Translucent box art paint job

[limestang]

Have you tried one of the RC painting companies? Darksidedesigns does great work.

[askbob]

Yep he said it couldn't be done. A couple of others said the same.

[integra22t]

what box art are you looking to have done ? i might have the colors

[askbob]

The original box art.

[integra22t]

i take its the orange body .. i cant see the body comming out the same color but i might beable to get close .. the stripes shouldnt be a problem but have to think about it

[askbob]

It wouldn't have to be exact just box art esque you could say.

[integra22t]

yes it can be done but there is couple of problems

if done it has to be masked off for each paint .. not hard if you have a vinyl cutter ( i dont yet )

i would have to pick up 8 candy colors ( around $78 cost )

so unless you want to spend a good chunk of money on it i wont beable to sorry

it can be done just costly

[askbob]

Cost is not much of an issue. Just need to know it can be done and how it will turn out.

[integra22t]

it can be done .. alot of masking .. it would be like painting 3 cars ... the colors wont be exact as candys need a backing color

as for masking .. i would need ether a vinyl cutter or have to go to a vinyl shop and have some cut out as they need to be exact

anything can be done but being diffrent costs

i like trying things people said cant be done .. usaly i do one off jobs that never got done again

the only other thing is this would have to be done for a shelfer and might get scrached taking it on and off .. and if it was it would never beable to be touched up

[askbob]

Sounds like a probability then.
Let me know if you can get the vinyl cut that you need.

You may have seen this, but DemZ kept the body of his partially clear and I think it's a pretty cool look. Not quite the same of course, but worth a look.

Still looking to have this done if there is anyone willing to give it a shot.
