Painting chassis?

Quote

Post by DougH » Mon Apr 18, 2011 11:48 pm

Next quick project is to restore my RC10T. Its going to be for display only so I was wondering if it would be OK to just spray paint the chassis black to hide the wear marks? (its black already) Or would this really ruin it? Bottom is pretty beat up as it took a lot of use but the rest of the truck is in pretty good shape.

Paint away, you can always strip it later.

I am, by no means a professional painter but have painted lexan bodies in many scales over the years... many years. I've done 1/24 and HO scale slot car bodies, starting in the late 60's.

This is going to be as much as a step by step of my way of...

Do you cut out the body first? Also can you thin out faskolor with water?

Last post

I always pre trim every lexan shell I want to paint. That way you can check and re-check it fits to your chassis properly.

I know you paint from Dark to light paint but when your painting gold and green which one comes first?

The reason I am asking if you painted the body below what would get painted first?

I have not seen that body before, very cool. Make sure you posts pics and any tips you pick up while painting it :)

You can see that body on this site along with other cool paint jobs.

I am going to be airbrushing the body for my restore of a RC10 B stamp Kit 6011. I have an airbrush and know how to use it but need to know what brand of paint is good for the lexan bodies? Kind of would like to get a list together of what I will...

OK, I know, they don't have the tenacious grip and hard finish on the lexan that Tamiya PS paints and other polycarbonate paints offer.

I think they bond quite well to Lexan when you back the final paint job with FasKoat, Krylon or Rustoleum Clear...

Touring car bodies usually get smashed, thats why most people practice with 1 color bodies and use the fancy painted bodies for qualifying and the mains

I do both practice and races with mono-colored bodies :mrgreen:
