Metallic burgundy, backed in metallic gunmetal. I think both were Duratrax colors.

I did one of the worst things I could do in this hobby. Painting. I totally suck at it.

No pictures but maybe tomorrow.

LOL they help. Alot lol!

Example of some sticker help with a shoddy paint job:
. .

Woooo! Nice recovery. Your pinstriping reminds me of one of the Porsche 917 liveries.

The "black around the window" trick saved my ProCAT body. Window masks hate me.

B4 electronics installed, finished except for the body. Not a fan of my receiver choice, and don't have the correct transmitter for it, so that may change. Went with a Reedy Ti 10x2, Yokomo esc and KO Propo RSx2 servo.

While trying to find shelf space for it, noticed there is none left and there are a lot of completed rc's that just need bodies. Time for some reorganization.

I got into Mini-Zs this was probably a mistake, because now i keep printing bodies and I haven't even raced the car yet.

Peeled the mask and over spray film and got ready to sticker my resto's. Still have to cut out, paint and mount one wing.

Far from done but this is one of 6 similar projects for the day

Anyone know what this knot is called so I can Google how to undo it?
