Anybody try sandblasting the outside of the body to dull it? Maybe some really fine sand and low pressure..?

thats cool. I painted mine black red grey camo on the outside. When it rolls and scratches it looks real. I havent went done to the clear coat yet. Everyone one told me it wouldnt last a day crawling but i have had it like that for almost 6 months and holding up great.

Hey Mnster, Can you tell me where you found the brown/rust you used on the inside. I haven't found a lexan paint that color unless you mixed it?

I also used the Tamiya copper inside and an old can of Pactra bright yellow outside. Major orange peel efect, then I wet sanded till the yellow got real thin. More dents and add on details yet to come. Last edited by Thirsty; 11-08-2007 at 12:09 AM. |

| It's not for lexan paint. If it chips it really no big deal it's a matter of seconds to respray. The area's it shows are minimal. The paint I have been using has not chipped at all though. Tamiya red brown.
