Pro-line Baja Bug Body for Slash

 

I picked up this Pro-Line body for the kiddos Slash. He drives like a mad man and flips it a lot. I am thinking the rounded top might help some with that. He also likes VW bugs and I think it looks cool on the Slash.

 

Paint used:

Pactra RC265 - Metallic Blue

Pactra RC279 - Fluorescent Yellow

Pactra RC290 - White Fluorescent Cover (backing)

 

 

Before starting the masking or painting, it's always best to clean the inside of the body with warm soapy water or what I use, denatured alcohol. I've done this for all of my bodies, but always forgot to take a pic.

 

 

I used a combination of taping and liquid mask on this project. For obvious reasons.

 

 

Starting with the blue, I applied 5 light coats. Then the silver and finally the ultra bright yellow.

 

 

Backed it with white to make the blue and yellow pop even more.
