Nothing fancy but I trimmed and painted my first body. Jconcepts Warrior body for the wifey typhon. Turned out pretty well if I do say so myself! She wanted pink and I had no clue what I was doing so I just used ps11 4 coats and 2 coats of ps29. She loves the way it turned out, but I definitely want to get a fancier pink finish for her next time. I will probably try Translucent pink + the spazstix metal backer for her next body. I'm doing Translucent red + the spazstix backer for myself.

Good grief my step-daughter would love that lol
Very nice work!
 
Thanks guys! I actually did my 2nd body a few days after this one but sadly it didn't turn out as nice. I'm not sure exactly where I went wrong but I think I put my heat gun too close to the paint/body after the first coat and it kind of messed up the paint in a few places. I also believe I didn't apply enough paint to the earlier coats and thats a mistake I won't make again. I was afraid of being too heavy handed and ended up being too light on the paint :eek::ROFLMAO: I've already beat the body up in some sorta high speed blow overs and I have 2 more ready to be painted.

This was ps37 - ps15 and spazstix silver metallic backer. The color actually came out amazing even though I messed up. These pictures don't really do it justice. Now the wifey wants her noto painted in the same color. :ROFLMAO:
 
It ok. It gets better. I messed up my C8 Felony body. Paint nozzle was spitting paint, then phone distraction cause a run in paint on one side. Things happen
 
Moirae you paint like pro. Both are nice great colors, makes the car high visible far away , more easy to controll.

That spaz stix paint is SICK.
WOW

you should paint more bodies.
Nice have something special, self painted. Makes the car more personal, you will also have more respekt to the car when painted it self.
Only good things
