Who's the painter?
So now that Eau Rouge is out of action (just as I get back in the game
) to whom do I turn?

Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Re: Who's the painter?
My friend is interested in getting involved.
He is of the top airbrush artists (commercially) for Sports banners.
He use to race his R/C at the Ranch Pit Shop too...
Back when...he used to paint bodys for himself and friends.
I have known him for over 20 years. He said he would be interested in spraying bodys for profit, as he is no longer a hobbyist. He would setup about 15-20 of a particular style at a time. It would be during his "off season" from spraying banners and such.

He didnt give me a timeline, but I just talked to him about it again tonight, and he said in a few weeks when Baseball banner season is over he will look into it.

Re: Who's the painter?
a week or so ago there was a B4 on ebay that had a masami paint job on it, I emailed the seller and got to chatting with him, His name is Greg Cummings and does work under the Banner "Guru Designs" here's his facebook photo page, the masami is down the page a bit. does a lot of nice, painted numbers and such.

Re: Who's the painter?
There's plenty of guys in the UK that offer a painting service... just look on Oople under the 'R/C graphy' section
I like to paint all my own shells - but i'm plucking up the courage to do a Masami style shell too... but I think it might be a bit more than I can manage

Re: Who's the painter?
Since we are somewhat close, let me know if this pans out. I need to order a couple Protech's and get them both painted up (same for both bodies). I'm itching to have my car look like something decent instead of my hack jobs...fordtransman wrote:My friend Reggie is interested in getting involved.

Re: Who's the painter?
Thanks for the tip, I've used Blitzer Boy with mixed results, I've thought about giving John Miller a spin. This chap did a fantastic job on my Pro CAT http://www.airheadgraphics.com I might give him another go.DerbyDan wrote:There's plenty of guys in the UK that offer a painting service... just look on Oople under the 'R/C graphy' section![]()
I have a Yok Works 91 shell that I need painting but I'm nervous about it getting ruined

Re: Who's the painter?
Noted. I am going to have him Paint a Protech in a couple of weeks (he is tied up with some photography projects) that is themed to my my " Custom RC10 Project " That is not yet revealed... It will give an idea of his self proclaimed "Mad Skills"JK Racing wrote:Since we are somewhat close, let me know if this pans out.

Re: Who's the painter?
I met this guy in a hobbyshop in VA he's trying to get a painting business going. I am not promoting him but I did however buy one of his bodys. call him direct.
here is the body I bought it is 100% paint no decals at all.
