You can get down to 0.2mm thin art markers to do them, and the work is great- I don't see it all being freehand but the method really does not matter to me!

To think I payed for painted bodies because of those thin lines and all it takes is a paint stick.

A paint stick and the right slide of hand... you don't want it to look like your 3 year old drew the Silly Rabbit on the hood.

that flame job looks like a wrap, cool but ??
as for the thin lines in the old days a sharpie was the tool
however there is a technique to airbrushing then on the inside
it may be a while but I'll post up when I do the next one
actually I need to get enough posts to post pics

No you don't, only to access the BST section. Here is a tutorial: http://www.rc10talk.com/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=16337

I emailed him last night asking the same thing.

Did you ever get a response?

I did, from the painter and his dad who does the annodizing. I need to get back to them both.

It would be awesome if they could match for instance the RC10 or Kyosho gold.

Some of my favorites:

wow, i really like that orange/purple truck. man does that thing catch your eye, makes it real easy to see going down the backstrech from the drivers stand.

I use to tape 2 exacto blades together and cut the liquid mask. I modified my exacto to hold the 2 blades...but I noticed that sometimes, holding it by hand gave me more control.
