how much time did it took u and at how many psi does it take for normal paint, not alcad, to be not too thin or too thick cuz im planing buying a air brush

and what color do you need to back up colors like the green on yourmicro, ( the color im gona use to paint my sivic body once i buy it)

and i never painted a r/c body before, not even my porshe yet cuz its too cold in canada

this one took a few days cause i had to cut out the liquid mask as i went along. as for the PSI for airbrushing i'm not really sure what the correct settings are, i use between 12psi and 28psi depending on the paint i'm using. all the bodies i paint i back them with 'indy silver'. this is just my preference, using light colours like silver or white will let you colours look brighter and standout, backing with black usually darkens the top colours.

i hope this helps, and good luck painting your bodies once you get started!!!

when you cut the liquid mask, doesn't it scrap the body too?
