My first painted body

[Daytona952]

I did my first body this weekend and I was really surprised at how good it came out. First I masked off the body except for the roll bar, fenders and bumpers then spray painted them black. Next came the Gomango orange which was translucent so I backed it with metallic silver. After the paint was dry I removed the window mask and used spray tint on the windows, applied the decals and I was very happy with the results. Here are some pics.

I had some left over paint I had mixed at a auto paint store for the interior plastic parts of my Dodge Ram Daytona Truck.

The Jeep was my first lid too. I consider that a hobby itself.

You did a great job. Looks terrific.

As already asked, what paint and color did you use?

Both cars look really great Daytona. What tires/rims do you have on your savage?

The wheels are RPM Revolvers 3/4 offset and the tires are RD Logics.

Not sure if I will bash this body right away. I do hope the paint will hold up. It was mixed for plastic with a flex agent added. I also gave the body a light scuff with 3M cleaner/scuff pad.
