Looking for stars and stripes ideas for a b4

[gene465]

I want to airbrush a patroitic theme for my B4. Anyone have a pic of a buggy stars and stripes body? I have a few masks but there is not alot of room on a buggy body. Looking for a few ideas so if you have a pic you could post or a site that has a few would greatly appreciate it! Thanks Gene

that 911 is awseome nice work.

Thanks Slakken, like masterblaster said those are some great bodies! I had seen a variation of the blue flames and stars with the red and white stripes and am looking at something similear. Anyone know how you can get internal graphics made or if you can make them on your computer? The problem with buggies and this theme is that there is not alot of room for much in the way of designs. Anyone else have any buggies out there in a patriotic theme? Thanks

nice paint jobs I'lll post my f350 stars and stripes later on tonight slightly beatup but definetley worht a look

[gene465]

That would be great! I still have not gotten to it yet and am waiting on my blue paint to get here. Still debating on a typical blue with stars nose and red and white stripes going back or blue nose with stars followed by a white then red section. Too many ideas and only one body! *sighs*

here it is....

RespirologyRC, where is the pic? I have another B3 body to do for my son's buggy so one of them are going to get the patriot theme! The other will probably get a flame/punisher skull theme.

Those 2 pics of the 911 and Maxx truck were painted by Skidmark, right??
hmm, its barely readable but the 911 has skidmark on there, but i think it should have been pointed out that you didnt paint those, unless you are Skidmark under a new username.

Sorry I thought the pic loaded:( I am currently at work I can and will post them tomorrow morning!

Chad Phillip's body....... one of my favorite scemes ive seen on a buggy

[gene465]

Red Jim, nice scheme! Got to hand it to Chad Phillips his buggy looks sharp! Some white rims would look better though than the yellow ones. I got my mask in a couple of days ago just waiting for some time to paint my body. Had some repairs to do to my B4, busted a rear ball joint and had to do some work with a dremel to get the threads out. I did find a few other pics and have alot to go off now. Like the blue flames and stars with the stripes but my wind up doing something a bit different. Thanks all hope it comes out as good as some of the bodies posted. Will post pics when I am done!

what about the red and white stripes peeling back to reveal the blue and stars? The ripped look

no pictures, just an idea

love da paint jobs on tha 911 and maxx truck...there so sweet and im a huge fan of flames

[gene465]

Okay, this is like the 3rd body I have done the design is fairly basic but I am happy with the results. Any comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Gene

do a regular flag that fades off into a cool paint job

[microrcdude]

Sweet! What paint did ya use?

[gene465]

Opencarb, I plan on another stars and stripes for a sedan body there is more room to work with there and will be using my airbrush this time. I was thinking of a tearaway flag with some depth and a regular theme on the rest of the car. My local LHS has been closed since the hurricane and will be opening soon so I can get the paints and maybe masks. Microdude I used Pactra spray paint with Bright red, Sprint white, and Metallic blue and I used a stars and stripe paint mask. As I do more bodies hopefully the will get more indepth. I used to paint alot of Graffitti as a youngster back when I lived in NYC, but this is alot different LOL! I can't wait to try liquid mask as I can draw a little bit as well! I tried the liquid mask years ago with bad results I think it was because I did not have it on thick enough! Thanks for the comments guys!
