clear bodies

[bringit]

I hope everyone painting them is ordering two of them - one to paint for use when it's on the shelf and one to leave clear for actual driving. I don't see the point in painting a shell that is going to get rashed up the first time you take it out to drive it.

Really ? I just came from mine and they said they cant even order it ..

Yup, they put on order with their supplier. They don't have a date yet on when it will ship but it's on backordered. It's easier so i don't have to keep looking at websites to see when they are available to order.

Kinda hard not to want to drive them really , I just want a clear one to paint white so it can match my other car , allready have a black , silver xo-1 body and blue ofna body and none are rashed up so far

Seeing most of the videos out there you pretty much need to paint it so you can see it. 80% of people are driving it so far away from themselves trying to get thier best shot at a hundred, it's a virtual speck by the time they start thier run.

PS to bring it: I've got to take a picture of this sign for you of a welding shop where I live. "BRINGIT" welding. The letters are huge 3D 20ft high boxed steel.

Chrome might not be a bad idea.

but i was thinking a loud color with some simple yet cool graphics on the sides.

Im loving the photoshop that green is spot on with what i was thinking.

can you do it in a tangerine or orange pearl?

I am with you 100% on the orange, that color on the saleen is nice! I'm thinking something between orange and copper.

Nice, then you are a good driver. Have you hit 100 MPH yet?

I do agree with you on that point for the high speed runs. I was thinking just for bashing at 50 MPH or less the clear body will be fine.

Can't wait to see the sign.

I bet you didnt see this coming lol

[ponie1992]

That's some serious paint work there. Did it not come with window masks or do you not like clear windows?

[1azz]

no window masks come with it. just the window decals. i didnt want clear windows anyway.

No masks? I guess you could use the stickers as masks. Why on earth would it not come with masks?

[1azz]

maybe because the window stickers are baddd______! and you dont need them lol.......

idk but it isnt hard at all to mask off your own windows if you prefer clear.

[powers]

1azz that's some crazy skill there buddy. Is the real carbon fiber on the hood or decals or what?

[ducati777]

Is the real carbon fiber on the hood or decals or what?

WOW, niiice. I'll be goin with laying down real carbon fiber on mine since I lack the patience (excuse for lack of skill haha) to do that.

[1azz]

if i had real carbon i would tooo. lol

Some one needs to make a real carbon fiber body. I would buy it !!!!!!!

[powers]

Can you replace the houndstooth carbonfiber with paisley?

Here you go.

[1azz]

that would be really hard to do with a airbrush, but i bet i could pull it off.......

[LeadSled]

Great job 1azz, now lets see a picture of the body on the car ;-)

Can't wait to get a clear body for my XO-1

[1azz]

the 6th and 7th pic is on the car you can see the front splitter

[RC_SPEED_JUNKIE]

Wow dude you have some skill with a airbrush!!! BUT this woulda been SO much better in a different color... Either way outstanding job!!!

This paint job with chrome base color woulda been SICK!!!

[1azz]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

[DiggerPede]

Very good look'n. Love the airbrush work. Keep it up.....

Driving with a clear body? Hmmm I guess I've sorta done that, but it really just turns into a grey body when you do that.... Might as well just buy a silver body at that point.

Otherwise, embrace your road rash!

This is why I like racing stripes... I feel like a line down the center of the car gives me a visual reference. Or painting the front and rear different colors.

I'd do the front and rear different on my old 18th scale cars, but for the same reason, they were small and hard to see.

[1azz]

clear bodies are starting to ship i got another one from my distributor warehouse what colors do you guys suggest for this one?

[bringit]

Corvette yellow or Kawasaki green

[1azz]

Yea i was thinking flourescent green or a irridescent green with some orange silver and black graphics.

[bringit]

Since you like that showy stuff, if you make it green you should also make it glow in the dark!

[1azz]

this body will be my shelf body so im going to go heavy on the graphics.

i do have glow in the dark acrylic paint too....... but it only shows good over white paint!!!!!!!!!!!

[powers]

Im hoping to have my clear body tomorrow or monday. Gonna try and do some real carbon fiber on it.

[1azz]

def want to see that !!!!!!!!!i never have had the chance or materials to play with real cf but then again airbrushing it doesnt seem to look bad.
