STEP 10- Spray the body in several light coats. When you remove the warm can from the water shake again quickly to make sure the contents are well mixed. The hot water will build up pressure in the can allowing it to spray better and with a finer pattern. Then place the can in a dish of hot water. First shake the can rigorously for a few minutes to mix the contents. I know what you’re thinking, its just spray paint! Bomb it! No, we’re going to show you the right way. STEP 8- Here all the graphics have been cut out and the excess mask removed, its a good idea to go over all the masking edges with the back of your finger nail to work out any air bubbles, seal the edges to the body and prevent paint bleeds. STEP 7- Once you have cut out the flames, remove the mask from the area where you will paint the main color. I like to tell people not to lift the knife so you never loose your spot on a cut the exception is when you get to points like the ones here on the flames. STEP 6- With a hobby knife and new blade, trace cut the graphic on the mask inside. Big swoops on the graphics look great on the larger body panels. Here I’m laying down an exaggerated tribal style flame. Parma makes a great Dual Tip Marker for drawing on bodies. STEP 5- Use a marker to draw the specific flame style you like. Your tape overlaps should be minimal so its not difficult to cut through later. STEP 4- Some wait until after they draw the graphic on the outside of the body to lay masking tape on the inside of the body, I on the other hand lay it down first and draw the graphics within the masked areas. To get the mask to adhere properly, use a heat gun or hair dryer to warm up the mask and then run your finger nail along the edges to set the masks adhesive to the lexan. STEP 3- Not all masks lay on the body nice and even.
STEP 2- Apply the included masks to the body. This will get rid of any oils on the body. STEP 1- As with all bodies to be painted, head over to the kitchen sink, turn the tap on with warm water, squirt some dish soap into the body and wash the inside thoroughly.

But Project Jallopy needed a cool finish so we selected Bright White, Bright Yellow, Competition Orange and Bright Red for the flames Silver Streak to outline the windows and flames and Metalic Red for the main color. One can is enough to paint most bodies in a single color. It comes with window and light masks and the body itself has a overspray film that you’ll remove after painting.ĭuratrax offers a wide range of colors in 4.5oz spray cans. Parma’s Fifty Five Baja body has a cool classic hot rod look to it and fits most short course trucks perfectly. Oh and we did it without an airbrush! Yes, this paint job here is done entirely with Duratrax’s new Spray Paints. So as we prepped the body for the graphics and paint, we started grabbing some photos so you can follow along to see how easy it is to spray a flame scheme. One color, stripes, checkers and then it hit us, the classic flame paint scheme you just can’t go wrong with flames.

The question in our minds was how to paint it. As we finished up our Project Jallopy build (you did follow it right?) it was time to lay down some paint on the Parma Fifty Five Baja Body we selected for the machine.
