Schumacher CAT and odies
I got some bodies cheap there where 3 bodies and 1 undertray for like 5 dollars actually the shipment was more then i paid for the bodies.
1 just plain red and the 2 painted with polyca color ( kyosho )
and now the 3´d as you can see between the paint there is some stuff dont know what it is but you can clearly see it between the paint what can i use fore solvent that not harms the body ??? i will try to take away the stuff and leave the paint as is.
It is not as white in natural light the camera flash makes it appear more white then it really is.
look at the pictures and let me know what you think.
Was thinking of painting the background just plain white should look rather nice to the custom paint.
Btw where can i get the upper beltcover ????

Re: Schumacher CAT and odies
How strange? Could it be the remains of the spray mask that was used? Is it sticky - like the residue thats left when decals are removed??

Re: Schumacher CAT and odies
I have a funny feeling it is spray mask...not sure how to remove it but perhaps you can try rubbing alcohol first. Failing which nitro fuel gets rid of alot of stuff but try it on a small spot first e.g fuel on rag then wipe.

Re: Schumacher CAT and odies
Word is that DOT4 brake fluid won't haze the lexan or make it brittle. I've never used it but I've seen that a number of times on different forums.isobarik wrote:Thanks shall try it but not over do it then with the brake fluid........

Nitro fuel will also work well. I imagine either one would be fine, but they'll also remove that red & blue paint.
