After 14 years I'm still beyond grateful for and amazed by what I've learned from content creators. "Simple" things like this are not simple until people like yourself help us make it simple. The time I spent watching this probably saved an hour, and possibly kept me from making a mess of my new body. Cheers

I remember my first polycarbonate body shell, I didn’t realise there was a protective film on the outside so I applied the decals then noticed what I’d done, I peeled off the film and all the decals came off with it!!! 🤣🤣🤣

A few things about protection: paint can be bad for skin, so wear gloves when painting. Also, paint above surfaces you don't want to ruin or protect them. And I hate to see poked bodies, so I prefer to use magnets instead. Great video!

These guys don’t know what they’re talking about. You paint the outside for most paint jobs but people will “back” their chosen color with a different coat on the inside. It makes the coat on the outside “pop” and adds a lot of depth to the color. It has nothing to do with protecting the paint job!

Here's a trick that has worked for me for years. Rather than purchase a bunch of expensive dinky spray cans of Tamiya or Pactra polycarbonate paint that doesn't coat properly. Simply purchase one can of clear coat and give the inside of the body a coating of that. That will create a perfectly good base for other paints to adhere too. I myself recommend either Krylon 2X or Krylon Fussion paints... I have never had a problem with the Krylon paint chipping or peeling using this method.. Once again you need to coat it with polycarbonate clear coat first as a base

@@ado3769 If your talking about using actual automotive paint like on a real car? I couldn't say for sure but I wouldn't use it. That stuff is pretty thick for RC bodies. But the real person who would know about it's flexibility should be the guy painting your daily driver. And if he does fine detail air brush work for designs or pinstriping, That paint is usually thinner and might be ok if done in light coats.. But once again he would know more about the properties of that paint than I would... All that said, I have a thing that works for me, But I'll never claim to be an expert
@Spindrift-id1ez
@Spindrift-id1ez 4 жыл бұрын
@sleepy jaguar All I can say is I've never had a problem with it, But then I only apply it in no more than two thin coats.. And that's only after applying the clear polycarbonate as a base for the Krylon to adhere to.. And I drive a 2wd Slash basher if ya get the idea, And not once in several years of doing this have I had any chipping like one might get if they used for example regular model paint which is definitely way to thick

I do the same. You can get 3 light coats done in about 15 minutes. When drying with a hair dryer you can actually see the paint shine go flat letting you know it's dry. Allow 2-3 minutes for the body to cool before applying the next coat.

Clear body. A bucket Oil based spray cans(chosen colour) White or grey primer spray(plastic) Fill the bucket with water Use your oil coloured spray paint spray the surface of your your water Make sure to wear gloves If so tape the windows or parts you dont want to get affected. Put the body in the water at a 45° angle. There you go hydro dipped your shell easy peasy.
