Cool Custom Rattle Can Paint Job! How To Spray An RC Body With Duratrax RC Car Paint | RC Driver

For some reason, painting an RC body scares people and we get it. If you’ve never painted a body before, you’re probably worried about how to mask the body, how to hold the paint can, how far away to spray it, how much you spray and many other things. But painting a body doesn’t have to be scary. Sure it takes some practice and you might mess up the first body or two. But painting can actually be pretty easy if you take your time and have the right tips to help you out. We think you can do it and create a great paint job with some “how to” tips and tricks you’ll find in this video. Greg has to paint a body for his Arrma Infraction, so he grabbed a bunch of Duratrax Spray paint and filmed the process of painting the body. There’s tons of great info here to help out anyone from newbies to pros.
Note: Always wear a mask and spray paint in well ventilated areas.

    I just painted a JConcepts Ford body with Duratax paint too. I found that although the cans are bigger than Tamiya, I still didn't get satisfactory opaqueness from certain colors with a single can (I was using racing red). But I agree with them spraying very evenly and smoothly. I also used bright silver for the bumper areas and lightly backed the red with it and it covered just fine. Finally I used their "backing black" to finish everything, and it is very opaque and covers well. I highly recommend that "backing" black paint.

    DIY SPRAY PAINT CAN SHAKER- WHATS NEEDED: - Reciprocating Saw - 2 Old Reciprocating Saw Blades - One 18” F-clamp - 2 bolts, 2 lock washers, 2 nuts - Small piece of 400-600 grit sandpaper with adhesive backing or you will need glue to attach the sandpaper to the 2 clamping pads on the F-clamp. Which glue depends on the material of the F-clamp attachments pads. I found the added sandpaper was necessary and affective in keeping the spray cans from sliding out during the shaking process. Go ahead and attach sandpaper any time during your build. DIRECTIONS: -Drill 2 matching holes near middle to tip of the saw blades. -Drill matching holes in end of F-clamp. -Place the two blades together and attach them to the F-clamps using 2 nut/bolt/washer set and then slide the doubled up saw blades into saw (yes most saws will hold the 2 blades at once without issue) - Clamp paint can into F-clamp. - Attach saw blades into your saw. - Start shaking away ( START SLOW FELLOWS )

    Do you have a specific liquid mask that you prefer for polycarbonate bodies? I'm new to the hobby in general, but have started to apply masking tape to a clear body to have my own custom look. It's not difficult to apply masking tape, but it is very hard getting fine details such as logos...especially after painting over it I can't even see the lines of where i cut into the tape. Thank you for all the videos you create and can't wait to see what you do next!
