JCSO605 Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Has anyone ever tried using transparent paint on a clear hood? I am aiming for the clear smoke look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1JUANstunna Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 10 parts clear to 1 part color. Usually works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#1JUANstunna Posted April 10, 2015 Report Share Posted April 10, 2015 Disclaimer: I've only done this to taillights to smoke them. It works well for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Look in to what guys are doing to RC hobby car bodies. Lots of them start off clear and wind up pretty bitchin' with some simple techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 Skeets right, paint it from the inside like an rx car. Is the the hood lexan? With tamiya paints you can get a metallic and they lay down transparent as they are then backed by another colour to add depth, and so you can change the tone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted April 14, 2015 Report Share Posted April 14, 2015 They also do a smoke colour that they use to give a rc car a tinted window look. Here's a vid for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
