Well, I recently had Brian do up a paint job for me.
But I figured I'm not gunna learn anything by having others do it for me, so maybe I should start and do one myself!
So, I took some suggestions to buy Automotive paint (Gee is that stuff EXPENSIVE!) and now I've put on a few coats...
I forgot to take some pics of the white unpainted body so I stole some from a website so you could see what it looks like outta the box.

I've now put on three coats of the Yellow.

As you can see, I've got a Metallic Black awaiting to be sprayed into some racing stripes and possibly some other bits and pieces.
I have a clear coat as well to hopefully protect it a bit.
I'll put a few coats of the clear on and let it sit for a while to cure.
I think it's gunna look pretty good!
I bought this body as I had purchased an Austin Martin & I was worried that I'd mess it up so, I figured I'd play and see where it takes me.
I may just leave it on for our next race instead and use the Austin Martin for my next body. =)
Anyhoo...
That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have some time on Saturday night to mask it up and paint it on Sunday.
Ugh, SO much to do, and so little time to do it in!
Does anyone else have that same problem?
