New crawler body
Posted: Thu Nov 27, 2014 2:04 am
I was bored tonight, and decided that I'd paint an F150 Raptor body I got recently, and put it on one of my crawlers, since I didn't like the body that came with it.
I've never painted a body before, so I had no idea how long it would take, with drying time,etc. Turned out to be about 6 hours, most of it cutting the masks and dry time between coats of paint.
It's nothing fancy at all...just going to be my everyday runner/climber. It's going to get beat up, so no fancy details...just straightforward factory trim - more of a let's see how this painting thing goes. It's certainly not perfect, but I'm pretty happy with it for my first try.
