A workmate who's into 1:8 scale nitro RC racing has asked me to paint a body for his car. His racing colours are orange, white and blue. He wants a 4 colour camo pattern, using his three colours and black. He wants it predominately white, so it'll be easier to see when racing in the winter, a lot of the racing is done at night under flood lights, and he finds it easier to see a white car when it's at the other end of the course.
He's supplied me with the body, and some paints that are formulated for spraying polycarbonate, I think they are a laquer, a bit like Alclad, they actually etch the plastic.
He couldn't get orange paint, so I'll have to mix it.
He also gave me some liquid mask. I'm going to do a practice run on a sheet of acetate with Tamiya acrylics, I can bring it into work and see if he approves of the pattern. Right now I've given the acetate a couple of coats of the liquid mask, it needs a few more before I start cutting out the pattern.
This Fasmask stuff dries clear, it's a lot easier to paint on than humrol maskol, he said I can keep the bottle, I'll try it out on the Stuka canopy.
Will post more progress pics.
