Really appreciated this video!! About to start painting a bunch of bodies... Needed some pointers and tips, and this wrapped that up in a bow. Thanks a million! 11 bodies to paint seems less daunting now!! Excited to lay down my own colors, I got some high end glow in the dark/UV reactives I need to use, going to put in some blacklight L.E.D.'s to make my radiation paints POP!!! Very stoked now, enjoy rippin up that supra!!

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

@MWright0825 Рік тому

Another awesome tutorial from IRONSIDE!!! Thanks for the tips mate! My favorite tip which I never thought of, was using the dry erase marker on the outside of the body! Seems to work so good. I always just use a regular sharpie since the outer protective film protects the actual body but I like the idea of being able to erase mistakes in the lines or if deciding to change it up! I look forward to your next video bro! :D

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

Ayee!! Thanks 👊 appreciate the kind words! Yeah dry erase works so nice. I changed up my design a ton of times so if I couldn't erase would've been so confusing LOL.

@shoopitor3796 10 місяців тому

complete beginner here. my tt02 had like, silver plastic headlight housings and is led compatible. do i apply the sticker to that plastic housing or the interior when painting?

@IRONSIDE_RC 10 місяців тому

Hello! I've never had silver headlight housings before always clear and I've had to paint. If yours are already painted then I would apply stickers on the headlight housing then install in body. Hope this helps

@dustinrossi9384 Рік тому

Quick question for the tail lights you leave outside clear? Paint inside silver? And just use red bulb ?

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

For taillights and headlights you leave it clear on the body just tape them off on inside or use provided light Masks. You would paint the light buckets black or silver usually you can install stickers or cut to make actual led bulb fit! Those get mounted inside the body. Leaving the body clear makes you see the light buckets on the inside giving it a realistic tailight appearance. Hope this helps

@GT-po6by Рік тому

I’ve never seen windows tinted that way, very good. I use PS31 smoke

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

It's my go to!! So easy. I've always had the material on hand from when I use to wrap real cars. Hense why I use vinyl a lot for my designs to! Never tried the spray tint I'll have to check your rigs see how it turns out!

@tubbs467 8 місяців тому

do you think i can use normal acrylic paints (with brushes) and do my own design?

@IRONSIDE_RC 7 місяців тому

You wouldn't want to use normal paint on these lexan bodies, the paint needs to bond well and flex I would only use PS paint for polycarbonate

@JustRCCrazy 11 місяців тому

It's cool how it looks like a hot mess in the beginning and then turns into an art piece at the end. Very nice job there. Are the rims actually metal? They look really nice. Thanks for the lesson. I look forward to doing my first one.

@brendanb.8007 6 місяців тому

What kind of paint do you use? Is there specific paint necessary? Or can I use typical Rust-Oleum?

@IRONSIDE_RC 6 місяців тому

Hello! I would recommend the tamiya paint. Has to be PS - polycarbonate approved because the lexan rc body's are very flexible. Normal spray paint like rust- Oleum would Crack and flake off after some hits and movement / flex

@WoodsUnknown Рік тому

Are there any Tamiya kits that come with precut decals and parts without clipping them from plastic trees.

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

Hello! I'm honestly not to sure about that one! All the ones I have done have been like this one in video!

What was the time between the different layer sprays? An hour or so to slightly dry up or less?

@IRONSIDE_RC 3 місяці тому

30mins to 1hr depends on how think you did. I'd do light coats and you can tell when it's dry. Once it is spray again

How do I measure the body to fit my chasis, is it by the wheelbase or width?

@IRONSIDE_RC Рік тому

Deffinately wheelbase Is the most important! If your wheels don't line up will have rubbing and steering issues! Width is good also to match up with your rim offset. If you search your chassis online can usually find the wheelbase and width pretty easy or look in you instruction manual

Why cut holes?? You can use hidden mounts instead

Hello! Good question! If it was a drift or lowrider build I wouldn't cut the holes. But for racing for the extra security of holes and clips its worth it for the peace of mind knowing the body can't fly off
