Not sure on how I'm going to paint it yet... I'm sure it'll be something simple, but Pimpin'!!!

I'm still learnin'...

I'm still tryin' to figure out how the hell you guys get those fat a$$ paint jobs to come out soooooo good!!

Cabowabo, Crazydave, Hogjowlz, H??????34, and many more paint jobs I've seen that are off the hook!!!

Just keep postin' the pics for all to see!!!!!!

Some of the cars in my garage:

Thats a line up of my bits and clones. Oh, and a ZipZap SE.

This is the motorworks "hotrod". I took out the LED and
slapped on some rims from a Bensu. Other than that it's stock.

This be tha SuperSlick. I got the hop-up stuff and some
Skylines and Fairladies for it. I'm seriously considering
painting one of these bodies and have some rim ideas that
I want to try on this.

This is my favorite. Shen Qui Wi with the black rims from the
Tomy Skyline history set, blue MS gears, 4.2 Pro, and MS
Fairlady, even though I usually run the blue and silver Gloria
body that it came with. I plan on getting this car fetted when
I gets my tax return. On that note, I'm also sending the ZZSE,
and maybe this:

This is the ride in my avatar. My "pet project". It's a
motorworks with ZZ rims, and a MS Celica body, the
rest is stock. I have serious, serious plans for this one.
I would like to get a fetted Shen PCB put into it and get
one of them BitCharMotors 3.8's soldered in. And heavier
wiring. I have a body prepped and ready to shoot, but
the weather here isn't cooperating. I may have to go to
my Dad's house on saturday and hole up in his basement
all day to paint it. I'm also color-matching the tx at the
same time. (I'll just run it with the SuperSlick tx til it's done).
thanks for lookin.

Maybe you're getting closer to the car than your camera can handle. Notice that the blinds and the lamp in the background are what your camera is focused on... that might be your minimum distance for shooting. If you have a macro mode (usually has a little flower icon) make sure you are using it. If not, just back up until the car is in sharp focus, you can always crop the shot later to get the car bigger in the frame.

Here's my some of my new rides
all internal dual celled with dub city wheels and zipzap tires.I got 20 dub city cars and have been putting the wheels onto my bits all week.I am also lengthening a bit to go under a dub body but I will leave that to a another post {when it's done}.Sorry for the poor pictures my camera doesn'thave macro mode and I can't seem to find any working software {free}to try to crop the larger ones to get better shots.

Wow clxfiles, you got more SE's than some Shacks I've been to. That Mustang concept is sweet. So are the rides with the blowers. Good stuff.

Thanks Pimp... Got the SEs off Ebay. some guy sellin returns that didn't work so good. Just some soldering and some tweaks and they worked fine. Since he had so many, ended up being like 9 bucks a pop. uA hooked up the fet mod for me and now I'm havin some cool ass races around the garage with the kids...

The blower bods are from RC Muscle Machines. tweaked them to fit the ZZ chassis and threw a LI in there to match speed with the body (cept the bronze stang). The grey stang and bronze with blower are quads. The Yenko and Challenger are also LIpoly'd. They're all about the same speed, too bad they flip too ez (any suggestions). The rest on ground lvl are eithr dueled or Fetted cept the virgin Torino.
