What kind of flat black paint do people use for the *outside* of the body, to paint in the roll cage areas? Is there a flat black paint meant to go on the outside? Or are they just using normal paint, or even the Krylon fusion plastic paint?
I do the same thing as Terry, but use Pactra Outlaw Black on both inside & outside. The outside paint dries to a semi-matte finish. The inside paint is just for when the outside paint gets scratched or dinged, it doesn't show as much. Using Pactra or other Lexan paint ensures a good bond with the Lexan inside & out.
Another box art finished product coming between these two. Hopefully this weekend, time permitting (I really need to prioritize and put Project Scr8p at the front of the list, but we'll see what happens). It should complement my SNIB RC10GT well.

justinspeed79...? You don't actually have to drill the extra holes in the chassis... :wink:
No thanks, not right now anyway. I already have the motor mount for my project covered. IMO, this is the best motor mount for a tub chassis GT. :)
Thought I'd share my XXX-CR with box art painted body. I can't take credit for the work-I bought it and this and another body were in the box. The previous owner claims it was in the box sealed when he got it. He seems to think Losi sent some out...

That is swweeett! That is one lucky find! Makes me want to go buy that XXX-CR that has been sitting on my LHS shelf for the last year or so. Love that box art, now that it's cold and snowing I think I will tackle my XX, and JRX2 (courtesy of...
Looking to see if it is possible to do a box art style paint job but using translucent paint?

You may have seen this, but DemZ kept the body of his partially clear and I think it's a pretty cool look. Not quite the same of course, but worth a look. 8)

Search the site for Box Art paint.
Tamiya Camel Yellow is pretty close if you want to use a can.
I'm looking for a Tamiya paint code for the blue on the box art for the Losi Jr-2, Junior 2. Looks like a metallic blue , maybe?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

This wing is painted in Duratrax metallic blue, backed in metallic silver.
I did collect some Team Losi and TLR box art cars and where those paint styles comes from. Below are not listed Kinwald, Matt Francis and Adam Drake cars, since those were so obvious.
