|  Ripped HPI Bug
I was getting ready for another disaster like my first lexan but it didnt happen so I thought I'd post up since it tuned out better than I thought . I used Parma liquid mask for the first time and had a bit of a hard time keeping the thinner parts of the rips to stay stuck to the lexan...I may try a different maker of liquid mask next time.Used standard Tamiya Copper and Champagne Gold spray paints backed with black.My pictures still arent so great but here it is...     |

Not bad at all  , although your camera settings make the finish look a little grainy.

gj on the lid as for your camera shooting grainy pics, try shooting at a lower mega pixel. high mp pics tend to get grainy when u shrink them down. about 1-2mp is perfect for posting pics online |

Looks good, you did a great job. I highly recommend Bob Dively's Liquid Mask Film. That's all I use and it works great. 4 medium coats will do the trick nicely. |

Very nice paint job. I use the parma mask too and it sucks when trimming tight areas. I plan on using the Bob Divelys, like MikeyMike suggested, when this stuff is gone. I've heard good things about it. Tower Hobbies carries Bob Dively. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...SM&C=RJE&V=DIV |

The paint looks dam good you should hack that bug down (loose the fenders) and get it mounted up nicely on that rig of yours. |

Nice looking bug. I got a parma body on order and I am still trying to figure out my paint scheme. I love what colors you used. Looks killer.
