Very good video, always appreciated to get some new ideas how to paint the bodies. Last time I had a guy who painted the bodies for me, but I think it’s more fun to do it by myself.
Looks good Rich When you peeled the overspray film off the black section it was so nice! I almost didn't want you to spray the dull coat, the gloss black was beautiful. Overall it looks great with the matte finish contrasting the metallic blue.
Yeah I did a Schumacher Kat 2 in a matte black finish but used the overspray film to create gloss flames 🔥. Kind of the reverse of what you did I guess? The combo can really make some colours and or designs really pop! Great work again Rich, especially for the beginner and great food for thought for the experienced.
You have to be a real good driver for that paint to stay for any time... If it was me that would literally last me about two minutes with my driving!!!
Not really....on a buggy body, the body rarely gets touched. Also, if you are careful with the placement of the flat - it gives depth to the paint and some realism
The metallic blue really comes to life with the flat black .. very cool trick 🖒🖒thankyou for sharing . im curious .... i love the dull coat look and want to try it out on my next body .. is your reasoning for using the dull coat on the external side because it would react with the polycarbonate paint ?
Thanks CA! When ever you spray from the underside, it gives the gloss look from the lexan shell. Adding the dullcote to the exterior reduces the shine of the lexan
Hi Rich, It's Ray here. Just wanted to let you know that I used your examples of how to paint using multiple colors with a flat finish, and the project I'm just about done with came out amazing! Is there a way I can post it so you can see it? Just thought you might like to see how your student's project turned out. Lol. As always, thanks again for producing great videos with great content!
Kinda figured that was true. Flat paint looses some of its dullness through lexan. Some paint chemist needs to work on this problem. Any way, good video and thanks for doing it.
I recommend to wait to where the surface is not tacky, as much as you can. Heat lamps at night, or set it in the sun during the day to expedite drying.
Sure, the dullcote can get nicked/scratched easily, but with a buggy body, it rarely gets hit. If you use the dull cote on areas like vents, ducts, etc on bodies, it gives some depth and realism. I did a large section on this video to show how good it looks. As for spraying the underside, no, the dullcote would have no effect on the underside, as the lexan has the shine
no you can't spray it on the inside because what gives the shine to ur RC is the plastic itself not the paint, so just spraying it on the inside will do nothing,
Craig nailed it. The gloss comes from the lexan no matter what color/finish you paint the underside. Spraying the external with the dullcote gives the flat look
@@TheRCNetwork i tried tamiya paint remover did not work i tried 100% rubbing alcohol didn't work and i tried wd40 did not work ill try paint thinner next

Good deal, Stefan!
Great video, like always!! I'm new to RC so watching your tutorials really helps. Ray
Glad to help, Ray!
Looks good Rich

Thanks Garszy! Yeah - I like the addition of the matte look on sone vehicles. It gives some depth

I used this technique on my trx 4 truck bed and it looks epic.
Nice!
Thanks!

Ray Teleng awesome! Either locate me on FB or Instagram. And tag Testors too!
good work can you do any other color other then blue
Meaning do I ever do any color than Blue? I usually lean toward blues because I'm color-blind. I can see blues the best.
I'm curious. What would it do to put the dull coat on the inside of the body and then spray the black over that?
Probably a dumb question.
Grumpy Old Man RC it would remain shiny, as what will show would be the fresh shiny lexan on the outside.
Kinda figured that was true. Flat paint looses some of its dullness through lexan. Some paint chemist needs to work on this problem.
Any way, good video and thanks for doing it.
beautiful job!! Thank you
Thanks PP K
Will do!
The Bob ross of rc
Thanks PJ!
Do you need to put stickers on before putting the dull coat on?
It would probably be best.....the stickers can easily pull the dullcote film
How long should I wait to let the blue coats dry before doing the backing coat(black)?
I recommend to wait to where the surface is not tacky, as much as you can. Heat lamps at night, or set it in the sun during the day to expedite drying.
I just added them on your FB site.
Ray Teleng great looking body! Just approved then for everyone to check out. Great job!👍👍👍
Just out of curiosity how did the dull coat finish last, or did it come off and show the shiny black quickly?
It does great.....until it get's hit, which causes it to flake a bit......but I call it weathering! lol
@@TheRCNetwork
I've used black Plastidip with great results.
1. Won't the dull coat come off eventually?
2. Can you spray the dull coat on the inside first then color, and get the same effect?

Desiign Vortex the gloss comes from the outside of the body
Craig nailed it. The gloss comes from the lexan no matter what color/finish you paint the underside. Spraying the external with the dullcote gives the flat look
I think it would have been a better (more dramatic effect) if you flattened the blue and left the black or even reversed the pattern.
Thanks for watching!
Hi do u know how to remove mat black ps tamiya clear coat from the out side off the rc 110scale car body shell
I haven't tried that before....but I'm sure a paint thinner would work
@@TheRCNetwork i tried tamiya paint remover did not work i tried 100% rubbing alcohol didn't work and i tried wd40 did not work ill try paint thinner next
can I still put decals on dull sprayed body?
Yes, but you need to let the dull cote fully cure...as the sticker can pull the dull cote off
Not sure how to tag on Testors?
RCNetwork What would be a fair price for someone to do the painting for my RC?
That's tough....depends on how intricate it is....something like this $60 or so...something crazy? $100ish
bEAUTIFUL
Thanks Marco!
