New paint for 2007 anyone ?
 

I'm sure there will be plenty of new cars / shells around in 2007, here's my new paint, hopefully I will still be able to see them in the grass (tourer excluded !).

Come on Jimmy, if i've had chance to paint something over Xmas, than i'm sure you have too !

Andy.

Nice andy looking very smart:) :cool:

I hope to get a new b4 shell and get it sprayed to match my tc then when i get my x5 ill get that painted the same but i like to leave new shells just before nationals start so they arent knackered before the season begins.

Nice job Andy, and for one tiny moment, I thought the X-6 was an old ProCat

Nice shells mate. Only had my current shell for 6 months but I think I may get a new one as for some reason, the paint on mine is coming up and leaving air bubbles underneath the paint!

re new shells
 

we kept the same design just changed the colours

One of my tourer shells for 2007, slightly different to last years

sweet...

I think I'm gonna go for something totally different to last year, a nice shade of white ;)

that's well smart how long did it take to do that

I got plenty of shades of white, I can even do you white carbon fibre, roflol

I really wish i had the time and patients to do that, let alone the talent, i have them done by a guy in thailand called Luck, he is a star and its all air brush no stickers anywhere, you dont want to cover up any of the work with sponsors stickers :D

That looks simply stunning - love the colour scheme there! Have you painted an angry row of teeth along the front, or does it just look like that from this angle? Have you got a front end pic??

Well done anyway, loving your work (if you did it of course) :)

This is a pic of last seasons bodies they are very similar in design, the grill is all brush work also, sadly its not my work, i can only dream of such talents

ooh, someones been to shopufo.
awesome work, I only wish I could get faskolor paint to go on shells as good as he does.:(

I thought the front looked familiar, must have money to waste, getting shells sprayed in Asia, lol, the guy must spray all day, every day, he must be using some of the Createx extenders and stuff.

TBH its cheaper to get 3 shells done by Luck than it is by any of the UK pro`s this includes shipping, and its something different. ;)

Crikey, is he doing them for free then?

i wish, he also has a 4 month waiting list :o

Love the intercooler he's painted lol - looks really good!

???:confused: :eh?:

eh? How much did it cost you in total for 3 shells plus shipping then?
I need to know, 'cos I'm obviously not charging enough! PM me if you don't want people to know.

everyone I know thats had shells off him have payed about £50 a shell?

Plus I've not got a 4 month waiting list.;)

the photos just dont seem to do the bodies justice, when i first got them i just admired them:D

Im still very proud of them and know each one is a work of art that only a very small group of people can do

nice lines, is he cutting those pin stripes on the flames on the shell ?

Apparently he does yes, not that saying he's not any good because he is, he's incredibly accurate and I'm working on getting up to his standards (not far off now!) ;) but surely its no more expensive to get them over here. I don't charge a great deal for the shells I do so i wouldn't think theres much in it.

Yeah i heard you were back on the solvents Tel:D

I got 3 shells done and shipping included its about £150, the exchange rate is good right now:)

Plus it is something very different and yes the pinstripes are all hand cut you can see on one or two of the lines where the knife has stopped.

£150 :-O

£150, I would happily do five shells for that!!!!

£50 a shell.... I think I might turn Pro for that:D

i'd happily go and drink lots of beer for that

looking at the RRCI magazine this lunchtime in the local newsys and looks like Tel is already gone pro ?

I thought you'd quit spraying tel?

How much do you charge a shell like?

I always find a couple of AA batteries give a good enough charge :D:D

I could do three shells with that design for less than that, put it that way.:)

Yes Jimmy I've had to, due to losing my job I need to make some money now and this is the only other thing that i do other than the design work.

I did put the airbrush away for a few months whilst i was working because painting shells and working didn't leave me much time for family etc. but now i can do the shells in the day time.:p

agh, sorry to hear that mate, I have been made redundant three times over the last few years - games industry isn't the most stable thing ever! But to be honest, if it happened again then I'd do what you're doing and see what happened. Not painting shells, but doing my own thing I mean.

£150 isnt that not far of a new team B4? I no the shell is awesome but:o
I hope you dont crash very often!! LMAO

Hey jimmy you should just go into photography matey, why don't you set up a little shop on here selling your photo's?

Its the first time I've lost a job in 16yrs! so I'm not used to it. lol
it does feel good not to have to get up early for work though, and just work from home.:p

Always told him to set sumat up, and i'd be more than willing to help as always.

150:o :o

i could get 5 shells sprayed to a high standard for that.

Good luck with the shells mate. I may well be contacting you soon about getting one for my car.
Jimmy, have you thought about selling some of your pictures through the site? If I saw my RC10 looking as good as most of them do in your shots, i would pay to get a print of it. You could do 8x10s right up to poster prints! Maybe do a bit of freelance stuff for RRCI or Racer or even do your own Bi-monthly review mag. Just a few ideas.;)
