custom paint job for my son on my rustler. first paint job here are links to the stickers... dinoco blue www.rctotal.com... rusteze www.rctotal.com... www.rctotal.com...
I cant find them...I thought I saved. I just googled lightning mcqueen and on the google search only allowed the "large" pictures. Its a PDF so just has the flames and rusteze stickers on it, I will see if I can find again...
I used clear "full sheet label" avery sticky paper (18665) but when I printed, I clicked "reverse image" on my printer settings to make them print backwards. Then I put just plain white full sheet sticky paper directly over the image (2 layers) so when I peeled off the backing of my original sticky paper, the background of the sticker would be white and not the color my spray paint.
Jason Langgin instead of putting on so many coats of the red, the silver darkens it up without changing the color so you cant "see through" the red being light coats. I learned this the hard way. test on a piece of clear plastic you have to finalize your coats. mine was like 3 light coats of red, 2 of silver. You dont see the silver, it just ads a background without changing the color of red.
Jason Langgin I forget exactly, something like Spectra...it was the red from the hobby store, small can. I did another after this and did 2-3 light coats of red, then followed it up with the same brand of silver and it turned out awesome! Light coats are your friend! Not too thick or it will chip easier later on :-)
@hockeyjr17 go here tinyurl(dot)com/6yydhk4 go down to the bottom of the page. the SECOND post from the bottom has 3 links, 1 to a dinoco blue version and 2 for the rusteze stickers...
@hockeyjr17 search "rusteze stickers" on google and you will see some pages that have all the decals on it. I used 2 different pages just make sure they are high quality...
