flip paint

[davegt3]

hi all im looking at buying and painting a clear shell for my mad monkey and want something simple so ive been looking at painting it with flip paint. just wondered if any one had used 'Tamiya PS-46 Purple/Green Flip Spray'. or if any one could suggest another brand that may be better etc?

I have in the past used custom colour flip paint it doesnt stick as well as normal paint so would be well worth keying the shell first. I scrub all of my shells with a brillo pad first and back them with plastikote scratch proof clear helps to stop the paint flaking off hope this helps.

Fastrax do/did some green flip paint which was awesome "chameleon jade" backed with black paint to bring the flip effect out and better........

back with black that supprises me was expecting something like silver

I have used that tamiya paint you are on about , it was in my lhs so I decided to give it a go , first impressions wasn't good but the more I look at it the better it gets ! As for the backing , yeah you have to back with black, I did try a few other colours out but they didn't work.

I will try to post some pics tomo, although I'm not sure how it will show up in a photo.

As for hand can spray I wouldn't use any other brand than tamiya, it's expensive but always seems to give good results. I'm sure people will disagree tho
