    For those looking for liquid masks, AMAIN HOBBIES carries Bitty designs, and Spazstix liquid masks. Bob Smiths' industries liquid mask is hard to find as I think it was discontinued. Mike D, no wonder Traxxas comes to you. Nothing short of breathtaking paint jobs. I wish I could do a 10th of what you can do. Insane, bro.

    I really enjoy painting the bodies for rc cars. Mostly because I can try out different ideas that I want to try on a real car. If I'm happy with it on the rc car I will go ahead and do it on the real thing. There are also the hard polycarbonate bodies that you need to paint on the outside and those are great for trying out body mods too.

  • @TR850

    Looks amazing. I wonder whether the same process would work in 1/24 / 1/28 slotcar or RC bodies. The bodies are super thin so I‘d be concerned to cut through them or weaken them too much. Also in those small bodies I imagine it would be very difficult to work with the knife and also to cut stuff like the chrome trim masking so that it looks good. Your trim looked phenomenal! I have no idea how you managed to cut the masking so that it looks so equally wide throughout all the chrome trim?!

    after years of brushing it on, I used a paint spray gun from Harbor frieght and sprayed in on the bodies, and it turned out much better. I didnt have any thin areas causing me problems, I only had to do 1 good coat, and sprayed a couple areas that looked a little thin. But that works great right out of the bottle..

    My problem with spraying it on is the overspray that gets everywhere. It does go on more evenly but I have never had issues with thin spots anyway. Plus I can just sit on the couch inside and mask multiple bodies at a time. Lol
