Some runs and mistakes, first time ever painting an RC body but I think overall it looks killer

It gets easier over time.
 
It looks stellar! My first time painting a body was a mess, but you gain a lot of experience rather quickly in that category.

Great job!
Painting just takes a little practice and some imagination

the keys to a successful paint job is prep and patience

I always wash the body pre paint with dawn and hot water
Then make sure it’s dust free.

when shooting colors just make sure you shoot very light coats and be patient..let the coats dry

if you do that you’ll find you have great results overall

it took me a while to master painting these bodies but it gets easier of course with practice
 
I think my second coat was a little too heavy causing some little runs. Then I went very light coats and when I sprayed the silver base coat I can see a little silver poking through the light areas. But overall I like it a lot.
