Hello guys this is my Arrma granite new look. What do you think?

That looks good dude. Looks like a factory pre-paint body. Meant as a complement.
 
Right on. I did not know you painted the outside. I figured you grabbed an unpainted body. Still looks good but it hasn't rolled over on the asphalt yet. When it does, it'll get scratched up. Nothing wrong with battle wounds, but I have a suggestion for when it happens. BED LINER. Tape off (mask)all the parts of the body, that won't touch the ground in a rollover. So the doors, most of the hood, the bed do not get bed liner. Then spray a few cans of bed liner over the roof, the edges of the bed, the outside edges of the hood, etc. Now you have some pretty tough scratch protection on the vulnerable places. When it gets scratched up, just re-spray the bed liner. I have done it on the Grave digger body in the pics below. The scratches you do see, were caused by a 50 yard roof slide. I hit a speed bump full speed, let off the gas and went straight over on the roof. I just re-taped the hood and roof, and sprayed more bed liner. THe last pic is damage from a direct corner landing. With all the shoe good and drywall mesh in ther, the dent won't pop back out.

Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it. Anyway, color under the paint is red, so I think that when it will get scraches it will seem like red stipes all over the bed. Maybe it will look even better this way. A little bit like a worrior (because it will seem like blood lol). Worst case I'll get a new bed cause it doesn't cost much. It's not a costume build, so I can always buy a new one.

I was thinking it would look cool too. Awhile ago I debated painting my clear body with neon green on the inside and flat black on the outside so that the green would show through as it gets scratched up, but never took the time to do it.
 
I just put a set of these on my Granite 4x4 and removed the half torn/broken rubber ones. Gonna paint them blue. :)
