Just paint it black. I hate colorful frames on 1:1's, so since this is a scale rig, keep it scale. |

However, every time I see a 1:1 rig with a painted frame, I cant help thinking that it looks hacked. It's different for a show-only rig that never gets dirty or scratched, but if you're gonna use it, almost anything other than blacks & dark grays end up looking like dog ****. | |

If you ask me a flat black cage makes it look like you where to lazy to finish the job. A black frame is the norm on most stock 1:1 rigs. But most cages or tube chassis are painted. If you built a 1:1 like this Bronco wouldn't you paint it? If your building a hillbilly beater by all means use flat black primer. If your building a truck to be proud of paint the frigin thing. Black is fine but flat black looks unfinished and A$$. just my $.02 |

The frame was beatifull, my kudos to BrandO for building a rig that cool, I'll sure keep those pics for future reference. Now it's a pity to see that the rest of the rig ain't at the same quality level...:? |

Geez guys, being a little harsh aren't you. Everyone has to start somewhere. James is learning a lot as he goes. And I am sure he is doing his best.

Yeah, you have to remove the zinc coating or it will never stick! Also don't breath the smoke when welding or brazing zinc platted parts IT IS TOXIC!!!
