I'd like to give ya better advice but I'm still 50-50 as far as the actual painting part . I'm great at the graphics and stuff but the last body I did I screwed up. What I usually do is get all the graphics and stuff laid out then give it to a friend of mine who airbrushes . This past one I tried to do myself with spray cans to try and save a few bucks and totally screwed it up . From what my friend tells me it was more than likely to cold in my basement and that's what screwed up the paint . My suggestion to you is to find someone who airbrushes or try it yourself but practice on clear pop bottles like I've been doing . Still sending my current body out but I'm getting better . If you live anywhere near Tool in Vegas hit him up maybe he can do it for ya

Thanks Jeff idk what happened with the video load lol anyway hope it helps . The few paint jobs that actually came out when I did it were just plain one color paint schemes . It's when I tried the 2 color scheme that I had trouble .

Yeah Jeff, it looks good from here. I back up all my colors with white and then when Im done competely, I spray the entire inside white. One thing though is, I do not cut out any body vents, wheel wells ect until im completely done painting. I paint, cut, pull the protective coating off, then decal and go race!

Yeah my friend that does my bodies backs the colors with white and if the main color IS white he uses silver . Not only does it help the colors pop it also adds another of paint to protect the paint from tire rubs . Another thing I do to protect it is put black vinyl tape in the wheel wells as well as other places that tend to rub . Like where the shock towers are , around the holes where the body post go thru , and near the rear bumper

Tool hey bro is your Polaris paint scheme that PRO-LINE Raptor ? I know you told me but I forget . It looks alot different than my JConcepts Raptor especially with the hood vents . Basically just asking so all the newbies can see all the different bodies out there ( and yes people there are Chevys out there I'm just diehard Ford guy in case you haven't noticed lol )
