brother-in-laws brother paints real flames, but hasn't been able to figure out a way to do it on rc cars. he says it has to be painted in reverse order than he normally does it. www.trueflames.com

We've got a few vendors here that specialize in paint work. Check the vendors section.

the only guy here that used to do a true flame was ftr which hasnt been here in a long time. i tried asking the other paint vendors about this and was ignored

Those are great paint jobs. I wish I could paint like that. I wanted to do flames on my truck. I would like to do lightening next paint job.

Lightning is actually pretty easy. This is my first attempt at it and my first time using an old siphon feed external mix airbrush (I broke the Iwata I usually use:x)

glad you liked it and hope it gave you some good info, i crammed alot of stuff into that howto so it is a bit much to take in.....

i tried some fire from what i`ve seen
i made stencil like seen on web from plastic and used tamiya colors and badger 360 airbrush
its not the best result but its only first try

 

[dirtyal]

Not bad for the first try"thumbsup" I've done worse. I always use SpazStix paints when I do mine.

 

[matador88]

i have tamiya colors at home even clear (candy) so i dont want to buy expensive colors...

 

[dirtyal]

As long as the candies are true candy you'll be alright. Its all personal preference.:lol:

 

[matador88]

interesting will be to try "reverse" painting procedure - when you paint from inside you have to use reverse painting order...

 

[dirtyal]

Yeah its a little different. Just practice on a scrap piece first.

Great look

I love the real flame look. If you can find someone to do it right its worth the money."thumbsup"

Yeah, ftr does good work... Too bad he left the forum after I paid him $150 bucks for a grappler body, that I never did receive... That POS needs to pay up or send me my F@&#ing body. I know that he lives, or used to live in Boise Idaho, which happens to be my old stomping ground. I just so happen to be going back their in June... Hope to be able to find him.:x
