i'm thinking about spraying a thick layer of black, sprinkling sand all over it, then spraying more black over that. are there any better methods of getting a rhinolined look? i've thought about using spray adhesive layer for the first layer but im not sure how the paint will work on top of it

Try Rustolium textured spray paint.
this is the black, looks more grey. on other rigs I went over it with flat black afterward.

close up shot showing the fine texture. very scale.

overall

i actually have line-xed a toyota bed and it came out pretty good ill see if i can find some pics of it. we do get bored at work every now and then and will just start spraying random things

just go to your local auto paint store and pic up some 3m undercoating looks just like there bedlining & even has a sheen to it.

karlos · 01-09-2009, 08:49 AM

I don't recomend undercoating as it is tar based and will make a mess out of your bed. You can go to Wal-Mart, in the automotive section they have a rattle can spray in bedliner that works well. I don't remember the name brand.

Plasti-Kote has black and white spray can truck bed liner. Go to any auto parts store to find it.

However, as far as scale appearances go; I like the results of the above Toyota much better. I would recommend that first.

IDnewcrwlr · 02-03-2009, 04:24 PM

i like that textured look alot, it looks bad a$$

i am looking to paint my cr-01 body like that, would you reccomend putting a primer coat down first? or just go rite ahead n spray it how it is

this will be my first time paintjob, and would like for it to look good so i dont have to re-do it. thanx......

akguanja · 02-03-2009, 04:38 PM

i used normal spray cans of wal-mart brand bedliner spray.

IDnewcrwlr · 02-03-2009, 05:20 PM

akguanja, you didnt use any kind of primer first b4 laying down the textured coat

and thats a plastic body right

header · 02-03-2009, 07:12 PM

i sprayed the whole body with red spraycan paint i think it was krylon.(not fusion) then did the bed with the liner. took a couple coats on the liner.

its a tamiya highlift toyota hilux
theres no weight difference to speak of. its just for looks.

Ansio · 02-03-2009, 08:59 PM

i love the bed liner idea, that looks really slick

STANG KILLA SS · 02-03-2009, 09:09 PM

plastidip spray paint works great too. and is even rubbery like rhino liner ;) about as scale as it gets.

BJoe · 02-05-2009, 01:38 AM

The Wal-Mart spray liner that keeps getting mentioned is probably Dupli-Color, it works good but make sure you use their adheasion promoter first if you're spraying it on lexan.

kyrel69 · 02-07-2009, 10:20 AM

I used spay on out of a can on my 1:1 jeep it holds up well on it should work great on RCs

drumbeater · 02-07-2009, 10:33 AM

Just pick up some black rubberized paint. It will work great.
