for about 24 hours I spray a coat of Krylon clear coat. I do one quick misting with it, then wait about an hour and do another coat and so on. Since I've been doing that I haven't had any scratching or chipping from my Pro-Line paints, or my Faskolor and Wicked paints.
Hey thanks for this I’m just now learning the same, tips for adhesive promoter, I’ve heard you should paint immediately after and what promoter? Also I’ve just used rustolium it’s ight but id like to try krylons stuff
I'm planning on painting my first custom rc body for my rustler. I originally was going to use the paint in the can but now am leaning towards airbrushing it instead. The way I was going to paint it was on the interior of the body and not the outside. Will the paint still scratch if I do it on the inside?
@@rukia3219 Yes it will still scratch eventually. All Lexan RC bodies are painted from the inside except for hard-injected molded bodies. Which comes on most crawlers and rock bouncers.
gravity feed is always better than siphon feed bcs you get more paint delivery with less pressure bcs gravity pulls the paint down int the gun vs high air volume to pull up the paint. Especially for automotive applications, literally all paint related factors can be applied to all applications. paint has a very universal standard. Even the same psi setting for the air brush is the SAME psi setting for a full size automotive professional spray gun.
you can also use the paint brand, createx sold at hobby lobby. I do prefer Faskolor by parma pse which has a ton of colors and is actually less expensive than createx.parmapse.shptron.com/c/faskolor-paint-shop?pp=15 also, a liquid masking is a lot better to prevent bleeding. use many layers of it or it's not easy to peel off in a thin film. also you can back the paint with rustoleum. it will help keep if from scratching off. this is what most of the guys that paint rc shells professionally do.
Oh my God I'm in love. Lol great video. I just got my first rc ever and bought several airbrushes a year ago. May have to give this a try. You just got another sub my friend. Beautiful eyes and smile drug me in. Excellent content kept me. 👌
Watching the start of this i was thinking why would you add that much xtra work to painting the body because to me i have no skills of being an artist i would ruin more body panels than i could correctly paint so i kept watching and got my answer you already have really good artistic skills
masters are a good beginner airbrush. quality wise they are bit meh.. i too started with a masters but felt like i needed more. once you get pro status you might want something a bit more reliable and consistent. iwata and badger airbrushes are top of the line. i personally use a iwata eclipse for my modeling. i do a lot of fine detail, blending and shading with mine.
Hey!! In the middle of watching all your capra videos cuz I just got my kit yesterday. I couldn't find the updated manual. Could you help me find it? 👨🔧🤞
Excellent video and well thought out and presented. One thing I would really like to put some emphasis on. Airbrushes is one of the places that money speaks loads. Please buy the best airbrush you can. There are some great Chinese airbrushes but here you definitely get what what you pay for. There are certainly some good Chinese airbrushes but they are the exception. The problem is that so many people just starting out will use one of the bad airbrushes and get really frustrated because they really are harder to brush good with and will give up because of frustration, myself included. Driving a good quality brush is really a great thing to do and you build confidence so much quicker. There are so many great airbrushes on the market right now. If you just really can’t right away spend some time researching the different Chinese brands, I own at least 4 of them, I did finally break down and buy a harder and steenbeck infinity CR+. I am not a snob because I use an H&S. Far from it. I’m a noob that wants to do his best and use the best tools to help achieve that. I still use my Chinese brushes but for any fine detail work I grab my H&S because I don’t have the I same talent to be able to do a killer paint job no matter what I use but need the help of a good tool to get close. I’m sure I’m going to get flamed for saying what I have but it’s just based on my own personal experience.
what? NO!!! you can't paint the body with clear first! you use masking tape or liquid masking. if you get any bleeding it's because you used the wrong kind of masking tape. I use bob dively liquid masking. which is the best way to do it. but choosing the right masking tape is important. don't be tempted to buy something from home depot. you can spray the paint with rustoleum clear or black once it's painted to seal it. but DO NOT paint the body with clear first.
If you 'prime' the area with a matte clearcoat - that will prevent some of the bleeding. As the clearcoat will bleed and seal that gap. But since it is clear - you won't notice it.
Like how you painted your body thank you for the tips I was always afraid to paint my own body’s do to what it would look like lol but I’m sorry but your very pretty woman and I like how you explain everything very well
I know I'm a bit late to the comments on this video, but I just found your channel. I'm loving the content so far. Keep up the amazing work on the videos and the R/Cs. When/if you get more comfortable with airbrushing and decide to upgrade your airbrush, I would recommend the Iwata HP-CS as a great intermediate. I recently picked one up to replace my old Iwata Revolution and I'm really loving this new one so far. I use it for everything from hand tooled leather, artwork, and R/C bodies. It's capable of fairly fine detail work and has pretty good coverage for larger areas as well. 🤙🏼
Very well done I've been airbrushing for a while and I love it over rattlecan. That was a nice intro video and an awesome paint job I wish I had your artistic talent. Keep it up and I look forward to your next video
Hey new to your channel , love the content , I’m building a axial bomber for covid fun 🤩,so I found your paint tutorial awesome job , keep up the great work 🤙
thank you for this video! The link you shared for the air brush set up looks pretty impressive for the dollar. I am curious tho, having done fairly well thus far painting with rattle cans, what do you feel is the reason the PL paint is so fragile? Are you going to be switching it up on the paints and spraying different manufactures colors next? Panels turned out bitchin! 2020 may be the year i set the rattles down and step up my paint game! Keep up the good work and thank you again!
I would look into Createx for the future. They have some unreal waterbase paints. My latest build with the 14k Gold leaf sheets were surrounded by waterbased Createx. Body came out great! definitely digging the design!
Well, I just seen your post on Instagram today about airbrushing and asked what you was using then I come across your video today.. So awesome Great video thanks.. hope my first one turns out half as good as yours did.
I absolutely loved your video! I have a truck I am building and I am going to have my daughter paint my truck and she was thinking of how she's going to paint it. She has some paint brush experience but not the equipment. This video should help a lot! Thank you! By the way :-) you're very beautiful :-)
Oh awesome! Yeah I really like this setup for a beginner. The compressor is really nice, gun is decent and you can always upgrade to a nicer gun as you improve. The setup was $120 when I got it. Looks like it's gone up to $140 so keep an eye on price drops!
I have just bought my first airbrush with the aim to paint up a new body for my RC, love what you did with the Capra, you have a good eye for color and design (IMHO). You are inspiring love your channel glad I found it.
You have done an amazing job on that bodyshell, You'll may want to add some ptf "plumbers tape" to the hose connector on your compressor to help stop any air leaks you may get in the future. When I change tips on my airbrush I use the needle loosely to help keep the nozzle straight when screwing in, Keep up the good work.
Looks awesome, wish my first one had looked like that! lol Just a couple of tips you may find helpful. If you put the pressure up to about 45 psi you can fine tune the airflow easier (on the fly) with the mac valve on the connector. Diluting some cleaner with water and adding enough to cover the bottom of the cleaning pot makes it a doddle to clean. And make sure to drain the compressor tank after each session, otherwise it can rust through :)
I saw your Cappra on a thumbnail the other day and thought that looks cool wonder where she bought those panels, Now I know and great job I think it looks awesome! Great video! I've been scared to try it cause VooDoo knows my situation with nerve damage and didn't recommend I buy one. Seeing this he's probably right.
I would pay you to have this done!! I kid you not, I love what you did with that body. Excellent job on the details. Keep up the great work. Thank you for all the time you take to share with us.
I agree. My eyes dont see all that well and that has kept me from building one over the past 5 years. But this kit from Axial could change my mind on a build attempt.
If you’re looking for some great tips and trick cheap hacks on airbrushing you need to check out this cat lol Bloodshot Airbrushing the things this guy does with an airbrush will amaze you definitely worth the watch. Cheers
That guy's videos is what took a Beginner like me 2 years ago and turned me into selling custom airbrushed bodies today, Just won Pro-Line's Readers Ride of the month last month with my Wintergreen painted Jeep Rubicon Summit. He's definitely a stoner, but the man is picasso when it comes to airbrushing. I can't recomend him enough
Up that game, you can easily decant and spray Tamiya PS thru the airbrush. As it’s thinner already it will spray different than proline, less pressure (20psi) and a .35 tip.
Excellent video, Great job of getting the process and instructions across in an easy to comprehend manner. Thanx!!! Nice job with your paint job also 👍👍
Thank you for not editing out using a lighter color before the final blue. I cannot be the only one that was wondering how it would work but you crushed it!!! Have you heard any positive feedback on the kits for doing make-up? Seems they may be good for detail work or maybe good for nothing. LOL Again thanks a bunch. A+++
Have to admit, you did a super fine job!! I have had a air brush kit for probably 15yrs but never used it yet.And have the proline paints with it as well. Congrats again, if I ever get around to trying it hope it turns out at least half as good as yours!
Just bought a new regulator and air filter, the one that came with my little compressor was super chintzy. The same one yours has. I tighten with not much power and nothing was happening, all of a sudden pop the regulator twist cap snapped right off and air escaped.
I’ve liked and I’m subscribed 😏, Seriously RC Girl ! Your idea of on a budget really doesn’t match mine , Depending on how tight the budget I might whip open a Tin of left over Dulux , if I’m spending a few Pennines I might go car accessory shop and buy a can of aerosol spray paint for a car. Or if splashing out il buy a couple of cans of Tamiya paint
when masking off a body or panel you should make all of your cuts before painting and then just weed out one color section at a time. that way you dont have to try and go back after putting a color on and cut out the next section
Ahhh good point! I wasn't sure if the paint would bleed through the cut sections if they were cut already, but someone below suggested using a clear coat over it to seal it! Good ideas
I liked this video immensely; it's very informative. I've been wanting to get into airbrushing in my model railroading, to weather some of my rolling stock. I've done a little weathering by hand, but your detailed, step-by-step approach makes airbrushing seem easy. I'm going to bookmark this video and review it a couple more times, before I take the plunge. I'm taking your closing comment to heart. Thanks for producing and posting this video. PS: I also appreciate your detailed listings in the commentary for all of the items you mention in the video. That's perhaps the most helpful feature of all.
Hey great vid. Just confused tho, u mentioned you wanted to outline the hood with black and that you were going to do it later, but how would this get done if the paint is already applied “in reverse order” i hope this question makes sense lol
Awesome video, I’ve been wanting to airbrush RC bodies for awhile now. I do airbrush plastic models but doing a RC body is a lot different process in my opinion. A lot of masking tape is used to make your designs and I cannot draw to save my life. I would had loved to had seen more of your masking and drawing. Plus did you pant this RC body on the inside or outside of the body because I’ve been told when painting a RC body you want to paint on the inside to protect the paint and I didn’t hear you say anything about that. But overall you did a awesome job and thank you for sharing this airbrush paint job.
You've inspired me!!! You have a nature talent for this kind of stuff. Didn't know where to start but now I do and can be confident i have decent equipment. Thank you!
So after a few days of use, I did find that the paints are scratching off somewhat easily, so to fully protect my paint job, I ended up spraying on a few coats of clear plastidip over the paint and it's totally protected now! amzn.to/2XMLEGL
its a good idea to do that anyway because it adds strength to the body.
RC GIRL, Did you paint the outside or inside on the lexan panel....??
@@rcmctool2918 she said inside. Lol
@@rcmctool2918 the inside for the colors, and for the parts I wanted matte I painted the matte clear on the outside. For protecting the paint, I used the clear plastidip on the inside
Use crystal clear paint plasti dip will peel.off wait atleast 8 hours and spray inside with crystal clear

Who would have guessed the hardest part of building this kit is picking a paint scheme.
Nice job RC girl. you are very sweet. its fun to see you explore the hobby. God Bless You.
Awesome job!!! I hope I'm a little artsy and can do a halfway decent design
Thanks i ordered all the stuff today from your list. Nice work as always..

Regardless I love your videos. Keep em coming!
Bonjour, super vidéo, jolie Capra, vous avez mis du poids dans les roues ? merci
if you start with a clear coat then that seals the masking tape and you will not get any colored paint under the mask lines.
what? NO!!! you can't paint the body with clear first! you use masking tape or liquid masking. if you get any bleeding it's because you used the wrong kind of masking tape. I use bob dively liquid masking. which is the best way to do it. but choosing the right masking tape is important. don't be tempted to buy something from home depot. you can spray the paint with rustoleum clear or black once it's painted to seal it. but DO NOT paint the body with clear first.
Wow, I thought the side panels were decals... Excellent graphic designs...... 8^)
If you 'prime' the area with a matte clearcoat - that will prevent some of the bleeding. As the clearcoat will bleed and seal that gap. But since it is clear - you won't notice it.

Beautiful tutorial. Beautiful airbrushing. Beautiful girl. That's a three-fer!
You have done an amazing job on that bodyshell, You'll may want to add some ptf "plumbers tape" to the hose connector on your compressor to help stop any air leaks you may get in the future. When I change tips on my airbrush I use the needle loosely to help keep the nozzle straight when screwing in, Keep up the good work.
Looks awesome, wish my first one had looked like that! lol
Just a couple of tips you may find helpful. If you put the pressure up to about 45 psi you can fine tune the airflow easier (on the fly) with the mac valve on the connector. Diluting some cleaner with water and adding enough to cover the bottom of the cleaning pot makes it a doddle to clean. And make sure to drain the compressor tank after each session, otherwise it can rust through :)

You could paint a rig for me any day. Full size or rc wouldnt matter. Cant wait to see the next paint job. Thanks for sharing.
Only thing I would suggest is when you adjust your air pressure on the compressor, adjust it while applying pressure to your Airbrush.
Your videos are just simply terrific. Please keep up the great work.
Turn out perfect nice.

hold on, sanding is your last step for prep? your just air brushing with crap all over your body? you would be better off not sanding it
Great video.
9:47 if your not holding the trigger down (air flowing through the brush) while you adjust pressure you are not setting the correct pressure
Looks awesome!
Great job

Plus did you pant this RC body on the inside or outside of the body because I’ve been told when painting a RC body you want to paint on the inside to protect the paint and I didn’t hear you say anything about that. But overall you did a awesome job and thank you for sharing this airbrush paint job.
Yes good point. On lexan you typically paint the inside, except for the matte clear (if you want a matte look), that goes on the exterior
You are a talented lady. Love your videos!
✌🏻😎🏴Looks cool.
Nice you did a very good job I’m inspired to try airbrushing now!!!
Can also use a scouring pad from the kitchen to scuff the body. Just use a new one (dollar store is good for this stuff)
I'm totally impressed! That is one professional looking paint job and design!!! You always do an awesome video. 👍👍👍👍👍👍😃
Looks great. Nice clean job.
On the inside, is the texture a bit grainy? I used the same paints and the outside result is good but inside, the surface is grainy
shit i paid 190 buck for my air brush alone and it didnt come with any extra tips .
You've inspired me!!! You have a nature talent for this kind of stuff. Didn't know where to start but now I do and can be confident i have decent equipment. Thank you!
Awesome great to hear!!
❤️
Brilliant thanks for showing so professional looking.
Been wanting to get into airbrushing. Im gonna buy a kit and all of those proline paints soon.

Very nice for a first paint job. Most people are lucky to get a good solid, one color their first time. 👍
When ya gonna start using yours, I'd love to try it but not sure if I can.
