Hey , I just thought I would get a picture of the new jammin x1 on here, I just got 3 of them and they are really nice. Almost Identical to the mbx 5 cp but with bigger shock tower openings and the fuel hole is about 1/4 inch farther foreward. I love OFNA buggies, but there lexan is paper thin and brittle. This P line body should be a blessing
for X1 owners. R.I.P. Fat bastard, Stan www.1stPlaceRace.com

The blue is createx blue glitter sprayed in createx matte coat. The shading was done before the glitter was applied. Then I sprayed a little createx midnight blue and finished it up with createx irridescent electric blue. Painting with glitter can be a disaster if you let it dry overnight before removing the design masking. Remove your mask as soon as the paint is dry to the touch and you will get nice clean lines. Parma faskoat and fasglitter is the exact same as createx and is easy to find in most cases at your LHS..

Hey thanks triple six, it has been alot of fun using the metal flake. I wish I was a art/ color wheel guru though. I have red,blue,copper,gold, mother of pearl, dark purple, light purple, green and silver glitter. Since it goes on in a clear coat you can back it with any color, making sparkle/paint combinations pretty much endless. My favorite is probably blue metal flake backed with gloss black. (you can check that color combo out on my own personal xxxnt ( http://www.1stplacerace.com/Paint%20Job%20Pictures/1-10%20scale%20pix/pix55-70/66-071003-022fS.JPG )
