Thanks scr8p,
Nice repair job!
The chassis I have isn't bad but it has a mixture of some hard resin mixed with dirt around the front and rear transmission.
What do you use to shoot the clear? or is out of a can?
By the way, how much would you charge to repair a chassis?
Thanks again.

well, i work at a body shop, so everything i use requires a spray gun. but, i'm sure you could use a satin or semi-gloss clear from an aerosol can.
if you'd like me to take a look at the chassis you need fixed, send me a pm with some pics.

I'd have to say that's a pretty nice recovery, although I bet you could've done just as well with a Sharpie.
Kidding, of course.
Get some of that spongey shelf padding with the square holes to use as a stencil and shoot some gunmetal grey to match the weave maybe?
Oh, and "siebenelch" it!

that's what this one is for, but with a narrow kick-up.
other than extra holes in this, this chassis is very nice. i couldn't bring myself to alter the worlds graphite chassis, so i did it to this one.

Of course you know my thoughts already, but AWESOME work! Considering where that worlds graphite came from and how badly the graphite on the kickup was separated.
