Trying my hand at some flames for my mini t

[Sporttracguy]

well a month or so i picked up a mini T on ebay for cheap, it was compleatly stock and sort of fun but slow. Recently i upped the power to a gp1100 7 cell (8.2volt) pack with a big block motor, speed bearings, and some street tires. This baby flies but the used beat up crowd pleaser body was something to be desired so i picked up this EXT body and today got some free time to try my painting skills. I must say painting from the inside is a hell of alot harder than from the outside but the end result turned out pretty nice. What do you think?

For the flames i just used masking tape and an xacto knife, taped her off and painted,, then i removed the tape and painted the whole inside metalic red,, i left the headlights clear behind the semi clear stickers so i can put some LEDs in there later

Ill get some shots of her on the T as soon as the paint cures, its still a little tacky at the moment.

plan on getting that body for my 18t, looks nice with the red behind the red im thinkin black with white flames.

yeah, believe it or not the flames are actualy competition orange and the back ground is a metalic red,, I was going to do red with silver flames but they were out of silver so i figured orange would work just fine

[civicsr2cool]

thought it was orange then i kept looking at the first one then was like its gotta be red. looks very nice though. dunno if the silver would be that much better though the orange is great

edit: wasnt gonna add this but i think i see a bleed on the windshield

Great job on those flames. Looks very nice. Now here is a comment you probably weren't expecting... shouldn't the end of the cab be black? Good chance this is just me, but it feels like it should.
