You are one talented lady. Skilled DIY'er / ballerina. The possibilities are endless for you. That paint looks top notch. Let's see you get a couple scratches on it now.
I love that You and Your videos are so authentic, «Don’t... trip over a wheelbarrows» 😂. Hope you didn’t hurt yourself. «Don’t... use PS-smoke for windows». Everybody do mistakes in RC, I ruined the 3 speed gear for my HPI Baja on the first test race today. That’s $ 150 out the window... But you saved the day with this video RC-Girl! Thanks!
Watched a few videos on how to paint hardbody r/c cars. Wish I had found yours first ❤. Sadly, I’ll never get those few hours watching other videos 🤦🏿♂️ This was great! Thank you. I now has a little less anxiety as I paint my first r/c car. 🙏🏿
Just saved this video as I’ve painted a couple hard bodies and wasn’t totally satisfied with the durability. This method looks like it should do the trick. Can’t wait to try it. Excellent tips. Thanks!!
So glad I found your channel! I'm preparing to build my first RC ever and decided to do a hot pink Jeep. I was so intimidated about the whole process and getting into the hobby in general but now feel more confident painting and building with my SO and friends who are more seasoned than me. Subscribed!
Hi there I'm called Rob, I've been following you a while now. I saw the jeep wrangler today out on your back yard trail. It was absolutely brilliant and with your review I'm going to buy one tomorrow. Best wishes from South Yorkshire, England. X
Great job. I would just add that it's always a good idea to use at least a surgical mask or a respirator for health and safety reasons even though you might be painting outside in open space. They'll help prevent paint particulates from entering your respiratory system. I personally use a 3M respirator with replaceable filters.
great video I recently bought my first RC the RC4WD gelande 2 d90 and plan on getting another body for it and this video was really helpful as it will be my first time painting a RC body
Great video. Another great tool for doing the sanding in between coats is 0000 steel wool. Works really good and gets in the all the cracks and corners.
Really good video. I just purchased a Tamiya re-release Lunchbox black edition to reintroduce the RC, and gave myself only one condition: do a damn fine job finishing it. Great attention to the small details, and to getting the correct products for painting on poly substrates.
Great video/videos, glad that old writeup helped... the Jeep turned out great, love the matt finish! I really dig that you leave the little hickups in your videos, it makes them very relatable.
I really like your videos; they are great even when you do real things like tripping over the wheelbarrow. I myself also get so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't notice anything around me. Great paint job on the jeep; keep them coming. I'm very sincere about the comments I post on your channel.
The thing I LOVE your vids. I've been subs since early on. The thing that makes them great for me is when you try something and it doesn't work, yet you admit it rather than edit it out. You're so down to earth a for real. Like keeping in when that poster fell on you. Just those little things are fab. And on this one with the tinted windows. You are wonderful and please keep it up :)
@@RCGirl Hey, you're awesome. So many people would take out the funny bits. Keep them in. I laugh and learn (I'm not super on electrics). You give me hope :)
Amazing amazing results. Just leave the cans in warm water for a finer spray out of the can. Also on the last layer I normally assembled all the painted parts for a uniform and consistent finish. All around. But you sure make a super super awesome paint.
That is a great job on painting that body. I sprayed my trx tactical with krylon military green. About 10 coats in still not happy finally got some o.d. green tamiya. Now I'm happy.
Something I have done in the past when painting a hard body is to primer the body and then paint the entire body the gloss black for the interior before you apply the body color. Mask off the interior and anything you want to keep the black color and proceed with the rest of your paint process. When using metallic paints, I have been known to put a silver down between this coat and the final color finish. Add the gloss or the matte clear coat and it's just got a look unlike others who use the same color on their vehicles.
Great how to video. Tinting the windows does work with Tamiya PS-31 smoke, but the trick if you wanna see through it is to just add one light coat of PS-31. The more coats you apply the darker the color gets. But the window tint film is also a good alternative. The matt finish really looks very cool and I like the blue color. You did a great job!
Yeah I thought the PS-smoke would work too. I've used it before on lexan bodies just fine. But for some reason it reacted badly with my window plastic and made it look like it had been sanded... super weird! I should have showed photos of it.
@@RCGirl Well you got it solved now. It happened to me too that I just added one coat too many and than the result was too dark. Sometimes you can try it again by removing the PS paint with nitro fuel 20%.
Great video! The explanation will definitely be applicable to future jobs. Even more helpful are some of the tips by viewers. Please keep up the great work @RCGirl!
The kit comes separate from the body, but here are links to both (also in my description box of the video): Xtra Speed Jeep Hard Plastic Body Kit 313mm White # XS-59765: bit.ly/2Yy7Zrr OR amzn.to/2E2Lv9C Xtra Speed XS01 KIT # XS-CAR-910: bit.ly/2TsXGRM
Nice job! One final tip I can give you is to heat your spray cans in some warm water prior to spraying. Will give you a much finer spray!
Awesome! It was super hot out while painting so I assumed the cans were well heated, but good point for folks in colder climates or cold garages!
this is a fact with any rattle can solvents. painter of 20 yrs. lol do not heat in oven like i have seen done though.
Nice tip man!
Dont heat in microwave lol
I've done this when painting on cold days never thought about doing it regularly. Thanks!
Love the channel thanks for all tips
darling no one can ever come close to being as informative as you,plus your very easy on the eyes
You are one talented lady. Skilled DIY'er / ballerina. The possibilities are endless for you. That paint looks top notch. Let's see you get a couple scratches on it now.
Man you are good at any rc thing you do.
Thanks for making this video. I am painting my rc4wd this weekend and I am going to follow your instructions RC Girl!

Thanks for the video, now i'm confident enough for my first paintjob on an scx24 bronco, i was worried to miss a crucial step.
That body came out great! Proper preparation and light, even coats are the most important parts of any paint job!
Instablaster...

this body fits on the axial scx1o ii chassis and the body came with the angry eyes grille.love your videos
Love the step by step process of your videos. I learned to solder with your soldering video and now I’m getting ready for my first hard body
One more tip, just kidding....
Excellent work, a beauty of a body.
The camera shots and lighting is getting much better!
You talking about Jeep right? ;)
great video I recently bought my first RC the RC4WD gelande 2 d90 and plan on getting another body for it and this video was really helpful as it will be my first time painting a RC body

fab video...the jeep looks great..i wasnt sure to put a clear coat on or not.....but the flat looks great
Great video/videos, glad that old writeup helped... the Jeep turned out great, love the matt finish!
I really dig that you leave the little hickups in your videos, it makes them very relatable.
Haha thanks! And thanks for the detailed write up. Made it easy to follow
That's one sweet rig! Good job on the paint you picked.
That thing looks great, I really like how you...LOOK OUT FOR THE WHEELBARROW!
You almost full sent it over that wheelbarrel!!!!! Lol great quick vid!!!!! Love the color!!!
🤣🤣🤣 I know. It broke my sandal lol but I survived to see another day
The black on blue paint scheme, really looks great. looks even greater once put on the chassis, thumbs up 👍👍👍👍! Thanks for sharing. Keep 'em coming.
Thanks for breaking this down into a short video, love it!
I really like your videos; they are great even when you do real things like tripping over the wheelbarrow.
I myself also get so engrossed in what I'm doing that I don't notice anything around me.

Thanks for sticking around!! 😀
@@RCGirl Hey, you're awesome. So many people would take out the funny bits. Keep them in. I laugh and learn (I'm not super on electrics). You give me hope :)
Nice work. I really like the blue
Na I Gerry Toolin (gt660r@gmail.com) custom made it for me! I gave him a shout out towards the end 😁
You could have edited out the wheelbarrow wipe out but you didn’t. That makes you awesome and I love your channel!
🤣🤣
Gotta watch out for them pesky Wheelbarrels 😄 🤣.... Love the paint job, it looks great! getting ready to paint my RC4WD 4 door.
Amazing amazing results. Just leave the cans in warm water for a finer spray out of the can. Also on the last layer I normally assembled all the painted parts for a uniform and consistent finish. All around. But you sure make a super super awesome paint.
blue + matte = way awesomeness!
Who put that wheel barrel there LOL Glad u didnt get hurt, great how to video, thanks for sharing. Urs came out amazing well done!
Fantastic job and very helpful video.
You did a good job on that
That is a great job on painting that body. I sprayed my trx tactical with krylon military green. About 10 coats in still not happy finally got some o.d. green tamiya. Now I'm happy.
Matte finish on that blue is REALLY nice! Looks like you will have a decent blooper compilation for the end of this year 😉

Great job R/C Girl!!
very great and complex paint methode
That truck is awesome! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. And thank you for leaving the wheel barrel tripping scene in your video. Loved it:-)
Some thing I have just heard of is that using a etching primer gives you a stronger bond to the base coat. (RC kicks)
Way too stay patient and get the results you wanted, impressive work for your first hard body. Nicely Done!!
Thanks! I'll have to work on weathering techniques next.
@@RCGirl You should go check out JOHNNY RAINS CUSTOM @RUclips.COM ,insane
@@RCGirl .....oh yeah i 4got to ask where did you get the tint paper for the windows??
Good video & nice paint job 👍👌
This is really making me feel somewhat comfortable doing a hard body next! Another great vid!
The body looks great. Thanks for the tips. I just finished painting my 1986 Monster Beetle body again. Now I know I forgot a few steps.
Oh nice! How did yours turn out?
It doesn’t look too bad, I used.the Tamiya TS-54. But I think using a primer before painting whould be better.
Great how to video. Tinting the windows does work with Tamiya PS-31 smoke, but the trick if you wanna see through it is to just add one light coat of PS-31.

Great job! Nice color choice. Jeep looks awesome!
Looks nice, super simple and great results
Reminds me of my custom 6x6 work I did wow amazing
Turned out great with all that work. First wreck is gonna hurt more than tripping on a wheel barrel.
Great video, short and sweet but giving enough to know and follow on. Keep up the good work.
That’s wicked love the build great video and big fan
Awesome paint job !! I think it came out perfect!! 👍👍👍👍
Awesome job hope your ok after that fall.
Thanks for that! I have a Tamiya Ford F350 High-Lift that I'm at the point where I'm ready to paint the body and this helps a lot.
Looks awesome that matte color reminds me of a real Jeep with a bed lined paint job 😉!
Awesome paint job,great trailer👍👍
