Great job... the flat colors really pop the whole paint job. It's the little details like those that catch the eye.

I finish work at midnight ( Australia) and bam another rc network vid !! Great stuff 😎 Best part of my night is watching these videos when i get home . The dull coat on the tray/ bonnet really set it off 🖒🖒 white stripe with rc network logo's is a great touch of class

A perfect class on how to paint Rich! I have a Tekno MT 410, with a Baja VW Beetle body from Pro-Line. Army Green with a holographic chrome engine and American Military Star on the sides and roof. I didn't back the chrome with black instead choosing to back it with the green. I'm so happy I did. The chrome looks so good with a holographic green hue it just came up better than I hoped. First drive on the weekend and on 4S it was crazy fast, the whole car was so impressive. As you know I love my Tekno products, it just wanted to wheelie with the slightest bit of power and then settled on all four wheels. I don't think I got much past half throttle. Amazing MT. Now I have the Pro-Line Rat Rod body that I'm going to paint up, purple backed with gold, some black detailing and the holographic chrome for the engine bay and exhaust pipes. But if I knew how great the Raptor body looked earlier I'd almost be driving around with one on as well. Great work Rich, always learning something and inspired by your finished products.

Glad to help! After I painted all of the colors, I peeled the window masks and sprayed the Tamiya Smoke (window tint).

Then peel the overspray layer

do most lexan bodies have that film already over it? or is that something you applied? i watched the video and was stunned at the end when you peeled it off but i didn't recall seeing the application of that. seems like a thin plastic film from factory? if someone else knows any help is needed, about to endeavor on a paint job of my own and i want to know all the tricks haha. thank you in advance if you see this.

The last colors you want to paint are silver and white. Anytime you put a dark color over a lighter color, it will darken that color. It sounds like you have the right order though
