dude, love the color! Nice work.



When painting with rattle cans I’ve had the swirling problem too, for me... it was the metal flakes getting almost stuck together ?? ??‍♂️ The only way I was able to make the those go away was to make sure my van was warm and crazy well shaken. I use a blow dryer to get the can warm prior to painting. Also, I have like a box or some scrap cardboard handy to kind make sure my stream is steady before applying to the body. I think the key was to get the paint good n warm.. (not hot lol)
I usually have a bowl of hot water that I keep the cans standing in. I try to shake for at least a min and prime the nozzle each coat too. I’m pretty sure I just need to wait more than 30mins between metallic coats. I haven’t had the issue with flat paints.

I have never painted a rc body, but this advice sounds reasonable. I have used plastidip (i realize this is not the same as paint) on my real car and all the vids i watched talked about having the can sitting in a bucket of hot/warm water for a bit before using, and also doing the initial spray on cardboard or something to kinda clear out the nozzle to get a good uniform spray before hitting the thing you are looking to paint. It seems like this technique would crossover
 
Nice! Love to see it mounted though.
here you go!

I don't have a good touch, the Kraton bed was a nightmare

Only pics I have of me prepping it
