All of my paints are linked in the description for anyone who was wondering where to find them!
Ryan Harris it’s hard for me to find liquid mask. Does plastidip do the same thing?
I am not able to find the paints listed. Nor the airbrush system, maybe I am missing it somewhere. Great video as always!!
@@sebtarta same, i don't see it anywhere
Chris McRoy gotcha, thank you for the answer
What liquid mask are you using in this video? I want to try this stuff out but i couln't find the one you use in this video with the jar being in red writing. If anyone know please answer the question. Thank you for sharing, great video Ryan.
After a 20 year break decided to get back into the hobby you’ve done a really good job of helping me get caught up on the new wave of tips and techniques. I wish your channel much success and growth. Have a great day brother.
RC Car Action is sharing your video via our homepage and newsletter, glad to send viewers your way. Good stuff!
That's awesome! Thank you very much for the share and support! :D
i have a complete set of every RC car action from 1986 to 2005 in pdf format. love feeling the nostalgia i get when reading through mags i grew up with. first hobby kit i bought was a kyosho outrage ST. I saved for a year working as a delivery boy for a pharmacy when i was 13. RC10GT, NXT, XXX-NT Kinwald, HPI RS4, TA01, RC8.2, HB D8 Atsushi Hara, TRF-801 XT. I will always love this hobby, and thank you for the great magazine.
Thanks for breaking that down step by step. I'm a visual learner, you really helped a lot.
Such quality videos, Ryan! I’m seriously blown away by the cohesiveness. You have a incredible skill that brings pure happiness to others, bravo 👏🏽!!
Clearly, this guy gets paid by the product he uses. Yes it’s a good video but it’s shitty product. I would never buy liquid mask as a rookie. You will ruin your car body by painting this liquid mascon. It is complete junk.
If ryan cuts off his beard, would he be Ryan styles hairless. Lol just kidding great upload.
Paint the outside of the body with your main scheme, then on the inside put gun metal silver or some other metal color so that when the body is scratched it looks like there’s metal underneath the paint. It’s really cool
most awesome comment ive read this month, thanks man!
Nice idea for road type rc (sedan), but this is a buggy tho, the paint would just all rip off after 1 track session.
@@golferchin76 Arrma has done it from the factory with the notorius and outcast. you would be surprised how long it lasts.
Good to know
Restoring a 1959 Chevy Apache Truck. It has a very elaborate Chrome Badge that has "Chevrolet Apache" block letters raised on a black background. This video really gave me some good ideas of how to mask the letters and repaint the background. Thank You. Great presentation.
Completely off topic here: but I LOVE your Tamiya Jaccs Accord on the shelf 😍
I am a partial blind colour but i love to see a paint job like this and it is motivate me to try .. btw i just buy an rc buggy it is my first rc . It is not a new rc , i have a plan to paint a new body shell .. thank you very much .. God bless you !!!
What the hell UA-cam? Ryan does as much for the RC community as anyone show him some love and fix your algorithm. He should have at least 500,000 subs.
Great video man! I've been in the RC hobby for 30 plus years but I've never done any airbrush work. I raced my RC10T a little bit back in the mid 90's and it was a blast! However, I dropped it to start building and racing my 1968 Dodge Dart drag car. I ended up having an accident on an ATC in 2000 that left me paralyzed from the chest down. But I made a special adaptive controller and I still enjoy driving my RC cars! Right now I have a 2wd brushless slash, a Tamiya land cruiser rock crawler and a TC4 that my friend is in the process of painting a 1970 Dodge Challenger body for... Although I don't get to drive them much I still enjoy collecting and customizing them! Anyways, thanks for the great video!
Seems like I have to watch all your videos at least twice because there is so much valuable info. I'm going to start taking notes. hehehe Keep on Keeping on Sir!
Here’s a couple of tips that always worked well for me:
I always used to trim the body first, then as part of the masking process, would put a skirt of masking tape around the perimeter of the body. Depending on the body/application, you can clearly see where you need to trim - and let’s be honest, it would totally suck to have a killer paint job totally ruined by a mistake made trimming the body after the fact. The other thing is that I could neatly sand the edges for a smooth feel all the way around.
I haven’t kept up with what’s available today for RC (Pactra was the Main brand back then), but I used to use acrylic-based Createx paints - they offered a wider variety of colors, and were very easy on the internal seals of the airbrush.
As an on-road racer, I always kept a can of Pactra spray paint in white and black handy. I don’t know what it was about the formulation of those two colors, but they were the best at allowing for easy cleanup of the tire dust after runs. If you run Nitro, the RC paint formulation also seals and protects your acrylic paint underneath from being eaten by fuel residue.
This video was SOOO awesome and helpful... up until now I have been using Tamiya tape for curves and blue painter's tape, and rattle cans... I may look into getting an air brush soon for fading colors or doing shadows and such... and eventually might look into trying the liquid mask as well.
One thing you should try, before you do the final color, maybe try some Tamiya Lame Flake, it's a clear with multicolor flake in it, amd jist looks awesome backed with pearl white, metallic or fluorescent colors... I have also used it to lightly coat the windows after peeiling window masks. It makes the clear a touch hazy, but when the light hits the body the windows light up with beautiful sparkles...
Do you ever paint bodies for other people, or just your own?
Thanks for the video!
Love your calm informative presenting style. I’m wanting to spray my 1:10 buggy bodies, this video will be very helpful. Thanks 😊
I loved watching this! I’ve been getting into the hobby! Love the content that’s out there! This is by all means a compliment Ryan! You remind me of a Twitch streamer ChocoTaco! You’re chill and really cool like him!
Best paint tutorial I've seen, thanks. Very helpful.
Very straightforward explanations with many useful tips&Trick! Well done mate! This small business need a guy like you to encourage people to get up and enjoy hobby!!!
I just got my hands wet for the first time with airbrushing yesterday. This video was super helpful and key for my transitioning from rattle can to air brushing. Never would have thought my RC hobby would lead to another new hobby. Thanks a bunch for making this video Ryan!!!
Best RC paint video I have seen on you tube. I really wish i would have watched this before my last attempt at a paint job. Now you just need to make a drive faster video!
You da man bro...no one goes into more details than you. I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thanks
Man, Such an incredible demonstration❗SO interesting (and scary)... I'll do my best 😬 Pete
Thanks for sharing Ryan, excellent video to help novice wannabe airbrushers like myself lol There's a lot of gratification when you're done painting and finally get to rip the plastic off !! Love your videos Dude !!!
Hey Ryan nice paint job just curious what are you using for lexan body airbrush painting these days what brand,additives for adhesion if any and coats I’m new to airbrushing
great video, curious why you don't trim the body before painting?
I find it easier to drill body holes and trim, then paint, not sure why most folks choose to paint first them trim. What am I missing?
Not all cars has body holes, for example TLR 22 uses hook and loop fastener, to hold the body on. But for sure, when you have body holes, you have to mark them before paint.
@@presingt still doesn't answer my question
Excellent video. Funny how you draw and cut with your left hand but paint with your right. Great free hand work. Would love to actually meet up at a race some day. Your a great attribute to this hobby.
Robert Storley I didn't notice that he draws and cuts with his left and paints with his right hand. I do the exact same thing although I am trying to make myself paint with my left hand because I should be able to paint better with my left hand because it is the hand I write with. I painted with my right hand when i used rattle cans and it stuck when I switched to airbrush. Even if I am writing something with the airbrush it comes out ok with my right hand if I try to write with a pen with my right hand good luck lol
Awesome video. I have always wanted to do this and I’m excited to complete a few designs of my own.
Very professional look. Great job.
Fantastic tutorial Ryan really helpful tips
I gave airbrushing a shot after watching this video a few times! Dude you rock!
matt walsh that's awesome dude! Hope they turned out nicely 👌
I soo jealous your channel is professional. keep it going man.
you need to come up to nc in December for jconcepts final.
Thank you for the love my dude! I really appreciate it! I will do my best to keep making some fun content :D Oh and I definitely sub'd to your channel just now!
yeah his content is excellent and i subbed and watch almost every video but his vids are very home made/ameteurish (but he knows this) not a dig on you dude.
Lovin' that Phantom Pro toolbox in the background :)
Old school!
Ayyyyy! That thing is one of my favorite pieces of the hobby! My dad had it since I was born haha
Damn new b6 and b64 doing big things man. Keep up the good work man enjoying the videos. Makes it even better your in Florida and out there recording at the races.
Thanks man! I will get a video up soon with a review on my recent switch to AE
Hi Ryan, I liked your video, it was really usefull. Can you please tell me what type of paint do you use, ie water based or acrylic?
Hey Ryan. This is the first time I got a chance to catch your video. What kind of airbrush and air compressor do you use?
This was a really good tutorial. Finished job looks amazing, well done! Thanks for sharing.
Ryan - Awsome video! Thank you so much. Quick question for you, what airbrush are you using and compressor ?
Great video very informative please keep it up. I enjoy your wrenching videos also it helps when I have a problem with my car as where to start.
So is it ALWAYS dark colors first or was black the first color because it’s the most background color in this scheme? Let’s just say for some reason someone wanted to do this same scheme but outline the flames with black, would they then paint those flame outlines first?
I'd be interested in seeing a video where you talk a bit about the cars you have on the wall/shelves behind you.
Have a great day!
I'd love to do that! I will put on the list of videos to make :D
fantastic work! quick question did you need to dilute the paint with thinner?
Dumb question... after spraying the liquid mask on how hard is to cut your design i:e is it pretty easy to keep a smooth cut or does the knife drag bad? That being said would a scalpel type tip work better? Im afraid of cuting to deep
Excellent work and insight into painting an RC body.
Great work! What paints do you use?
Very good job you make it look easy. I tried it a few times. I suck at it. It was easier to pay the guy at the track to do it for me. 😁
I like using a rounded blade for cutting the mask. It helps keep an even "contact patch" for cutting and for me helps to control the cut without deeply scoring the body.
Liquid mass is complete junk. It is only for professionals. If you are a rookie, you will ruin your RC car body do not attempt not unless you are a professional with using liquid mask.
@@dannyromine4002 Yeah, I guess you're right. People shouldn't try anything until they have professional level skills.
Do you prefer to use polycarbonate paints over the waterbased paints & do you find you waste alot of paint
Hey! I had that transmitter when I was a kid. The one on the lower shelf. What's the make and model of it? I recognize it but don't remember the name. 0:17
I got it along with a Futaba FXT Stadium Truck for Christmas one year. I guess it would have been 30 years ago. I would have been 10. I gave up presents from each of them so that they could pool the money into one big present. I remember sitting there impatiently waiting for everyone else to finish opening their presents so that I could go start assembling the truck. Good times!
Shouldn't you cut the body out & drill the body post holes when the body is clear, so you can see the lines and where to align the posts on the body?
You are a pro I'd pay you to paint, just one thing though, I think you should cut the scrap from the body even before you wash it because after the paint it may crack and peel while doing so!!!
Great video as always Ryan
Hey Ryan. What brand of liquid mask are you using these days. The stuff from Bob Dively is hard to come by these days. All I see is Bittydesign. BTW: Really enjoy all of your videos.
I can't find any liquid mask. what happened that the supply dried up?
I did a lot of RC a while back and after cleaning the inside of the body we would use very thin sandpaper to scratch where we would paint so it would adhere better, it wasn't visible at all once the paint dried. Don't sand windows though. :)
This is so fascinating to watch. I’d like to have a go at painting my own 1/5th cars.
Can you send me a link to the airbrush you are using please? Also- you have incredible content! I look froward to all the new vids to come. Thanks in advance
Have you perhaps considered hydro painting ?? This will give amazing paint work, and requires little to no equip and also cheap..
Nicely done on these videos! I used to race when I was a kid and freshman at college. Looking to get back into the hobby, but only used spray cans as a kid. Question: What compressor do you use and do you need a hood ventilation when painting these RC bodies inside with an airgun? thanks
Hope you get setup and back to the track soon man! I use a pancake compressor from Harbor Freight and drop the PSI down to about 45. I always paint outside so I don't need any special ventilation equipment
@@RyanHarrisRC what airbrush did you use in this video? It's not in the description.
Brilliant tutorial, have been painting using vinyl masks but will now try liquid and be a little more creative - thank you!
Nice paint ryan
Wow learned some tricks here. Great content thanks. Till the next one. Primo
Love the vids man, I raced for years but took some time off due to being in the military, just starting to get back in it
Awesome! What classes you looking to run now?
I'm currently building a b6d and a t5m, here in El Paso where I'm currently stationed the classes are pretty limited
Michael Browning nice! Good luck with the builds and on the track 👍
Im about to be spraying my first body for the first time ever and know absolutely nothing about it.. i noticed after you finished painting you didnt cover the entire inside with anything to protect the paint.. like i notice when i buy a already painted body it has like some sort of white covering. Assuming thats so it doesnt get scratched easily. What do they use for that?
Great video man. Do you thin your paint? If so, what thinner and how much?
Man that looked so easy watching you do it. Awesome job! One question is there a reason a lot of buggies leave the wing clear? Thanks
Justin Lamb I think it’s just because they get beat up so much and their really an inside or outside to it like the body so paint will be exposed to all the crashes and start to flake off
@@silentassassin1108 Exactly this. I used to race 1:10 buggies in the 90s and we'd consider wings as disposable items. Buy a stack of universal wings, maybe use up some decals and throw your race number on there, but that's it :)
How do you still see your mask lines after painting the darker colors?
Sometimes the ‘sharp’ edges of the body affect how much paint is (collected/attached) due the spraying.
The last few years have been really tough. Thank you for ALL your great videos and the helpful advice in them....👍
Try using transparent black for realistic drop shadow effects looks really nice
Good work! I’m just about ready to paint my Avante, reckon I’ll give this a go.
would it be a good idea to practice onthe shell's of hard plastic packaging or is that a whole different material?
Nice video man.. Now I know i can make a design on my trucks ..lmao.I was always good at flip flop or solid colors but never knew about the mask.!!!!!! I'm so excited and I got a new truggy just few days ago,..!!! still clear,!!!!!! nice job.!
Nice paintjob
this is nice, i have been into 3d printing for a while now, over a year...was gonna get into 3d modeling painting, printed old man logan..rc uav is my main foccus...this is nice tho
Well done Ryan!
bravo ...well done..truly a tutorial to watch and learn from
Nice job!
What size nozzle are you using for the liquid mask and at what psi
hey what liquid mask are you using i tried to reduce my liquid mask to spray in my air brush but it just ruined my liquid mask didn't mix at all.
Wow. Won’t think I’ll have the patients or slight of hand, but this is a really good video. I’ll stick to my plain white schemes. Lol
I know this might be a stupid question, but I've been looking at other videos and I was wondering will blue painter's tape work the same. I was planning to cover most of the body in the blue painter's tape then but out the design from there but I wasn't sure if it would work as well or the same. Thanks!
PS: It's gonna be a flame design like this, but a little simpler like without the shadows. Also going to do it in 3 colors for a stadium truck body.
Fantastic tutorial! Thanks
Great video. Very detailed thank you
Awesome tutorial! 🙌Very clear thank you👍😁
Thanks a lot for this tutorial! Just two questions: How many layers of each colors did you spray? Would it be possible to already cut all the separations then peel when needed or the paint will go into the interstices?
Maybe 5 yr old video, but it's still how i paint my bodies to thjs day.
Great video just the same.
Hey Ryan! Thanks very much for ALL your videos! I've been getting back into the hobby after a 14 year hiatus and you're videos have been tremendously helpful! I do have one question. I noticed you're using Duratrax paints in this video. I'm trying to find Lacquer based paint for lexan bodies, and having trouble finding any online. Where do you get the Duratrax bottles of paint for your air brush?
Thanks again Ryan!
You can cut all of your design before painting when using liquid mask. Infact, most professional painters do it that way.
Of course normally the pin stripes would be painted first when done that way. Otherwise doing it like you did might be the better option.
I’m just getting back into RC and am soaking up your videos. I know this one is an older video but I’ve painted 2 bodies for my 22 5.0 in the last 2 weeks and I’m thinking I’m at my limit in skill with a rattle can. Do you have an airbrush kit you recommend that comes with a compressor and gun, or ala-carte combo you like?
Thanks
Great work
Great tips Ryan, I’m just getting into racing going to run my silly slashes this year but next year lol watch out...love your new 1/8 e buggy....think I’m going to follow your route and go with the A team. Instead of tlR
Ryan I found your page and habe been watching all your videos. I really enjoy them and I think they appeal from the rc newbie to the veteran. I am curious when you do the window trim how do you keep the thickness on the line so perfect?
Thanks for another great video. Love your channel. When Im brave enough I will give it ago.
Do you wash the areas where you remove the mask ? Was curious if the mask leaves an agent down that stop the paint from adhering?
Hi Ryan - do you use the laquer thinner with the liquid mask? If so, what proportions?
Also - do you know what size needle your airbrush has and what air pressure? Thanks.
Cool,awesome video good production.....
Thanks 🙏
What kind of compressor do you have,and what PSI are you using? I just got into Airbrushing my bodies a couple months ago, and have been using Faskolor and Wicked paints. But I can't seem to get the paint to flow right, or it's too thick. I went back to rattle cans for now but have about $800 tied up in airbrushes and a TC20T air compressor with tank. I don't want to get discouraged, but I don't want to be screwing up body after body. Are there any polycarbonate airbrush paints that you can spray straight from the bottle without having to reduce?
Could you upload a link to your airbrush kit you use? I've seen a few in the $80-100 range.
I legit don't ever need to know this but I really enjoyed it anyways. Nice nice
You need this for everyday life tbh
that's fair. you gonna watch my makeup tutorial?
why not😂
Do you have any bodies that are already painted for sale? I'm looking for one for my Tekno EB410.2
Great video brother , great showing at SS also
The paint looks awesome
Thanks man! It was a fun day with some fresh paint for the cars :D
