@inter966

although it can be ordered from Tower Hobbies or the HPI Racing website(s).

[AlexsDamnFilms]

pearlescent

[spliffnwesson]

Sort of... but not really.

This body has taken quite a bit of abuse. The plastic and shape is still in good shape but the paint and some decals have suffered. I need to strip the rest of it, get a new decal sheet and more color-changing paint to do it over.

[AlexsDamnFilms]

@spliffnwesson can you actually get decal sheets sold seperatly, or even custome made?

[spliffnwesson]

On the HPI site they only show the Art Factory decal sheet. I just did a quick search on ebay and google but nothing came up for the headlight, window trim, etc. Sometimes you can find unused or partially used decal sheets on forums, maybe make a "wanted" post. Another option is checking a local hobby shop. Otherwise you have to buy a new body where the decal sheet is included.

could you make a vid on how to do that

[spliffnwesson]

I don't have any more of this Spaz Stix paint and RC funds are non-existent to get more. It comes in rattle cans and goes on like any other RC paint, then backed in a dark/opaque color.

AGAIN- its pearliscent paint not colour changing.

[spliffnwesson]

no paint ever actually changes color, it's little flakes of different colors that show up depending on light and angle. the same goes for the chameleon paint for real (1:1) vehicles.

quit hatin.

[spliffnwesson]

Thanks guys.

Not bad for a first paint job, huh?

I just got 7 new bodies for my vehicles and some paints. Now I just gotta figure out how I want to paint them.
