This was done with rattle cans and an attempt at carbon fibre on the hood.

[ToxicSoup]

That looks awesome! How did you do the fade with spray cans?

Very nice! That checkerboard looks extremely irritating to do. Did you have to mask all those individual squares, or was it a precut pattern? What car is that btw?

[HKS]

My race body done with cans.

[orbitron]

mep - fade just by aiming the can and use the overspray to your advantage.

I Wish it was pre cut, it was individual masking for each and every square, looks amazing on the track though :)
Car is a Protoform made Alfa Romeo 2.0 (190mm)

Orbitron- I see what you're saying. Thanks.

Ive Done a few other bodies, none were totally amazing, and i can't seem to find pics! im already planning another body but im keeping this under wraps... :D

[mep]

HKS- It looks green in the pic. How do you "back" a color?
Raymo24- how'd you do the flames?
rieley- not telling, eh? lol I look forward to the next one.

[HKS]

you "back" a color by first spraying a coat of the main color you want, in this case flo. yellow, and then spraying a couple coats of the under color-silver.

here's one i did not too long ago..

[raymo24]

mep -
I'm old school and still use masking tape (or vinyl masking) instead of liquid mask.
I drew those flames out on paper, transferred them to tape and cut them out. You need to reverse them for the second side if you want the sides to match - which of course really is not necessary because it's supposed to be fire! :D

But everyone makes the sides match on their car, it does look better!

[mep]

bootspike- that's new. what body?
HKS- what does backing do?
Raymo- you had to draw the flames? ouch.

something i did a while ago when i was bored..i have good pics somewhere

[mep]

HPImax- I like! That's a pretty sweet shell. Of course, I can't really judge these bodies; I haven't even painted my first one yet grumble grumble...
Rieley- Those colors work well together. Is that four headlights on the front though?

[boostspike]

bootspike- that's new. what body?



Huhhh???

[mep]

"that's new" indicating that your car's body is of a new style than other bodies in this thread.
What body is that? In your pic.

1. i didnt paint the body, but i wish i knew who did so i could give them credit
(unless you think its ugly)
2. The rock is a piece of the kingdome, i jumped the fence and got it at night
After it blew up.

[mep]

very nice body. Are those spinners?

[lerningdriver]

cool body, and the rock is what??

[mep]

lol Yes, do tell.

[dazigzagman]

yes those are spinners. ive seen a guy who changes the color of the metal, but i forgot what the process is called. And the rock is from the kingdome that was in seattle, they blew it up to put seahawks stadium there. I jumped a fence at night and grabbed one.

[mep]

lol good job. You sure you don't remember the process? Anything about it? btw where exactly do you get spinners? I had no idea they existed. Are there any that fit on 2.2 in. truck wheels?

[dalejrfan8]

The spinners are from Proline. They are only for maxxes right now but they are coming out for tc's.

[mep]

Guess I'll have to wait for truck wheels :mad: :( :( :(
Oh well, I'm short on cash anyway.

[radikarz]

If you've got a CEN, I've got the bodies to turn it into a latemodel supremohttp://www.radikarz.com/files/harley_lm_frnt_ls.jpg
or maybe this........http://www.radikarz.com/files/hkooters_lm_header_ls_front.jpg
If you need one just call.

[Rdub202]

TC spinners are out now along with the slammed H2 and EXT di u think 2.2 spinners will come?

[gizmoguy303]

Team Losi MF2. One word. DOWNFORCE. :p

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v291/gizmoguy303/all_done2.jpg

[mep]

The spinners better come! :mad:
2.2 in wheels are pretty popular. It seems to be the natural progression...

Does that bod really plant your truck? Doesn't look like it would.

hey radicarz- those bodies are sweet!!! :D :D Very "old school" yet sweet-lookin. I like! In case you couldn't tell.

[gizmoguy303]

Does that bod really plant your truck? Doesn't look like it would.

It probably doesn't provide that much more downforce than a regular truck body does. I just like to joke around with people about it. :)

[mep]

? ok lol
