Mikes paint jobs

Post by mikea96 »

Here is my first successful paint job with the new airbrush. The first body was a mess, as I did only two coats of liquid mask and it was a mother to peel off.

Cowabunga! Moo!

Looks good! I've heard some brands of liquid mask are had to remove. Which brand did you use?
Frankensteined RC10T3 / Franky Jr RC10GT-e (x2) / A+ stamp / Toy Story RC / Graphite replica / B1.5 BFG 5LTi / Clonewald / Hyper Hornet

It was Bitty designs liquid mask. We did three good coats on my son's b6.3 and it peeled easily.

Mike, that B2/B3 moo body looks fabulous. I still remember when you asked Andy "OG" to paint a nearly identical scheme for you several years ago. He hit you with his random excuse of the week for a long time, you finally told him to forget it, then he listed it on eBay a few days later. :roll:

Ok Masami style b3 body. I did however forget to paint the black highlights along the flames before shooting the green paint but it still looks good.

Used my new mini hvlp for spraying liquid mask and it's so much better then brushing it on. Goes on nice and even.
