| We should all get this lucky
I got my first exo wednesday, a used one. I wasn't a fan of the paint job, it was just not my "brand of vodka" as George Clooney said. It was worn through in several spots, but the plastic was still in really good shape. The top off the roll cage is ground all to piss but the body is ok guess it must have spent some time without the roof panel , lol. Anyway I figured, I'd use it as a basher body, and paint it on the outside with spray on bedliner like I did my basher bug body. It has held up well to the trials and tribulations it has experienced. I could have gone the brake fluid route, but I HATE brake fluid. So, into the kitchen, ajax dish soap and a sponge, I started washing the body parts so I could bed line them. To be thorough I washed the inside as well. To my shock, amazement, and frankly, delight. The paint started coming off! Literally 2 minutes with a sponge and a toothbrush gave me this less than 10 minutes later now I just need to pick a color :] like I said, we should all be so lucky :] |

it came with a bug body that hadn't been painted very well either, so I got all excited and brought it in the kitchen next, no luck, LOL, that one had lexan paint on it :P So that one WILL get painted on the outside, not bedliner though, still undecided, but will probably use krylon fusion as a base then paint over that. It will be one of the exo's multiple personalities built as a "scaler" at least as scale as a lexan bug body on an exo can be :] |

I'm going to run a bug body on this exo, so ironically, I don't even need the exo body panels. I'm thinking of putting them in the classifieds but don't know what to ask for them, anyone have a suggestion for a fair asking price?
