I think that looks really sharp!!! Love the color combo. Also love the few decals vs. a hundred of them!!! I am 44 and have always wanted a RC....I’ve waited long enough!!!! 🤪😝👍🏻
Your channel helped me be more confident in the rc hobby bc I have no idea what I am doing, your build videos to your reviews and tutorials. Thanks alot
I finish work at midnight ( Australia) and bam another rc network vid !! Great stuff 😎 Best part of my night is watching these videos when i get home . The dull coat on the tray/ bonnet really set it off 🖒🖒 white stripe with rc network logo's is a great touch of class
I needed this tutorial for a clear Ford Fiesta Proline body that I bought for a custom Rally build project. This video greatly eases things for Me. Thanks!
Right on! It's beautiful! Thank you for this video - much appreciated I have a Baja Bug for my vintage RC 10 and I have a Proline 1966 Ford Truck for my T Maxx... Now it's time for me to get to work! Thanks again. These kind of videos really help!
A perfect class on how to paint Rich! I have a Tekno MT 410, with a Baja VW Beetle body from Pro-Line. Army Green with a holographic chrome engine and American Military Star on the sides and roof. I didn't back the chrome with black instead choosing to back it with the green. I'm so happy I did. The chrome looks so good with a holographic green hue it just came up better than I hoped. First drive on the weekend and on 4S it was crazy fast, the whole car was so impressive. As you know I love my Tekno products, it just wanted to wheelie with the slightest bit of power and then settled on all four wheels. I don't think I got much past half throttle. Amazing MT. Now I have the Pro-Line Rat Rod body that I'm going to paint up, purple backed with gold, some black detailing and the holographic chrome for the engine bay and exhaust pipes. But if I knew how great the Raptor body looked earlier I'd almost be driving around with one on as well. Great work Rich, always learning something and inspired by your finished products.
Awesome! Just Awesome! I love your channel. Very satisfying to watch you work. You also give so many great and useful tips that anyone can grasp, weather a beginner or an experienced hobbyist. Thank you and keep the knowledge coming.
Subscribed! I'm not stranger to tackling art projects on my fullsize cars, and been wanting to do something for my RCs that no one else has seen or done.
That blue is probably my favorite color they make. back it with a black paint and it gets so deep. On my TLR 22 I backed it with the Pearl white and it looks amazing.
I understand that you were specifically using Pactra paints with this body, but in case you didn't know Tamiya has a better choice for the flat sections. I've used Tamiya Polycarbonate PS-55 Flat Clear TAM86055 on many bodies and it works great! : ) Keep up the good work, Jason
Great paint job Rich I'm getting a Axial Yeti Score rtr and putting a Jconsepts Chevy Silverado 1500 Trophy Truck body on it and I want to 2 tone it with white on the front half and the black you used on th back half with a sky blue/silver zigzag stripe to separate it will take 2 stages of removing the stripe masking cause the silver will be between 2 blue stripes thanks for sharing your skills 👍
The RCNetwork oh I will I have a Ford buddy that will put the rapter body on his yeti he wants a green one and I'm a chevy guy so that takes care of that 👍
I feel like an idiot, the whole time I'm wondering why you're painting the INSIDE of the car, not realizing that it's clear and thus, it can't get the paint scratched when it inevitably flips over, if the color is on the inside. Lol, I'm a dumbass. Very interesting final product - it looks great!
Depends on how you want the orange to look, but I’d paint the black first and then the orange last. I’d back the orange with white to make it “pop” more. If you paint the black over the orange, it can turn it darker.
love the outlaw black color im planning to do my 1st paint with the outlaw black will i need to use a clear coat after the black. Also how you get the window look like that
If you are doing 3 colors, blue, white, and black, how many cans of each paint do you need to put on enough? Is one can of each enough? How long do you wait between coats? Do you have to cut out the decals or are they precut? Thanks!
The truck looks sick 🔥 , I wish I looked at this vid before I painted my Baja 5t vw body , I did things backwards I painted the outside not the inside and I scuffed the body with sandpaper so the spray paint can stick to it more better
@@TheRCNetwork ......it looks pretty good the way how I did it even tho I painted it on the outside a 2 tone color red on the bottom and white on the top half , I'm not a basher like all the other baja 5t owners doin crazy jumps and flipping it , the paint job I did should last long and I clear coated it twice so it has a real good shine to it
Another great video, thanks again, always a pleasure to watch your very easy to understand and well layed out vids. Would have liked to see you spray the windows, guessing from another of your videos you used tamiya smoke? 1 light coat? A lot of people on forums seem to have difficulties with the windows. Cheers Rich!!
Hello! After painting my R/C Body, could I coat it inside with rubberized Flex Seal? If it does not react adversely with the paint, it might give the lexan more impact resistance. Just a thought.
Brandon Meyer I would probably do the brown bed first. Take off the portion you want Blue, and paint the brown. Take off the tape and shoot the entire body blue
What truck are you putting this on? Would that body fit on an axial deadbolt? I think the deadbolt has a 12 inch wheelbase, would a 12.3 be ok? Thanks! AMAZING VIDEO!
Do you know the water droplet effect can that be done with lexan paint? Others have said only works with enamel paint is lexan paint enamel base ? Can you give tips if you did this thanks
do most lexan bodies have that film already over it? or is that something you applied? i watched the video and was stunned at the end when you peeled it off but i didn't recall seeing the application of that. seems like a thin plastic film from factory? if someone else knows any help is needed, about to endeavor on a paint job of my own and i want to know all the tricks haha. thank you in advance if you see this.
Absolutely stunning. Not as hard as I imagined. Never done a clear body paint job yet. Thank you for making this video!
Thanks for watching - maybe a subscribe?
The RCNetwork yea I’m subbed already

white stripe with rc network logo's is a great touch of class
Highly agree !
You don't know how many have this paint job with the same body because of this video. It's a hit.
I needed this tutorial for a clear Ford Fiesta Proline body that I bought for a custom Rally build project. This video greatly eases things for Me. Thanks!
Glad to help! Happy RCing!
Thanks. I’m planning to get a Ford F100 Body for my Rustler 2wd VXL, and painting was a lot more different than I thought. Thanks again.
Glad I could help!
hmm, i have a feeling he was inspired by that packaging in the background. great work in all
Quite possibly!
I have watched this more than once and you really nailed it with these colors and this mt410 looks awesome!
Nice music selection at the end.
Great job... the flat colors really pop the whole paint job. It's the little details like those that catch the eye.
Awesome Job Instructional. And Ended with the Coolest Tune..Tyvm !
Thanks for watching!

Just bought the same body. Your video was awesome and now I’m a little more confident in tackling the project. Thanks!
Cool - glad to help!
best rc channel out there. thanks for the tips
I appreciate that!
Sweet!! You can only see one side at a time!! I always say that when I start second guessing my self when taping lines.
Yep, it doesn't have to be perfect

I think you do some of the very best RC videos on UA-cam
Wow, thanks for the great comments
Thanks for taking the time to share this information with us!! Gave me the last piece of the painting design puzzle I felt I was missing!!!
Glad to help! Happy RCing!
Great work! I plan to paint my new clear body with same styling and color
Excellent results! Love the dull coat idea! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Such useful information your channel has given me and my rc channel the knowledge thanks 🙏
Luke’s Vintage Rc Car Restoration ah, cool. Glad to help!
Your transitions are sooooo smooth
Spertok Gaming thanks buddy!
Great video and covered my question about spraying a black behind a metallic lighter color to darken it. Cool idea with the dull coat too!
Thanks for stopping by!
Looking extremely fresh! I need as many tips as possible, as my spraying skills are really, really bad. Great video!
Glad to help out!
Dude that turned out GORGEOUS!!! 😮
Thanks!
Totally great video, and beautiful finished product!
Thanks SVA!
A perfect film to learn a body painting. Thanks
Wow! Thanks for watching. 😃👍
Beautiful paint job!
I had no idea you paint the inside bro.... Thank you for this!
Yeah, first time I ever painted an RC, I was lost figuring our how to paint from the inside
Awesome! Just Awesome! I love your channel. Very satisfying to watch you work. You also give so many great and useful tips that anyone can grasp, weather a beginner or an experienced hobbyist. Thank you and keep the knowledge coming.
Thanks John! Glad to help out!

Thanks Nils!

Thanks for the sub! The biggest pain on RC's is painting them from the inside out. If you can master that, you're golden
@@TheRCNetwork I have a LaTrax Rally shell that I'm going to tackle first. Then I'll look for a new body for my PreRunner and 1/10 project car.
That blue is probably my favorite color they make. back it with a black paint and it gets so deep. On my TLR 22 I backed it with the Pearl white and it looks amazing.
Yep! love the metallic blue!
Sick paint! Good job. Can't wait to try one myself.
Very helpful thank you!! 👍 Looks great!!!
Glad to help, Andy!

Glad to help out - yes, feel free to use the scheme!
Good job.
Hey rich wondering would you consider making a video on how to choose the right diff oil for different terrain
I feel like an idiot, the whole time I'm wondering why you're painting the INSIDE of the car, not realizing that it's clear and thus, it can't get the paint scratched when it inevitably flips over, if the color is on the inside. Lol, I'm a dumbass. Very interesting final product - it looks great!

Great video.
Thanks RC Retro! Make sure and check out all 4 Pactra paint videos....this was the fourth
Amazing paint job dude!
Thanks SG!
Beautiful work
Thanks savvy!
Nice!!!
Very helpful vid thanks 🤔😃👍
Why did you leave the blue so thin ?
The Blue is just a coating..the black is what really turns it blue. It's a two stage paint
Could this work with an N64 since it's already dark inside could I just skip the backer and just use the paint?
Looks dope!!!🤙
Thanks buddy!
I’m using an orange with a little bit of black which color should I do first
Depends on how you want the orange to look, but I’d paint the black first and then the orange last. I’d back the orange with white to make it “pop” more. If you paint the black over the orange, it can turn it darker.

Hello! After painting my R/C Body, could I coat it inside with rubberized Flex Seal?
If it does not react adversely with the paint, it might give the lexan more impact resistance.
Just a thought.
Yeah, sure....I haven't done it personally, but I know lots of people that do. I would test a small section first before going to town though
Where can I get some rc network decals?
The outlaw black is a flat black?
Hello, I am painting a truck body blue with a brown bed. Which color do you recommend I do first?
Brandon Meyer I would probably do the brown bed first. Take off the portion you want Blue, and paint the brown. Take off the tape and shoot the entire body blue
Ok. Thank you for the quick response and advice!
Nice. Hood vents would’ve looked good black.
What truck are you putting this on? Would that body fit on an axial deadbolt? I think the deadbolt has a 12 inch wheelbase, would a 12.3 be ok? Thanks! AMAZING VIDEO!
It's going on a Tekno MT410 - 1/8th scale monster truck. Although the WB is close (13.5"), it's quite wide as well.
@@TheRCNetwork Ok thanks!
Superb
Came amazing love it
Thanks LT!
Great video I learned a lot thx
Glad to help! Thanks for watching!
Came out real nice. I noticed you must have put some tint on the inside windows off camera
Yeah, added some tint to match my other body for the MT410
great job!
Do you know the water droplet effect can that be done with lexan paint? Others have said only works with enamel paint is lexan paint enamel base ? Can you give tips if you did this thanks
I've seen it done, but have never tried
Do you think it will work? Will look awesome? I thought the hood, driver and passenger sides thanks
Too nice to run it.....
I ran it...still have it in fact!
do most lexan bodies have that film already over it? or is that something you applied? i watched the video and was stunned at the end when you peeled it off but i didn't recall seeing the application of that. seems like a thin plastic film from factory? if someone else knows any help is needed, about to endeavor on a paint job of my own and i want to know all the tricks haha.
thank you in advance if you see this.
Yes, most bodies come with the overspray film already applied
Wait i leave the film on there?
How Long did you wait to dry between different colour coats
syumassh I would say around 15-20 minutes
Bro is there a clear Shell with a 1/18 size
Not that I'm aware of....prom Pro-Line at least
