Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
I've been trying to increase my painting skills (or lack of). This is my latest attempt. At five colors, it's the most different paints I've used on one body---2 rattle cans and 3 with airbrush. I saw a 10T online that was similar to this and just loved it so I did my best to reproduce it. Pretty happy with the results. Hope you enjoy the pics.

She's looking good. Jealous. Paint is one area I totally just am not good at.
That's why I use the same 3 colors in roughly thirds on the body and call it a day... haha

Re: Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
The thing that held me back for so long was not wanting to mess up a $30 body experimenting with new techniques. I picked up the idea of using old 2 liter soda bottles for practice. After that, I could try all kinds of things without fear of wasting too much money. Alot of ugly soda bottles went in the trash figuring out what doesn't work. ![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
wow, that's a sweet idea... never even thought of that. I had tried a few effects just on scrap cut-outs, but I'm going to do that...Basher67 wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 12:47 pm The thing that held me back for so long was not wanting to mess up a $30 body experimenting with new techniques.

Re: Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
That looks great!
I hate painting. Most I ever do is 2 colors. My last body was only one color. I almost didn't even mask off the windows![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)

Re: Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
I feel your pain---believe me. I had a nitro Revo for a while and it seemed like I was tearing the bodies apart on that truck every other month. It got to the point wear I was just spaying the body in one shot with no masking and putting those traxxas black window stickers on it. With my vintage cars though, I enjoy the building as much or maybe even more than the driving. I still get a little nervous every time I paint one though. They don't always turn out great. This is my RC12i that I painted last night. It didn't turn out too bad, but it is not what I had in mind. Just knowing that I might be screwing up a hard to find vintage body had my blood pressure a little high. Strategically placed decals are your best friend when a paint job doesn't turn out perfect. ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

Re: Basher67's Fresh Painted 10T Body
Thanks. I'm wanting to paint another one for my other T, but I'm searching for a different body. Proline had a nissan hardbody and I believe Dahm's had a cool one. Just a matter of finding one. Even TBG seems limited on their 10T bodies. My other T has a gen 2 chevy s-10 body thats pretty nice but I don't know who made it.
