Best Paint comp #4 (3 colors only)

[mab_man20]

Welcome everyone to the Forth Best Paint Competition!!

The best paint competition will be open for entrees for two weeks and will close at 12:00 AM May 15 at midnight.
Restrictions: Must use THREE COLORS. (All entrees must use 3 colors no more, no less. Different shades of one color is allowed (if you use two colors in a fade and a third color appears, it is still legal). Backing colors do not count, only the colors visible)

In the following two weeks (May 16 to May 30) we will hold the third Street/Race Competition. All entrees in the 4th Street/Race must be import cars.
Each month we will hold a Best Paint and Street/Race competition. If you can’t get your bodies done this month, don’t worry there will be plenty more to come!!

The winning bodies may appear in Radio Control Car Action or R/C Nitro!!


RULES for Best Paint:

1) Any body may be submitted to the competition (Truck, buggy, touring car, etc).
2) Any body submitted may NOT appear in another competition.
3) Photo editing the pictures (other than cropping and adjusting brightness/contrast) is highly looked down upon and may result in disqualification.
4) Anyone may enter a body (professional painters are welcome!)
5) Please refrain from insulting bodies in anyway.
6) Must fall within this month's restrictions (May restrictions: Must use 3 colors)
7) Only 2 entrees per person.
8) Bodies should be painted within the last 4 months.

Each submission must include the following:
Body manufacturer and size.
Paint used (please list the three visible colors).
Masks used (hand or precut)
Inspiration (could be another paint job).
And of course, a body.

This month hpirunner1976 will be judging the Best paint competition.

Each body will be judged by the following criteria (1-bad, 10-excellent):

Difficulty (score 1-10)
Over all design (score 1-10)
Execution (score 1-10)

The photo and background will not be judged. All that is needed is a clean photo that clearly shows the body.

Each month we will place some restriction on all entrees.

June restrictions:

Street/Race- None, any body is eligible.

GOOD LUCK

wing: Another beautiful job, but only 2 colors are visable. (it will be a perfect entree for this months best Street/Race Import comp though!) :)

Sparx: Cool. I like the tribal stuff. Maybe you could cover the wing dams with something blue and take another picture, or just take off the wing (lack of wing shouldnt effect the judging.) Otherwise you have 4 colors.

And what if the dams has a decal on each one? Coz it's decals

[mab_man20]

raymo24: Killer job!

Real Lemons: I love the bike!

Sparx: If they are decals your ok, but personally they look painted. Its a great body and its a great addition to the competition, but i dont want to start a controversy. If you can somehow make it three colors your golden! :)

Sorry for the goof, i copied raymo's name then looked at Lemon's bike. :eek: :( :)

The blue and silver have a nice metallic sparkle effect to them that can't be seen because my camera is pretty crappy. The black backed everything.

My first paintjob, so don't be too cruel. :)

This is my first and only attemp at an RC body...
Parma Chevy1500 body
Colors, Pearl Purple, Dark Blue and Silver, all testors rattle cans....
Masks used: all regular 3" masking tape..

Windows were done with a chrome strip that I bought at the Auto parts store .. Its originally usd for the bottom of cars but I improvised.... The headlight and taillight buckets are made from the same stuff... Marker lights and taillight are my wifes nail polish..(Yes I cought Heck for it) Headlight are white out... Ad the door handles were outlined with my Gumdaham felt marker..
Bascally this is my OLD SCHOOL HOME STLYE GHETTO BODY... Made from only stuff I had lying aound the house
This is also a great reason why I pay to have my shells done for me..
Thanks for lookin, BDV

[BIGDADDYV]

[BIGDADDYV]

Ok last and final one...If you must make comments please be nice..LOL..
I just posted to get the thread going again...
Great jobs everyone.. Lemmons I will have to get my Tiger Kit to your bike painter so he can do it up like my actual Hayabusa if he has the time...
Wont be for a bit but at least I know somone who paints them...
See ya BDV

[Real Lemons]

I painted my own bike, I personally wouldnt pay anyone to paint an RC body, but that is me. Regardless of the outcome its alot of fun to me. I am probably going to get another body soon, and i'll try out the hayabusa theme, since i can get the design from my father-in-law who just bought a brand new one.... I'll let you know whenever i get started on it and all.

[mab_man20]

Funkmaster: Great body, but im afraid the silver counts as a forth color. I wouldnt allow Sparx's body because he had a forth color on the wing dams. Im sorry, but i must draw the line somewhere and be consistant. I hope you understand and it does not discourage you from participating in this and other competitions.

orbitron: Nice mini. I think you win for most creative car/body combo.
:p

[Funkmaster]

Sorry, my fault. I guess I just forgot about the window surround.


:o :o :o

Well spotted !!


Like Arnie said "I'll be back" :D

[xENo]

This is my first attempt at painting a body. I used all cans and a parma tribal mask.....

...I hope the marker I used for the window border doesnt count as another color?


Body manufacturer and size: 200mm I forget the manufacturer, Infiniti G35
Paint used: Testors spray. Metallic green, indy silver, and a metallic purple color.
Masks used: Precut parma tribal
Inspiration: None, really.... just like the colors and tribals...

[mab_man20]

Funkmaster: After looking back through the thread, i noticed that almost every body had a window border which was either silver or black. All of these other bodies had decals, but you painted yours. I feel it is unfair to penalize you because your body did not come with the window trim decals. As a result I'm going to not count the window trim because it was painted in a manor that simulates the normal decal (i.e. was painted silver).

By the same logic, xENo's body will be eligible.

xENo: Love the tribal graphics! (see above)

cool head: Awesome bodies. However you are only allowed to enter 2 bodies per contest. Please read the instructions in the first post and give us the required info. If you can get the info for the cars in and tell us which to you want entered, then your cars will be judged.

Does anyone know if the red triangle and the stripe on the NSX is paint or a decal? I cant tell and dont want to accuse him of anything.


Eligible cars:
Mab_man20's Flag stratus
raymo24's Flame bmw
Real Lemons' bike
M03 Mainiac's rx7
RC Rodder's 2 clods
funkyboogalooo's checkered stratus
Casey's XXX-NT
T3GT's Color changing crowd pleazer
sixandeightstringer's Bekins truck
therapy's drippin GMC
Go Faster's checkered alfa
Champ29's stratus
Funkmaster's VW
orbitron's mini (which is mounted on a truck lol)
xENo's G35
cool head: Pending he supplies the info for the bodies, and selects 2. Also i need varification on the red. Is it paint or an included decal?

Thanks for posting and good luck to everyone!!!!

[cool head]

sorry, the nsx is out. forgot about the red, i tried to del it, but it wouldn't let me. both the eclipse and the diablo are HPI bodies 200mm w/ 3 colors all pharma. hand masked!

[Goose98]

Realized this body meets the contest rules, so I thought I'd throw it in there for the heck of it. For this body, I tried doing something a little different with fading the silver in to the blue. I used the blue for a very light shadowing on the yellow (probably won't be able to see it in these pics). In hindsight, I probably would've liked to shadow the yellow more than I did.

BODY: Protoform Vauxhall/Opel Vectra 200mm
PAINT: Fasfluorescent Yellow, Faspearl Sliver, Fasescent Blue
MASK: Hand cut
INSPIRATION: My imagination

Goose98 - I vote for your car to win :P

I like your use of colors, decal layout, and the colors stand out....great job.

[Goose98]

Thanks Nexus... This is one of those last minute paint jobs that actually turned out pretty good. I was trying for something that was not too difficult to mask and shoot but still looked pretty flashy in the end. Sometimes the simple ones turn out better than you think.:)

[mab_man20]

Goose: I love the body! Unfortunately the contest ended on May 14th at midnight. :(

I have emailed hpirunner, but i have not heard from him. If he has not judged by saturday night, i will declare myself the winn....i mean judge the contest myself. :):p

[Goose98]

Ooooops! My bad.... I thought it was midnight of the 15'th. Oh well, maybe next time.

I liked your body best too, although the front kinda looks funny all bright and all, the back with the arrow-looking yellow on blue looks awesome to me, great effort and you really should enter it in to another comp, because it has a great chance of winning. keep up the good work.

[mab_man20]

Goose: You should enter it in the June Best paint comp (starts June 1st). There will be no restrictions so anything goes!

still no judge...:(

[XXX/TC3 Racer]

Hey gosse98, how'd you do taht fade from teh silver to the blue? first the silver, then blue? I have done fade jobs for my cars, trying both ways, but they look different..liek a different technique..

I have a Stratus I will be painting up soon..I plan on entering it for some painting comps, and my other boides too..so, I lok forward to the competition..

-A. Swift

"I've never lost a race..I've only come up a little behind, when time ran out.."

[Goose98]

XXX/TC3 Racer> I shot the blue first, then the silver. My technique... first I take a marker and draw a reference line on the outside of the body, where I want to make the fade happen. I'll start shooting at the line and work my way back... applying more coats further away from the reference line. Also, remember to always shoot away from the area where the second color is going to be, to minimize overspray.

[XXX/TC3 Racer]

Wow! I should try that..I usually have done a fade, from dark to light, and or light to dark..never like that..I will do that for my stratus..I can't wait..

-A. Swift

[mab_man20]

testing.

[mab_man20]

Since hpirunner never came by and didnt respond to my emails, i got stuck judging (after going though it i have an even greater respect for our past and future judges!)

Without further ado.........


Third Place: with 21 points is Real Lemons' Motorcycle!
Cleanly cut lines and even black pin striping contributed with an excellent eye catching design to squeeze by a few close challangers.

Second Place: with 23.5 points is Funkmaster's Jetta!
The clean rear checkers and the extent of cutting and use of the "graphite" technique paid off!

And first place and our first repeat winner with 25.5 points is.....

T3GT!

He scored high in all three points catagories with an excellent design, difficult hand cut masking and nearly flawless execution.

Congrats to the winners!

If anyone wishes me to elaborate on their work email me.

Thanks to everyone who entered!!!

[XXX/TC3 Racer]

Erm, wasn't the jetta eliminated? I don't mean to be rude, but I thought it was, because it had too many colors..jsut trying to state the rules..other than that, funkmaster, I loved that body..good job..Oh, and how would you go about shading the blue, into the "graphite", like the blue was standing away from the "graphite"?

Yes the body used 4 colors (yellow, pink, blue and silver) but because proline bodies do not come with decals for the window trim, i did not count the window trim as a color because it was a color (silver) that mimicked the decals that most other body mfg's include with the body.

I hope this makes sense.

[T3GT]

WOW!!!....Thanks Mab_man20.......I didn't expect to win this one.....I really wanted to put that scheme on a touring car body in the regular Red and White colors.....but I stopped running my TC3 and went back to my T3 at the local Dirt Track!!!!....So what you see is the outcome, the Holden Scheme in my New Race Colors!!!!:D

BTW....Thanks for stepping in there!!!.........Judging is more involved then you remember from before huh.....:p .....It took me a whole night to really look everything over and get critical with my Final 5 Pics!!...Good Job!!!:D

[Real Lemons]

for some reason or another my webpage along with my log in name for my comcast account got deleted sometime recently, so therefore the pictures of my bike no long show up, so just incase anyone wanted to see it i'll repost them...

Also T3GT, You body totally deserved to win, it is awesome, hard to believe it was all done by hand, i know that I for one wouldnt be able to even concoct an idea like that, much less put it together, great job man....

Thanks Real Lemons......The hard part of that paint job was the masking, Drawing it the right size and cutting it out(time consuming too).....the painting itself was easy, just spray:D (I've got pics of every stage in the process......A friend wanted to see how it was coming out)

BTW---Cool Bike!!....I like it:D

wing, how do you make those pics? I think that if more people knew how to, more people would use them..and make them..then, it would take less time to load, and less space on rcca's server to host the pics..in the end, everyone would be happy! is it a regular program we can use? free download? etc?

Just wondering why people were still posting their bodies in this competition?

"The best paint competition will be open for entrees for two weeks and will close at 12:00 AM May 15 at midnight. "

Just a thought

Phil is right. I have no problem with you posting here, but the competition ended a LONG time ago. Please check out the newest competition and enter your bodies there.
