I've never tried that before, but you've got me thinking... I might give this a whirl on my next paint job.

@@poorboysrc giver a shot y'all be satisfied.

Haha glad you enjoyed the video, pal! Hope there's some good tips there for ya. Just make sure that body is clean, clean ,clean before you start! YOU GOT THIS!!! 🤣🍻

My furry tuxedo bandits. 😆

Oh good stuff! Washing makes a WORLD of difference! Glad the video was helpful! 👊🏼

Hahaha I thought the same thing at first... That pink looks delicious! 🍨

@@poorboysrc You said it! Pink is always delicious.😛

@@roloreoandy9867 hahaha, you betcha buddy! 😉🍻

I'm seeing more and more people use that same paint on their 1:1 cars. I'm curious how it'll hold up on lexan. Keep me posted! Maybe I'll do a video on it if it holds up well. 👊🏼

@@poorboysrc Will do, and thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! 👊🏼

I always wondered if that would work... I have used TS on top of PS before, and it adhered. I never thought of using PS clear, then spraying TS to it. Cool tip! 😎

Thanks man! I'm really happybwith how it turned out! Thanks for commenting. 👊🏼

Thanks pal! I think the decals are really going to bring it to life! 👍🏻

Right on, glad you enjoy the hobby studio! Welcome back to the wonderful world of RC! Have you found my "how to fix paint mistakes" video? It might be beneficial at this time, and help with saving your drift car body.

@@poorboysrc yeah it is good to be back in the hobby I have already painted the body but I might buy another one and store it away for a rainy day

@@fredbradick8404 hope you're enjoying it, pal. Things have changed a lot in the last 10-15 years, so there's plenty to keep your interest piqued! 😉

Thanks pal! Yeah there's no better feeling than being done with a build, then just popping a nice, freshly painted body on, and seeing the entire kit done. 👌

Danke! Decals are going on this weekend, and so is the rest of the build! 🍻

I may have planned that... Haha. I actually dedicated a video to fixing paint mistakes, too. You may find it helpful: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nN6get1-s7u2g40.html 👊🏼

Thanks dude! 🍻

Thanks pal! I'm stoked, and starting the chassis build today. 👍🏻

Right on dude, glad it was helpful! 🍻

Deeecals! Hahaha! Yeah I find I make a lot fewer mistakes when I paint first. 🍻

I started doing it this way because, like you, I would procrastinate, then the weather would be crappy, then I'd rush the paint and screw it up. Now, I start the paint first, take my time, and I'm always a lot happier with the end result. 👊

Thanks Wayne! 🍻

I'm right there with ya. I've had horrible luck with some of the others, Tamiya PS all the way! 👌👍🏻

You can do that, I don't do it all the time, but on a body I know is going to get worked hard, I will. Just don't use too abrasive a pad. Gray scotch Brite is perfect. 👊🏼

Right on, thanks for coming on board! 👊🏼

Hope it was helpful!

Not a stupid question at all. We paint the inside of lexan bodies so it helps protect the paint when you roll over. You can roll as much as you want and never damage your paint job. 👊

Yep, it's lexan. 👊🏼

New Subscriber, right on! Thanks for coming on board, Simon. For the Von Squash, I used all the same tips and tricks that you see in this video. The key for a really crisp line between the two colors is to use the blue fine-line tape, and make sure it's seated really well before you start spraying. A hair dryer works perfectly to help the adhesion. When you're happy with that, the less expensive, wider tape can be used to mask of a large area, like the white part of the SV. Here's a quick link to some fine line. It's not 3M brand (which is what I use), but it's got good reviews, so it might be worth a shot. jinbing High-Temp Vinyl Fine Line Fineline Masking Tape Automotive Paint for Curves Blue (1/16 in +1/8 in Each 3Rolls) a.co/d/cRANfre

Thanks so much for the detailed response! Really appreciate it, and thanks for the enjoyable content! The Squash Van is going to be my first build since I was in high school back in the late 80s early 90s! Amazing that this hobby is still going strong, love it! @@poorboysrc

Always the darker color first. 👊🏼

That's a good idea for the wing. 🍻

I think they'd work just fine, but for added security, I'd prime the body first, that way you know the Rustoleum will stick to the primer. 👍🏻

I usually wait about 20 minutes. I have used a hair dryer before, many times. I prefer the sun, but during the rainy winter months, I'll bust out the hair dryer. 👊🏼

Thanks, brother!

@@poorboysrc you are welcome

Hey dude, good luck out there! Feel free to email me at poorboysrc78@gmail.com if you need any pointers. Unfortunately, I don't have video dedicated to cutting out bodies. 😭

@@poorboysrc thanks. When I get time I'll give it a go, it'll never be a shelf queen but it'll look ok once it has a battel scars on it.

Thanks Rob! Hope you're doing well, my friend! 👊

@@poorboysrc Doing great, big 60 BD tomorrow. Hope all is well with you and the family bro!

@@robbrennanrc no way! Happy birthday, you CW01 speed demon! 🎂

Absolutely a good point! I think I actually edited that part out by accident! Lol! The blue tape I discussed in the video is the same 3M blue autobody tape you're referring to. That stuff works great on RC bodies! 👍🏻

@@poorboysrc That is funny you edited that part by accident. LOL Yes, the blue tape does work good. I use it all of the time along with the Tamiya tape. Keep your great videos coming! Thanks

If the body comes with the little indents, indicating where to drill the holes, I'll do it after paint. If those little indents aren't there, I'll drill my holes first. 👊🏼

Best advice I could give you is to use quality masking tape, and a sharp hobby knife so you get nice cut lines. From there, it's a lot of practice, practice, practice. 👍🏻

@@poorboysrc I used blue painters tape and yup a sharp hobby knife but for some reason I had so many places where the paint bled through

Haha, too funny! Well we've got the same name, so that's a good start. 👍🏻

Not daft at all, it's a good question. That's called overspray film. It's kind of a shrink-wrapped thin plastic thats applied to the body at the manufacturing facility. It's purpose is to keep overspray off the outside of the body during paint. If your body is missing it, you can always just mask it off the old fashioned way. 👊🏼😉

Thank you, I’ve not had a model like this before only just realised you spray the underneath of the shell not the top like on the lunchbox etc .

@@darrengaynor4966 Oh, yeah definitely spray the inside of the body with clear (polycarbonate/lexan) bodies, and the outside with hard plastic shells. It's also very important that you use the proper paint. Tamiya PS paint for Polycarbonate/lexan and TS paint for hard ABS plastic.

@@poorboysrc any tips on cutting out the body? Thanks for all your help

@@darrengaynor4966 just take your time, familiarize yourself with the lines you want to cut and those you don't, before you start cutting. A good pair of curved scissors can be a life saver. Some guys use xacto knives to cut, I don't use one often, but for long, straight lines (like under doors, side of the body) I do, and it works great. Just score an edge, then crack along the edge, don't cut right through. 👊🏼

Well that sure seems a little condescending, now doesn't it? Surely an astute man such as yourself can understand the idiosyncrasies of speech on a global platform? 🤔

Most kits come with window masks. If yours didn't, you can always try MCI. If they don't have them, you can just mask them yourself.

@@poorboysrc Thank you!

@@playerpianogal any time. :)

About to lay down some paint work???

@@JIPPERR_1 no way! The 90's version? Or the more recent release?

@@poorboysrc the more recent one, got the pro kit version and am loving it already 🤙🤙

I disagree. The only times you look into your monitor is when you are checking to see if your video is capturing the detail you are explaining. This I appreciate.
