Anyone have an archive of vintage paint jobs??
I have a bunch of bodies I need to paint and I need pictures to get ideas from for vintage paint schemes. Anyone have an archive of some sort?

Re: Anyone have an archive of vintage paint jobs??
i have some random pictures on my hard drive at home..
we just started a paint section here after i recommended it, ive been meaning to throw some stuff in but been lazy
Best bet is to goto tamiyaclub and search for the car/body you want and see what other people did there, you will get a crapload of stuff but some good pics. time tunnel also has great schemes

Yeah I used time tunnel for some vehicles,Tamiya club members do mostly box art paint jobs so that won't do any good. I am seeking pro grade hand laid paint jobs. Where is your paint section?

www.cfxpaintworks.com is the premier site for rc airbrushers but mostly not vintage. great site to tips and such
Re: Anyone have an archive of vintage paint jobs??
I usually just type the car name into a browser and search for images on the net. Unless it's a really rare car you always get plenty of hits. Even cars with beat up shells can give you good ideas.

I'm looking for ideas on an Kyosho outlaw ultima right now. The decals are impossible to get so I have to settle on plain paint.

I saw that one,thats a different truck than what I have. My truck is an outlaw ultima,that is an outlaw raider which was the next step down with different chassis,body,and decals.

I'm glad I still have all my old RCCAs, they're a great archive for vintage paint jobs.
