You can do that screen effect with plastic canvas (its sold at Walmart in the crafts section), using it as a mask. I have also used that stuff on a scaler.

Thank's alot guy's, the axial on the side's are in chrome also, it's just hard to get a good pic of it. ol'DDS the screen in the window's is paint, everything is paint no stickers or screen.

Nice effect, care to share how you did the screened part?

It looks good, Im not a big fan of chrome and camo together but that looks good

[Shocker]

Wow, it turn out very nice. The mesh screen looks real good. And the camo & chrome flow surprisingly well together. Everything cept that Axial sticker on the bed. It just doesnt go with your kick a$$ paintjob.

All you have to do is get some drywall tape. like this you can find it at a bulding supply store

it is sticky so you can just stick it where you want it on the body. Then shoot a bunch of very light layer's of black paint untill it is opaque. After that just pull the tape up, and shoot some grey down to fill in the wire part.

I agree Shocker, i just thought it would'nt be an Axial body without a touch of Axial green in it. But it is to late now, live and learn. lol

I well-placed "Holmes Hobbies" decal can fix that. :thumb:

Anything that may blend better with your well done "camo-theme".
