Last pic I spent probably 30 mins tops painting it with my dual stage air brush. One thing if you use parma paint (not sure about the other brands) you can brush it on it will take a lot longer, but you can get some really nice results.Įxamples of whats doable ( I would post a pic of a single action airbrush but honestly I disliked how most came out and had to re touch a quite a bit up by hand on them)ġst 2 pics I hand painted counting drying time, and putting 4-5 coats of each color to get a uniform look with no brush strokes it took me roughly 7 hours (probably an hour of actual painting) (2nd is a mt1 body which I think might fit the rustler)

Pick up a set of model paint brushes too they should run you $5-7 for a nice variety pack.Īlso don't get a single stage one like the badger that has the bottle under the tip those I find suck ass. Also the PSI on the can I find fluctuates quite a bit and requires constant fiddling. I find it better than buying the aresol cans last time I used one the damn can died out halfway through a coat, and I didn't have another. I will say one thing get a small compressor (1-2 gallon is decent enough) you can usually pick them up for $90 or so if you shop around. I know they look decent on a pede, and fit them well I'm not sure how much different the wheelbase is on the rustler from the pede.Īs for airbrush kits I got my double action airbrush off ebay for $25 shipped I got one that was marketed for nail airbrushing, and after looking most of them were the same exact thing just with a different package.
