Life is short. Waste it wisely.
Those look great, I also love the first one. Purple & orange are an eye-catching combo.
The masking process for rattle-cans or airbrushed paint is the same, you can do pretty intricate paint schemes with rattle-cans if you're good with the masking....the main problem I've found with some rattle-cans is the inconsistency of the spray. Some cans spray too thin, and some spit/splatter. For example, rattle-can Pactra CheZoom Teal is very bad for spitting & splattering.
The other advantages you get with airbrushing are custom color-mixing, and fine shading & thin line free-hand painting, which aren't always needed for mask-and-spray paintjobs.
Whow, I didn`t expect so much positive feedback Thank you very much to all of you!
It took a good amount of time for masking but the most time for finding a design that fit my ideas of a vintage paint style. I am a guy that is not so interested into modern style but much more into vintage style. I grew up and raced at this time and I must say the old days were much more colorful mixed with comic style and extremely nice and stylish decals. Today you won`t be able to find nice decals. Not a single company produces colorful decals like Novak did in the old days. I think they were decal kings back in their days. The first shell is also my personal favorite. It`s from one of my two worlds car projects. The purple/fluo red/pink and orange turns out as a really perfect combination. Combined with vintage decals it is perfect old team style that I love so much! The only problem as Coelacanth mentioned are fine details or shading which are nearly impossible with a rattle can. The orange is a mixture of coats btw. fluo yellow and pink. I think I should also try a airbrush for my next attempts because I love details, shading and transitions. All your feedback is a perfect motivation for me to do more shells, soon.
When disassembling and ressembling I found there to be .003 clearance between the con rod and the crank. Other then that the engine appeared to be new out of the box.

It doesn't sound like the engine to me. Nitro engines are pretty temperamental and usually wont run if something is wrong .
If it were my truck and you were sure it wasn't something like loose mounting bolts, pipe rubbing the chassis, gear mesh, or...

I masked all but the Metallic green, shot that and then trimmed out for the flourescent green and shot it, then cut out the window lines and hit them with yellow and then pulled the rest of the masking off and shot the fade (with a fan on the shell...
I have my usual 3-tone paint job I do... Simple thirds... sometimes front to back, sometimes back to front. Maybe do things at an angle. Just looking to up my game a little.
Anyone have any good simple rattle can tricks to get some good effects?...

That marble effect sounds cool. I think I may have to give that a try! Thanks.
I don't need no stinkin' airbrush :D
actually, If I had an airbrush I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it.
This was done with pactra spray cans: black, fl blue, fl yellow, and white to back 'em.

Heres a few that I did recently on my vintage race cars.
I always buy Pactra or Tamiya rattle cans even for my shelfers. $7 a can give or take. It really adds up and there never seems to be quite enough for a second shell. :roll: Is there a cheaper source of rattle can paint with lots of color choices...

Just wondered if anyone has tried the Krylon Fusion paints? (I think that is what it is called) It is supposed to bond with plastics.
I've used it, but bonding with plastics and bonding with Lexan are two totally different things. You probably...
Okay, I know I joined this site to revisit my youth, see the awesome rides that everyone is building/has built, get ideas for my own. But I swore to myself I would only build runners. So I start taking apart the team car I picked up, gonna clean it...
