|  Paint Issue
What type of paint is recommended to do the bodies? For the closest color match, I like to buy the paint from a Pep Boys. Is that ok to use on the body?

then it is a lexan body. I would buy lexan paint from the hobby shop, otherwise it may chip ect. Trust me, i used regular krylon paints on my rubi body, and it chipped. now it looks like crap. see for yourself. Just use lexan paint!! http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=82561 http://www.rcpics.net/view_single.php?medid=82558 |
