Well tower is out of faskolor . Parma online store shows in stock but shipping is insane . Drove 60 miles to a few hobby shops in the Detroit area and they are all out of white and yellow and other colors as well. Stopped at Blick art supply in...

Createx, Parma Faskolor, Wicked, and Auto Air are all virtually identical in how they spray. All made by the same company.
Went on Ebay to check for some bodies and Team Blue groove seems to have disappeared. Their Ebay store says that they are away and to check back later.

Ahhh....I saw they were away but I didn't see that message. That's what I get for looking on my phone. :lol:
So long story short, I had some over spray on a lexan body and I used some goo gone to take it off, which it did. The problem is it sort of etched the lexan a bit. Has anyone ever successfully polished a lexan body to bring back the glossy...

Thanks, all good ideas. I received this body unpainted used so it already had some light scratches on it. I may try the clay bar idea to see how it works. I'm not going to go crazy about it though.
i found some of my old pict i took when i was painting bodys for JT hobbys out of Napanee .. it started off as Too Cool Paint but later came to be Art by Air thanks to my girly

So, Tamiya used to offer a nice gray lexan paint, yet there's a mystery about it. The top cap, where the part number would be, was just PS . There was no number after the PS like on ALL of their other paints. Depending on where you look, you may or...

So the body that first had clear sparkle put on, and then the gray Humbrol, is holding up fine. It seems the Humbrol holds well to other paints, it just needs something else to hold better to the lexan. So for anyone wanting to use gray (my favorite...
I thought I'd start with something easy for my first attempt with an air brush. The Dyna Storm was perfect for the job!
I used liquid mask and Faskolor water based paint. The air brush was used for the liquid mask. It took about four good coats to...

I just used an inexpensive $30 dollar Central Pneumatic airbrush. I didn't want to invest in an expensive brush and compressor until I figured out what I was doing. It's perfect for basic solid-color paint schemes.
That is my suggestion too. I got...
How are you doing the REEDY modifieds decal on the scoop of the turbo mirage body? For a shelfer I am thinking you can get away with a little lift of the decal around the rear of scoop,but for a runner the decal would only last one day before it was...

This has been on the body for over a year, raced, and still looks pretty good. Up close you can see where it has wrinkled slightly from stress over time (I'm fussy)
I cut the RE and the Y off, placed the ED and Modifieds on straight with a few...
Hey guys, what are your suggestions for reshaping lexan bodies? Because of the mid motor position in my RC10.44 build, the motor hits the side of the body. I was thinking of covering the motor with 1/8 foam, putting the body on, then using a heat...
Last post
Lexan is usually stretched by first molding then it cools & hardens... then if you reheat it without any support, it shrinks - it wants to go back to a flat sheet!
Don't bother with heatgun, too much spot heat & overspray - it always ends in tears....
I'm painting a full body Lumina (#4 Kodak) and going with a Faskolor Fasyellow with a few drops of Fasorange in it, but now when done it's too bright yellow.
Can i back it up with Fasorange or Fasred to try get it warmer in color?
Last post
as long as the yellow is a flat coat with no heavy spots back it with a red will push it more orange .. black will make it a duller yellow .. dont do white as it will be a brite yellow
So when i ordered the many parts and pieces for my rebuild, i must have accidentally ordered a driver dude instead of a wing...please dont hate... but ill use the guy for a differenct rc10 i have. How do i mount the guy, and how do i go about...

As far as I know, just tape or double sided tape. I don't think there were ever any actual fasteners.
Must say though, I bought the driver too, but it kinda sucks because it doesn't look like the box art dude with the separate helmet. I have some...

Yes, the checkered is not quite right, but overall it looks amazing. Funny enough, you will likely be the only person that notices/is bothered by it. Funny how that works out.
Hey everyone, I have my original RC10T that is literally like new. The body is missing and it drives my crazy not having one. I have found the slammed body that TBG has on eBay but I'd really like to have the original style so I can do a box art set...

Thanks for the above ebay link. Do you know if it is possible to find any new OEM RC10T bodies, and how to tell if they are the standard or the slimmer TEAM versions?
What kind of flat black paint do people use for the *outside* of the body, to paint in the roll cage areas? Is there a flat black paint meant to go on the outside? Or are they just using normal paint, or even the Krylon fusion plastic paint?
Last post
I do the same thing as Terry, but use Pactra Outlaw Black on both inside & outside. The outside paint dries to a semi-matte finish. The inside paint is just for when the outside paint gets scratched or dinged, it doesn't show as much. Using Pactra...

hey guys, in the middle of a resto, a chassis I have has a few scratches on the bottom, and its a bit...dull. any way I can gloss it up (with a hard-wear finish)

TBG won't repro Dahm's bodies because Vans Invent have threatened to sue anyone who does.
