Hi kids. I am the retired regional champ HO scale open class slot car guy here and I painted lots of bodys by duct taping them top down to a cutting wheel of a dremel tool. I would then drop a drop of paint into the body while spinning it with the dremel, inside a box cuz of the mess. Sometimes two different colors.Then when it's dry you paint the base color overall with a brush. This spinning action produces the coolest slot cars you ever saw. I don't have any left to show you as I go real fast and I wreck real hard.

That is a wicked paintjob! Is that done from inside also? It's gotta be hard painting backwards.....

hey guys that is some kewl work. just curious how many hrs do you have in a panitjob like that and what do you charge. from the looks of it most guys could not aford it. come to think of it the the guys I drive with could becaues they think we should do it for free just so they can look cool . anyway very kewl work.

[Lidz]

hahaha....better watch it sean or charlie will start posting and make us all feel weak ;)

ripin, we get around $100 give or take for the nice paintjobs

[extremepaint]

holy crap! sean! :tup: good job on the fire and the rest of your bodys are friggen incredible!! why havnt you made it over to www.cfxpaintworks.com !??

[SeanOzz]

yeah, i'd say 60-100 depending on the job. i have put in 30 minutes up to 6 hours plus on one. Been thinking of doing it for just buddies and the rare here and there so i can put my time into painting not reversed, getting old to have to do things backwards then go to work and tattoo right side out. lol

my minds all backwards now. ha ha ha

Josh told me about CFX, i think i might have registered even, can't remember? (to many fumes) i remember at the time i was swamped busy and not surfin as much. maybe it's time to check it out again. what's it about again?

oh and thanks a bunch on the compliments.
gotta split to work.
running late like always. lol

Very Very nice!

[Craig Fraser]

Sorry for not responding to the original post. I must have missed this one. It has been a while since I have done a car, I will have to dig around, and find some pics. For those that subscribe to Airbrush Action, I had an article on painting a T-Max,..about 3 years ago. Can't find the issue myself,...typical. Well. If I can't find any of the old pics, I am doing a new one for the book. I will post pics of that once I finish it. By the way, very kewl stuff you got their.

paint on

[air-brush dude]

what about rc jets?

[willz0072002]

ya ditto ripins post...

also..painting backwards...seems super difficult how did you guys get started?

[SeanOzz]

well i been tattooing for 12 years and started racing rc cars, so i enjoyed trying to paint my own abd buddys, one person saw it and asked and it was like dominoes. it sucks painting backwards then going back to tattooing and going back to forward and vice versa. lol

[charlie_b]

i know the feeling...but in all honesty, painting "backwards" makes more sense to me now then painting "normally" =)

[Lidz]

what about rc jets?

the jets in your gallery are AWESOME! nice work!:clap:

[air-brush dude]

Thanks Lidz, I'm learnin.

[SeanOzz]
