I appreciate it dude. Blue is my favorite color so you know I'm diggin it. 4 hours ago, Speedpro said: looking good! Too bad you had to paint it twice. Second time is always better in most cases and that's what you got here. Clean looking build so far! My obliged man. Yup, the second time around I know what not to do.

Zippi Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 I now have a rolling chassis and I also shot the clear on the body this morning. I didn't like the color of the tires so I shot them with the Tamiya TS-82 Black Rubber. I let the body set for a couple hrs to let the clear level out a little on its own. I now have it in the Dehydrator where it will be for about 6 hrs. It takes a long time for the Tamiya X-22 Clear to totally cure out before wet sanding and polishing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that Tamiya TS-82 Black Rubber really does make the tires look much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 13 Author Share Posted February 13 I got the body wet sanded and polished out this morning. It did not turn out as good as I would have hoped for. It still has some orange peel. I wet sanded with 4000, 6000, 8000, and 12000. I then polished and wax it. I'm always afraid of burning through when wet sanding. Don't ask me how I know. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Well...this morning I'm going to work on the 41 and I'm undecided on the trim. Do I bmf the side body trim and window trim or just the body trim and do the front and rear window trim in a matt black to look like the rubber seal???
