| Rattle can rust colored paint?
Soon as i can get my hands on a clear cherokee body, I'm wanting to do rust on the inside, silver then topcoat on the outside, so scratches will show bare metal, and deeper ones will show rust, but I can't find any brown rattle can lexan paint, Would the tamiya copper, backed with black be close enough? Also, using the lexan silver, would that act as a "primer" to use normal krylon paint on the outside? or would I still need rc paint for the topcoat? |

Seems to me you've been reading some threads on doing it right! I have seen those layers recommended as well as the mention of Lexan paint against the body, other layers of other types. |

Just curious, what brand of paint are you guys using? Ive mainly used pactra in the past, but they don't offer a copper like tamiya. And I've read about and seen pics of the tamiya paint flaking off in chunks. Granted I'll end up scuffing the body with a scotchbrite pad before I paint, maybe that'll help it stick better Just like a 1:1 car

I've sprayed my 50's panel and my camo wroncho with this method, and beat the snot out of them, and I can't get the paint to scratch. The panel was final painted in Krylon chalkboard green, and the wroncho camo colors came from Krylon and Testor's. Last edited by Mike Flea; 09-22-2017 at 08:41 PM. | |
