My fist paint job in 20 years.. not bad.. not great..

This is the first body I have done on 20 years..

The kid drew up the design and I followed it as best as I could.
That liquid mask is a bit trickier than I expected.

After it was painted we turned him loose with the stickers.

That was my thought as well. The Smile on his face means you got a A+ on the paint job.

Looks good, I am in the same boat. Have a bunch laying around and trying to figure out what I want them to look like.

I strayed from my usual race colors on this. Hard to see in the pics, but I laid down white pearl with gold flecks before spraying the purple. 8)

Pretty sexy basher, I bet it looks super when you see the pearl effect etc.

First time painting one of these(the right way). What a pain masking the inside of the shell, also the fact that your first coat is the on eyou see is tough as there's no touch up. Came out pretty good all things considered.

Nice job!

This is my Bolink Invader with a Bolink Porsche body. Just finished throwing some decals on it after a few coats of paint. Not sure about my choice of colors but I'm pretty happy overall with the results. I've been toying with outlining the body...

Last post

I realized afterwards that if I had used black instead of blue, it would have been the colors of the German flag. Which might not be bad on a Porsche. :roll: :lol:
