@bmxbarn15 , one good way to do it is to score with an hobby knife, and flex and pull the? trimed excess, you must make sure you score well tho, but listen to the master jang, he seems to know what hes doing!
How did you cut? out the body (and especially the wheel wells) so well
I’m about to order a clearn body for my jato. Customize it a bit. My jato needs more than paint though lol. I wrecked it so now I’ve gotta? order extra arms and all that cool stuff. Gotta get another motor aslo and that electric starter for the ez system. All that is tore up
Awesome vid plenty of info hopefully my blue and white? tribal supra will come out right lol
tahnks for? your teach .
Nice! Very helpful thanks!!?
can i remove? the paint with white spirit?
so I don’t need? clear coat after painting it?
@UltimateRCnetwork? lol
@bigflame909 Wanna tell us what I was doing then?? Er, I mean, who that was? lol
This is the first video I’ve watched from you and as a result I subscribed. Thank you for the insight, demonstration, and extra details throughout this informative and enjoyable tutorial. It’s been close to 20 years since I raced an? RC car, and now that I’ve taken up my interest once again, it’s great to see the community still striving with helpful enthusiasts like yourself.
Thank you for the helpful video Jang! Keep up the good work!
Now i know how to paint my? own Lexan body the RIGHT way next time haha
can use a type of? Tamiya that says for plastics for a lexan body
Looks like a? Jamaican bobsled.
Hi , i? have a question , if i want my bonnet another color , how do i do it ?
Whats
The Sticker On The Front Window?
can you use a blow dryer instead of a heat? gun
@slash4x4lipo That is an enamel paint that is intended only to be used as a backing color (behind fluorescent paints), as indicated on the label. It is not designed to stick to Lexan. I personally don’t even like it as a backing paint because our normal lacquers don’t adhere? to it well if you do other painting afterwards.
can you try the pactra? backing color on the lexan? i go to my hobby shop and they sell me that…. the paint is just crack… it is just not stay on the lexan… can you try or say me why…???
if you? wash the body then put on the window masks aren’t you going to get oil from your fingers on the clean body again?
how can i get those nice stickers???
@UltimateRCnetwork
am going to be painting my body white, so should i? back that silver afterwards?
@UltimateRCnetwork I’m buying a car where the windows and decals and stuff are stickers, so I don’t? have to do the masking, do I? (I just need to color the body white, the rest are stickers)
if? you sand the lexan lightly, would paints like Krylon work?
