|  paint detaching from lexan after bashing, repaint?
So I was out bashing today with my HPI and after a few hard rolls the paint is coming apart from the lexan, it's kind of cool and is giving me an idea, I think once more paint flakes off I will re mask the windows and hit it with silver to give a cool new look. I will post more pics once I am done. The last pic you can really see the paint detaching from the lexan... Has anyone repainted the inside of a chipped lexan body with another color?      |

Turned out pretty cool, I just used some duct tape to remove all the partial chipped black paint and taped off the windows and sprayed it with silver...     |

when you got the body did you wash it out really good because if there are oils from your hands on there the paint wont stick. also i am pretty sure that they put a release agent on it so it comes off of the mold. i always scrub mine down really good and then let it drive for a while. Brent |
