If I were a GM guy, I would buy one of the Kyosho kits just on principle. They are all gorgeous. Muscle car porn. Great selection, too. Some are the staples- 69 Camaro, 57 Bel Air, but you can also pick a Fleetside, a Riviera (!), an El Camino... Throw in Kyosho quality, competitive price, and the p...

I think everything sprayed on the underside of a lexan body will end up a gloss finish because of the shiny polycarbonate body. I don't think the paint can do anything about that, if painted on the underside.

Gotcha, you're talking metallic vs non-metallic. It would be interesting to know how backing a non-metallic color with a metallic silver turns out.

I used the same paint for the bumper on this one.

Nice General Lee! What make and year is your Charger body? Is that the MCIracing, General Lee decal set? Did you spray over the X-11 with Tamiya PS orange? Did you back it with any other color? Thanks as always @juicedcoupe! It is a 1/12 Bolink 69 Charger "Little Rebel" body, on a Digger ...

Have you looked at Alclad Chrome For Lexan?

Barbatos Rex has done a video on it.

The wheels on my TOMSE are painted in Alclad chrome but they are done with Alclad's lacquer.

SpazStix Mirror Chrome is supposed to be the best Lexan paint for realistic chrome finishes. Can you still buy it? I have a few cans of it awaiting future projects.

Gotcha, you're talking metallic vs non-metallic. It would be interesting to know how backing a non-metallic color with a metallic silver turns out. Non-metallics will likely let almost no metallic backing coat show through. They're more solid colors. Metallics have particles that have to orient a c...

I think I’m going to call this one done for now. Decided not to solder or cut any electrics. Just placed them and tied up the wiring. Went with a new Futaba S9101 steering servo. Dyed a new set of AE servo mounts black for that. Went with the new Novak 410-HPc Hyperfet ESC a new Novak NER3FM RX Trin...

If your Vette body is 200mm like a nitro touring car would be and all the other chassis that are electric are 190mm then consider that awesome factor that the kyosho can be easily made 200mm and it’s got sweet rally’s already…. For me that all together would make my mind up 100%

Well, I think you've made an excellent choice. Just yesterday, I had the TT-01 based Porsche 993 and Fazer El Camino out on a local parking lot. Despite the TT-01's modifications to improve handling vs. the Fazer's box-stock configuration, the difference was like night and day. The TT wanders while ...

I think you picked up a solid car. I picked up a used Fazer '69 Z28 Camaro quite awhile back, but haven't done anything with it. The usual "one day..............."

Sweet score!

I wonder how that Fleetside body would look on one of your monster trucks....

When I read the title I thought we'd been hit by some weird spam bot but this is actually a really good find , thanks for sharing , great idea !
