Why Most RC Paint Jobs Fail (It’s Not the Paint)

Описание: Why do so many RC paint jobs fail — even when the paint and tools are good?

This video isn’t a tutorial.
It’s a breakdown of why most RC paint jobs go wrong long before the first coat is sprayed.

This is the third Lexan body I’ve ever painted.
The first one failed.
The second one was better.
This one finally came together — not because of talent or equipment, but because the process was honed, locked in and controlled from the start.

After fully rebuilding this UDR mechanically, the original body no longer matched the work underneath. That disconnect is what pushed me to go further — and in doing so, I realised something important:

Successful paint jobs aren’t about skill.
They’re about discipline, preparation, and knowing when to stop.

In this video, I walk through the thinking behind the process:

Why most RC paint jobs fail before paint is even applied

Why preparation matters more than paint brand

How removing variables leads to consistent results

Why patience is often the hardest (and most important) step

And how this approach applies beyond painting

This isn’t a step-by-step tutorial.
It’s a look into the method and mindset behind work that holds up over time.

About the process:

I’m currently documenting this paint method as a standalone PDF — in the same spirit as the UDR workshop manual — once it’s proven, repeatable, and worth keeping on the bench.

When it’s ready, it will be available through the RC Workbench site.
Mailing list subscribers will be notified first.

No hype.
No shortcuts.
Just the process.
