Need someone to paint my Wraith Blazer body
 
I was wondering if you guys knew of anyone who can do a paint job for me. I have an Axial Wraith that I bought a new Dynamic Concepts Blazer body for. I'd like to find a pro painter to do a 4 color digital camo scheme on it and assemble it with shoe goo. Got any suggestions?

I'll try this again, hopefully with a different result...

How much are you willing to spend?
The reason I ask--- for around $150, you could get a decent airbrush, paint, and stencil kit; and just do the work yourself.
And the bonus-you keep all the left-over paints, stencil, and the airbrush...for next time.

There is an artist on YouTube- I believe his name is Tony D.
He did a video tutorial on digital camo where he painted an X-Box. Didn't look difficult at all, with the proper stencil.

I believe his channel is Airbrush Tricks....but it's been a while since I've watched any of his vids.

Cheers.

Custom paint jobs are not cheap, I paint them all the time and they get ran. Things cost money if you want something cool and one off. How else are we supposed to make any money when we paint bodies for people. I used to do it for cheap but after a while I had to jack up the prices to be able to make some money. Shipping and material adds up along with the time that we put into it.

We spend $300+ for a truck
Another $150 for battery and charger.
Add another Franklin for wheels and tires.
$90-ish for metal gear'd servo
Add some aluminum- $90+
55T motor, 15 clams
Trail accessories....30 bones(?)
The list continues...

I don't there is a limit on what people will spend to have something original, unique, or custom.
I'm not one to judge, so, if someone wants to bash a hard body scaler, I hope it makes a cool video.

As for the head light fluid, I don't think has much of a market, however, if you had some blinker fluid...
