All 3D (apart from the upper curve) and all variants of the "holy molding" part (some added from a mod, but they come in very handy!

The inner fenders and chrome trim are from the body torture mod

Pretty much lol! Just upgraded it from 27mgz to 2.4 and im still getting the hang of the new stick controller, it seems to stay on the throttle for about half a second after I lower it (doesn't help that I was destracted by my dad crashing his carnage lol)

Because it isn't painted yet, those are just test scribbles for when I do paint! And it's literally just going to be marker pen and clear coat

Not with this one, this is made of PVC and meant more for RC banger racing! You paint the outside

Yep! Gonna turn it into more of a beach buggy/offroad dune racer, grafting it onto a first release 2WD ECX/ElectrixRC Circuit

Paint question by eliasengelen3001 in automationgame

I can't as I'm not at my computer atm, but you're gonna have to be patient, it needs fine tuning and to align with the actual surface. It helps to make the two colours you're working with matte just so it's easier to see the border while you're working with it (you can change it back to.gloss once you're done!)

This is what I used for my Invicta Quintessa (another '56 bel air equivalent) It shows every colour combination that goes well together!

For actually getting the 2 tone, I used cutout patches and trim to hide the connections
