If you lived local I would show you. It’s not too bad but just mostly time consuming.

It came out so pretty!! Love color changing stuff, you nailed it 😍
 
If you want color changing then check out chameleon pigments
It comes in powder form and you just mix it with clear ..shoot a few light coats then back in black
Super simple and very inexpensive

You can back in other colors for various effects but there’s a lot to choose from

Here’s a few I’ve done in chameleon colors

🔥🔥🔥🔥 best paint by far
 
Probably a stupid question but are you painting from underneath or the inside? Or is that on the top surface?
I assume from inside.
Do you just do real lite coats of what ever colts you choose? Has to be special paint?
I want a corvette body for my limitless but was afraid because they are clear.
Any adviser woukd be appreciated

Always paint the inside. Depending on what you are trying to achieve, but yes! Light coats the first few layers let dry in between. Tamyia and spazstick make RC paint
 
It’s painted from the inside. The C8 Corvette body from Proline/Protoform is for the Felony, so on the Limitless you’ll have some rear wheel gap.

You’ll want to use a paint meant for RC bodies such as Tamiya PS or Spazstix or Traxxas.
 
Great selection of colors there. The results are impressive. Nice work. (y) :cool:
