So Cowboy & XMods.... (As you two seem to be a good starting source)
& of course, ANYONE else with experience please speak up...
I am thinking of trying my hand at painting again & doing up a new white body I just got.
I've done it before with Mastercraft Aerosol Auto Paints & that worked out pretty well, the paint was rather expensive though...
(The front quarter of the darned body snapped off like 20 mins into racing it & I never really used it after that)
What tips & tricks would you give us all?
What prep should be taken?
Soap & water, lightly scuff, Primer?
Information on types of paint to use
Tips & tricks for a good coat (Wet sanding in between coats & at the end?)
Masking tips for multiple colors (Green painters tape, Fastmask?)
What to use for a clear coat (Clear coat paint, floor polish, epoxy/resin?)
Suggestions for trying not to mix types of paints together & why...
I have a new white body that I'm itching to use some of my off time to get ready for when I'm able to come back out & play!
What about pre-painted auto scale bodies that we may want to paint over?
Should they be stripped somehow or just scuffed up, primered?
Inquiring minds want to know!
