That’s one bad A$$ FT T3 ! Can’t wait to see it completed.

Hello everyone,
Seeing if anyone has tried to use this product line to refinish a well used tub.
https://www.duplicolor.com/product/metalcast-anodized-automotive-paint/
I’d did use it with great success years ago to refinish a bmx bike powerdisc.

Fantastic build, love the photos.
Do you know what body and paint scheme your doing for it ?
What tires do you plan on using ?

Unbelievable ! One that you have a NIB GT, and two that your actually building it ! Plus some brand new upgrades !
Oh man keep the pics coming please !

With what I do for a living I’m always in bodyshops and I can honestly say the finish you achieved is phenomenal !

Now that’s what I’m talking about ! You put together one awesome truck there, you didn’t like how it was so you made it into what it is now. Nicely done I may add. That truck should be posted up in its own thread. Many would like and benefit from what you came up with.

Yep it’s official.... your insane !
And I love it lol. Keep em coming !

Does Spaz Stix still make mirror chrome ??
I remember using it like about 15 years ago with amazing results. Both aerosol and bottles for airbrushing from what I remember. I believe it had a black backer as well.

Wow that legitimately looks like brand new blue anodized aluminum parts !

Thank you very much, your now blue tub white parts GT is phenomenal ! I’m very pleased with this truck now.

Oh man all the white parts look amazing against the blue, and the foams with white wheels really set the truck off. VERY nicely done.

I believe the different your seeing in photo is because the tub chassis itself is powder coated and the nose plates are anodized. The Nose plate and tube are both anodized. Its what Romulus22 says, Associated's anodizing was never consistent. If i had 50 blue anodized tub chassis they would be know...

Actually I believe I snagged that from one of the back issue scans of RCCA on gomachv site. Oh and thank you very much gomachv for saving them on your site for everyone ! I am always thumbing through them.
