PS-55 / Ext. bodty paint durability Hey ya'll Just ordered up a few Tamiya PS colors for my new Vanquish Phoenix and Pro, and I'm contemplating following suit of a few other members and painting the fender flares/roof in black from the exterior and sealing those areas up with PS-55 flat clear. For those who have done similar paint schemes, how has your flat clear sealed exterior painted areas held up? I have to assume those areas will be prone to scratches, but hoping the flat clear will toughen it up a tad. I'll ensure the underside of those areas are also black, so it'll hide scratches a bit better. If I get really fancy, I'm going to try and trim the exterior film around the windows so I can paint the trim/seals black as I'm terrible at stickers "thumbsup" |

I’ve done many bodies using this technique. It holds up great and if it does get scratched, it’s easy to touch up. And yes, use the film on outside as a mask. Gently and lightly using a new blade, cut the film. Once film is peeled, lightly press down on remaining film. You should get a bleed free edge every time. Here is a pic of my PRO and Phoenix. All the black is painted on the outside with the PS-55 Flat Clear to seal and protect. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...12bcbe3a3e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9cb8225c51.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...23e45567a0.jpg Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
