Re: Shodog's Toykid Beach Buggy project
Today I was just thinking about this project and what I needed to do. It's just that life got in the way. My 1:1 Bronco has been giving me fits, Girlfriend has been on one for the lAst couple of months. one roommate moved out and two moved in. So as you can see there is no shortage of distractions.

Re: Shodog's Toykid Beach Buggy project
Well you could since we live on opposite coasts they wont see each other so its cool, and I don't think they were going to be the same shade. mine is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl auto paint I had sitting in my body shop. I ended up using about 5 coats of 2K autobody primer 2 coats sealer paint and 5 coats of clear. this body was harder to paint than the 68 Mustang I just did

Re: Shodog's Toykid Beach Buggy project
My thoughts exactly. With the price shapeways charges to print these, you should be able to get a better surface finish than what came. It takes a ton of primer to fill in the surface to make it paintable.bearrickster wrote: this body was harder to paint than the 68 Mustang I just did

Re: Shodog's Toykid Beach Buggy project
I used a whole can of Rust-Oleum sandable primer gave up on that and then used 5 coats of 2K automotive filler primer and pounded it until it was running off the bottom. then sanded that smooth. sealed it sanded that smooth again and painted it. fells like it weighs 5 lbs. mine was the texture of 100 year old barn wood. sucks what ever they make it out of you cant sand it smooth first. I would like to see some one make a mold and injection mold these, like the Tamiya bodies.
