RC Drift - 350z Sick Splatter Paint Job - Iridescent Pearl Overload - MUST SEE!!

- Sometimes when I'm not drifting, I'm painting...but not just bodies, canvases as well. Doing so gave me a thought one day to try something new with the paint on an RC body. I found a low-cost body on Amazon from Santaizi in the form of this 350z, which I was stoked (still want a 350z of my own) to use as my test piece. I had never heard of them before and after some research I found that they are fairly new to the game. Bought it to test the paint on, but also to try out their bodies.
Watch as I go from start to finish on my experimental paint project. I will talk, show an example, test some stuff, talk some more, probably drop something, and then finish it off with some nice drifting action, a few close calls, some crashes.... even some light tandem action! Woo-hoo, so much fun learning to drive with others. 😁
The paints I used are an assortment of acrylic paints that are readily available online, or through your local craft & art supply store. Approximately 19 colors were used, 13 of them were iridescent pearls from Arteza, mixed with Flotrol & water to desired consistency. The remainder were either Artist Loft, or Liquitex, again both mixed as stated above. Not saying these will work the same for you, but I had favorable results and will continue to use them in the future. They adhere well to the polycarbonate and the color shows through amazingly well. One side was then back by Tamiya white, the other with Tamiya black for polycarbonate. It was all then backed by Tamiya black. The body has already been subjected to abuse, and the paint is holding up really well, with no discernable changes or damage from multiple impacts, most of which can be seen in this video. Front headlights were sprayed with several light coats of Duplicolor Metalcast Yellow, the rears with Metalcast Red, followed by Pactra window tint spray.
I am already working on my next body in the "Splatter Series", and will be using these paints again...but less colors, larger volumes, and within a specific palette range. Keep an eye out for that video, or subscribe & turn on notifications to be in the know when new videos drop!
Until the next one, thanks for watching!

The paint job has a crazy effect! Awesome!!
Thanks! It does create a very cool effect in the light, several colors change or appear different when the pearls shift.
Nice work man! Looks great!
Thanks, greatly appreciate it!
Awesome paint job
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
You’re truly an artist.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
came here to compliment the body then recognized the rc drift shop here close to me! That's dope!
Oh nice! You drift up at DARC? I don't run this body anymore, but if you see me up there, come on over and say hello. I have several bodies that I switch out, hard to say what I'll be driving, lol
I'm usually the one crashing. Happy drifting!
Thanks for watching!
Cool body and that d5 îs top notch
Thanks, I appreciate it!
LINDO VIDEO !
Gracias! Thanks for watching!
Sick azz paint and creative design. Def gonna do something similar, after a year, still holding up?
Thanks so much, greatly appreciated. Yeah, absolutely, the paint held up beautifully. The body not so much. This Z was from a newer company and was a little thicker poly than is traditional, so it cracked in several places instead of absorbing impacts. You can check out the damage in my Santaizi 350z Review video (link below), it shows the cracks that travel halfway up the body, but no chipping of any paint! It's now on a display chassis and has been retired.

shame you didn't show how to do it, just outcome of each step...
Honestly, if I included the step by step, this would have been a twelve part video. There was lots of hours put into this splatter work, and it will ultimately depend on what you want it to look like. I can create a video to show the steps, but honestly that is also where the creativity comes in. Do you want to mask yours, splatter only two colors, just within a confined set of racing stripes, do some drips to accent it? It really comes down to preference. However, I will definitely be creating additional splatter bodies, so be on the lookout for upcoming videos, as it might provide additional insight and details that would be helpful. If there is anything specific you would like to know, please leave it in the comments and I will do my best to provide a clear answer or include it in an upcoming video. 👍
👀 Custom splatter painted Traxxas Rustler body upcoming!
