Vintage Bolink Nastruck body with fresh new paint on RC10LSO

[durb69]

I have had this body for years and years. Probably almost 20 actually. I washed the dust off and painted it up.

That's cool. You should make some chrome covers to put over the rear body mounts, it would make them look like exhaust stacks!

ha ha thats exactly what i thought of after mounting it. probably going to cut em off short. but might make the stacks. cool idea !

what did you do to get the checker pattern?

[durb69]

I started out using masking tape and laid it across one way and then went criss cross the other way then spent a few hours cutting out every other square to leave a checker pattern. Total pain in the a**! But I think it looks ok. I was going to use blue on the back instead of white and also only wanted to go half way back at an angle with the orange but I changed it last min. Looks ok for a rattle can and masking tape job. I gotta get my air brush out again. I used to custom paint 1/24 scale slot car bodies. That was in my teens though. In my 30's now. Still a big kid ha ha

Should I put decals on it? Or rock the paint only?

I think that your style of paint scheme would be complimented by some race decals!

or u could just get some small aluminum tube and put a slight bend in it at the top and polish it up to a shine.
