oompa loompa radio?

       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
thought i would try something a little different and throw some color at my dx3r, it sorta reminds me of an oompa loompa even they are orange and green!

what do you guys think?
p.s. the color is candy blue over silver flake with a silver base, it has a nice sparkle to it in the sun

Looks good! Never seen that before actually. So, you just mask it up and blast away?

i used pactra oil based fuel proof rc car paint, i did then clear it with some Top Flight gloss clear that we sell for aircraft cowlings, i only used the clear because pactra dries to a dull finish

Nice, you could have tossed some gliter in there but that would be too Pimp for you. I would call it a bass boat blue.
