was waiting on scale4x4 for progress. glad to finally see it. now you can gain ur dignity back. cuz thats what all the sh**heads were griping about was that you never built the tuber you said you were going to. nice job. |

it's duplicolor auto spray paint (it's a nissan 350Z color...I wanted something different)...the body is painted on the outside cause I didn't want it soo shiny (crawlers should not be shiny) thanks for the replies.

you can use regular paint on the outside of a lexan body as long as you spray a coat of lexan paint on as a base..regular paint will stick to other paint but not lexan.

That is looking pretty damned tight. I have a tuber in my future, I just need to find the time to build it...
