B4 Buggy Body

[Phil Manro]

Hot out of the spray booth a B4 Pro-Line Crowd Pleaser Body. It's my favorite one so far it is done in all flourescents (the bright colors look so much better in person). The wing (not pictured) is also done in flourescent tangerine to match the front:

This one doesn't have an owner, so I think I am going to put it on Ebay.

Man this is nice! Great work! What do you think the auction will start at?

[Phil Manro]

I just listed it this afternoon it's item # 5953005843. Listing on EBay is an experiment, but I don't expect too much after seeing many very nice airbrushed bodies go for cheap. I have set a reserve on it at $45, but I am betting it won't hit the reserve.

What do you guys think?

you'll be hard pressed to get a buggy body to go for that...from what I've seen.

Phil, you might want to consider what one kid at my lhs does. During the winter, he'll paint 10-15 bodies, and sell them at the races during the spring. He figures most of the body damage a car/truck/buggy will incur is during the spring when drivers are still rusty. By the time April rolls around, all his bodies have been sold. It's something to consider.

BTW, who makes that tangerine orange? The fades look pretty darn good.

Piggy -

Great idea. I am just going to keep cranking out new designs. I could care less if the sell or not, but I won't give them away. ;) So I guess by default I will build up some stock! LOL

Like I said before in another thread, I think there are a limited number of people that can actually make decent money at this and that's not my goal. Personally, I airbrush becuase I love the creative part and the feeling of satisfaction when a body comes out nice. I am happy just to cover my costs and put a few dollars away for the next airbrush toy (or for the next cool paint color).

I called that orange "tangerine" because that is really what it looks like in person. The real name is Flourescent Sunburst and it is made by Createx. I highly recommend it! ;)
