RC Arlos 24KRC GR Yaris - Build - Part 2 Paint

Well you can see the colour. Tamiya PS Anodised Blue Metallic backed with White then Ultimate black

You never really know until you pull off that protective film. But thats another part to the story. 

With so many detail points that are impossible to mask, the only option is to paint on the outside with black details.

As mentioned in the last post, Arlos have about 20 extra parts for this body like grills and other items. while they are nice, from 5 meters away you will not see them. so I'm skipping all that cutting and I'll do some of my own customisation.

With the main colour on , I knew the GR yaris had the forged carbon roof, so as thats a main feature, I thought I'd go with that also. 

While not perfect, the old plastic wipe technique worked ok. with gun metal.

A good three hour battle with masking and painting gets you pretty far along.

far enough to see what you are dealing with. 

I think there are some black rims comin onto this. to suit the other contrasts. 

Stay tuned for assembly before debut at RC Drift QLD.
