I'll try this...a couple Associated stickers, #10 stickers and the only Toyota related stickers I have. I've been trying to find some Toyota stickers but I cant seem to find any with out paying twenty or so bucks for a whole sheet that has one or two Toyota stickers on it. Should look less like the jrx-t now.

This one would be perfect and if I could find it I would get at least 2 of them

I'm guessing its a dual action brush? What brand? Is it gravity or bottom feed?

He has a Badger Patriot 105, that is a dual action gravity feed!

Thanks Rod, I haven't been online to answer.

Rod should know, it's his airbrush, or was :D None of these paint jobs would be possible without Rod letting me use his airbrush gear to try my hand at the craft. He gave me the airbrush, paint and other airbrush gear in exchange for a bunch of painted bodies. An Iwata Silver Jet air compressor was also included as a sweet ass gift too. Needless to say Rod doesn't have to pay for painted bodies anymore and I will forever have better paint jobs :mrgreen:

Next up is a RC10 graphite box art paint job. I wish I was home to look at the box closely. I'm sure I can find good photos online though.

I would be happy to. I think I can do these in my sleep now, or even after a few beer :D

Actually, most of my work is done at work :lol: This means no beer and probably straighter lines. I'm pretty fortunate to have ample down time at work and lots of work space to boot. The best part is that I get paid for it :mrgreen:

PM me if you want

Graphite RC10 box art complete :D

I will slap anyone in the face if they ask me to paint one of these. I will fly around the world, find you and bitch slap you, have a beer with ya and leave :x :mrgreen:

Really, six colour and tint, that's BS. Getting the stripping down was time consuming and trying to say the least. By far the lest enjoyable thing I've painted yet. On the other hand, it turned out awesome lol! :mrgreen: Just to clarify, the front window is not tinted but the others are.

I'm using tape, I haven't gotten brave enough to try something different. I've developed masking techniques using tape that I feel comfortable with. I'd have to try a whole new method of laying out patterns with a mask, oh no :lol:

once you use liquid mask you will never go back .. painted a body on the weekend with tape .. could have shaved off 3 hrs of tapeing if i had the mask

Having just spent way too many hours masking the RC10 Graphite box art body I'm am really tempted to mask the next one.

My dilemma now is that the Graphite car body that is painted for a restored graphite car looks like a perfect match for the gold pan car I painted the Ivan Stewart body for :roll:

You´ve certainly gotten the hang of this paint thing.
Nice work
