I painted this with generic spray paint ( on the out side of body ) when I was 14yrs old .

then stripped the paint
the resprayed it black .... it still looks like crap , but it is just a runner body .

I will have the original body set painted professionally some day .

This one is another body i stripped and resprayed. That is how I practice painting . this is my second paint job ever .
basically wanted to practice masking the windows .

I think I can guarantee a winner with THIS one....Here's an old body that I sprayed in about 2 minutes.
It is BAD. Like, REALLY bad! Hahahaha. Even worse was I was in my 20's when I did it. NO patience, just wanted a lid to go running with. As you can see by the missing pieces, the body took a beating. I drive it like I stole it, still do.

While stripping the paint it became brittle and ended up splitting in half. I shoe-goo'd it together, added filler and sprayed it on the outside. Ultimately I gave up on it but I think it's still around here somewhere.

I appreciate the heroism involved in trying to rescue so battered a body ...

...Shoe Goo, filler, external paint...

...these were desperate measures in desperate times!

Mr.Pink, that olive-green + yellow combo--I actually like it! It's definitely unique.

Probably not my worst, but still pretty horrid.

Paint streaks everywhere, poor masking and the colour




Paul.

I got one, but it's from back in the day. I thought I was bad at painting now, I think I was blind hen I was young
I even painted the wheels

I don't have a picture but you'll be able to imagine the horror when I first saw it...

My buddy painted the outside of his Hornet body w/ truck bed liner, its awful!

But, I bet it was well-protected from rock chips & scuffs.

That was his reasoning... but it didn't stick very well... could be because we thrash that car regularly though.

These are better than my best. Lol. Like that first black one. My buggy is all black but don't think my tape job compares.

Kyosho BigBrute body painted from the outside...................................



The original paint job I did when I was 14 was even worse.

Wow...I think I have the perfect name for that paint-job: Cow-moo-flage.
