Flame!

[deluxepaint]

Here is what I want to do to my car. I think I should use achrilic for the yellow flame and spray paint with mask for the red and black.

You need to use polycarbonite paint. Spray paint will chip off, and i believe acrilic wont stick

[Fluke]

actually some spray paints stick.i think its named "tof" or Zof" or something like that.Just don't use the ABRO brand.Acrilic won't work.i tried before

[deluxepaint]

Here's a couple. Tower has a lot of different kinds of paint. If you want chrome the spazstix is the best I've seen.

I like the design, but be sure that you paint the rims with acrylic paint.. The other stuff does not work that well, it attracs grass...lol

thanks guys, I just start working on it, I hope it will be good.

It's finally done!, but I mest it up :), I used tape band for masking , it's not a good idea. because it's hard to take it out after painting, also it is making some bubbles and paint going through the bubbles. I could use layer mask or something.

I also used acrylic for the flames, it was the second mistake :) it makes artistic kind a looking but not like an professional car paint, it's looks kind a cheap mexican bodyshop painting or something :)

black paint not so bad, I used regular spray paind for plastic, it makes great solid black and also stick very quickly, I think I will use it for the other colors for next time.

so it was my first try, and I loved to work on it, I hope my second try will be better than this :)

that came out really nice. did you use the acrillic paint and then swirl it with a brush or something to give it that effect?

[deluxepaint]

After the masking I paint it with spray black paint, and then I used brush for red flames

[tadium54]

is that a Kyosho TR-15?

[deluxepaint]

No smartech, but I am not sure what was the model number

[Cosmo]

Looks like you need to back the flames with white to make them stand out. Other than that, it looks good.

[RC10racer89]

Yah it looks awsome! Like Cosmo said if you back it with white it will help make the flames stand out better. Silver works great too. It good just be the lighting in your pictures though, but a good backing of a white or silver should really help those flames pop out. Heck that paint job can't be bad if you used 4 :)'s in your post up there. Glad you have fun working on it.
