When it's too snowy to take cars out....
 

As the weather has prevented any RC fun I have got the spray booth out again.

Here is the first of this weekend's efforts. All being well I will update with two more tomorrow! This is a Phat body Truggy shell for my mini 8ight.

These are very nice mate... I totally gotta get a new compressor... :D

These were all done with cans! While I love the control of an airbrush cans are so much quicker.

when not spraying shells, young max can be found tagging railway bridges around Norwich,;)

Hi Max...
Good job on the shells, i was suprised to read they were done with cans, they have the grunge/bitty design look. Do you fancy doing a touring car shell for me?, if so give us a quote, nothing fancy, just 2 tone. I don't think i will be able to do any painting in this weather for a few months, i waited a month for a dry day to do my associated shells and gave up in the end and done them leaning in a tin shed on a rainy day, it's already come back to bite me as the paint ran round the window and has now flaked. I believe i may have dried it too rapidly with a hairdryer ?. .

No worries mate, you cover the costs of the materials and I'll get it sorted. Can't just do boring two tone though have to think of something a bit more inventive than that!! What colours are you thinking??

I'm way to old and slow for that! I defo couldn't run away from the police these days.

shell ideas
 

Something roughly similar to this pink one would be good as i have pink and white paint already or the blue one is what i have always wanted, let me know what you think?

spray can challenge:D

I have never done anything that detailed but I am willing to give it a go (i make no promises though). I'd have said that the blue and yellow one would actually be easier than the pink..

order these and I'll sort it

Mesh mask for the effect on the blue

Liquid mask- This should be enough to do the shell

Oh and I have taken the liberty of choosing flat blue rather than metalic as I don't like the metalic paint.. If you want to could replace the light blue with a metallic one..

oooo good work good to see someone doing a good job with just a can theses days :D:D
