I'm wanting to do a boxart Optima shell, and thinking it would be a lot simpler if I could use a brush instead of sprays.

Do brush on paints not exist any more??

Cheers

If you brush on properly (underside) you can't see brush strokes

Faskolor ordered, thanks!

You can still find bottled Tamiya PC paints in some shops, but I've found multiple layers don't work so well; the top layer dissolves the lower layers while painting.

I'm getting an RC body started for my shelf, the body is a Bolink BL2254 63 Corvette Coupe, and it will be a tribute to the movie The Dead Pool, 1988, with Clint Eastwood. The actual movie car body is a Parma #10218, but this will be a tribute, not...

Mr Lexan hooked me up with a sweet new Baja Bug body. I love r/c baja bugs, Sand Scorchers, Monster Beetles, RC10 Scorchers, whatever, I've always liked the classic baja bug body on an r/c car. So, I've owned quite a few over the years. I've still...

PM Mr Lexan, he'll be able to hook you up. I think he sells them on ebay too.

Just wanted to post a pic of these, as a couple of you asked about them. They are originals and a thing of beauty (IMO).

Stickers:
Put me down for 2 sets if you decide to make them. I would also take any 834b or RPS edition decals if there is interest. How much for one sheet of the AE 6195?

Anyone have experience with these colors, and some pictures of your work? I'd love to see their hard-anodized colors like Candy Green & Blue. It looks like it comes in an aerosol. Does it bond to Lexan like the Pactra paints do?

Last post

I use them on certain instances, mostly blending, shadows and creating textures through lighter colors. They are excellent to paint with, but lacquer-based, so you need to clean the airbrush up with solvent thinners. They are better to paint than...

Has anyone here used Pactra paints in conjuction with Faskolor paints? The two brands each have ideal colors that the other doesn't have, and if it's possible, I'd combine them (not mix them, of course--just paint adjacent areas of a body with...

I have another question along these lines. Has anyone done the FasGlitter/FasKoat technique, then instead of overspraying with a primary color of FasKolor, using Pactra instead? The final color I want to use by Pactra is a nicer shade than...

any of ya know what kind/color of paints were used for the different box art rc10 models?

i'd need to start painting some lids, i think it'd be kinda coo to have them all be based off the color schemes and design off the boxes.

Hi all,
I'm working on restoring an Optima Mid and wondering if the body on the box actually exists. Looking at images on the web, the only body I see (as a repro and on original vintage Mids) is the Turbo Optima Mid and Turbo Optima Mid SE body.
If...

Last post

No, that body shouldn't exist in the wild. The bubble in the side window is to clear the MSC fitted to the Mid. The only time you'll see a Kyosho body without the bubble is in preproduction images.
