I got my Baja 5T (clear shell) few days ago and I don't have time to paint it until yesterday. So i search around and found this paint job by Tarnish:

So i went to LHS and buy Tamiya paint no. PS-28, PS-25 and PS-17, but they have no more masking tape in stock. Then i was suggested by my wife to go to a stationary and get A4 size sticker, so i spend about 1 dollar and get 8 of them. As i return home, i draw the camo outline and my wife help me cut them. Took full 10 hour to do this. It was a tedious work but it pay off in the end. Here's the flow.
The clear shell:
After put all of the masking tape:

From the link i give above, Tarn suggest to paint the dark color 1st. But I paint mine the bright color first. But I spray an undercoat paint after the first layer, so that the darker 2nd layer will not affect the 1st layer:
The 1st layer (PS-28) + undercoat:
Then I paint the 2nd layer (PS-25) + another undercoat:
Then 3rd layer (PS-17):
I planned to remove the front grill and replace it with real aluminium grill but as for now i just paint it black:

And this is when i put them on the chassis:
