Here are some pictures of the two Rustler bodies I've painted.  Only two so far but I expect there to be more.

The black and gold body is the Parma replacement shell, the blue one is the stock Traxxas body.  All paints are Parma water based acrylic and airbrushed on with an Iwata Revolution airbrush.

Colors used were Faspearl Black, and Faspearl Gold for the body.  The white area for a number is actually Faschange Gold.  The Faschange colors are really neat.  In indirect light they are off-white but in direct light they change to the listed color.  The windows are tinted with a light coat of black.  The silver window trim is vinyl pinstripes.

The lightning is Faschange Blue backed with Faspearl white.  The I used Fasescent Turquoise and Faspearl Blue to highlight the bolts and then backed the whole thing with black to darken it a little.  The silver at the bottom is Faspearl silver.  Before I started painting I brushed on Hobbico liquid mask around the bottom edge.  The white square for a number is Faschange Blue.
