Speedfreak Posted September 8, 2014 Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) Hope you get to feeling better Tommy. Check with the manufacturer of the resin body to see what they recommend for paint removal, it may depend on the type of paint you used. Edited September 8, 2014 by Speedfreak
10thumbs Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 What happened with the paint job? We would like to hear about failures too. We all have them, good thing is when they can be repaired. Michael
om617 Posted September 11, 2014 Author Posted September 11, 2014 Hard to explain with my english experience. I got a brand new can from the seller,as i explained to him and from hes experience,the only conclusion we could find would be the paint to actually be bad,or broken if you will. When the paint hit the surface it was like some strange reaction of it parting,like if the surface was greasy or wet,but it was bone dry,primed with Tamiya. Will throw it in brake fluid tomorrow.
Speedfreak Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Hang in there Tommy, I know it can be frustrating.
moparfarmer Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 my first Lindberg Color Me Gone kit windshield was cracked right up the middle when i opened the box. very aggravating as the hobby shop i bought it from had a zero return policy. not sure if Lindberg would have sent a new one so i left the car unfinished for a LOOONG time, eventually cannibalising it for parts. grrr. Had the same with the two I bought...Called Lindberg at that time and they shipped out two replacements within 2 weeks..Can't do it now though as they are owned by someone else...
66belair Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Very nice project,Mopars from the fifties and sixties were wild looking to say the least. Great work.
mnwildpunk Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Love these pug ugly mopars hope you have an update soon
Tuffy's Garage Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Got a few in the works pulled this one out to finish and found your build progress mine is a 64
om617 Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 It`s back from the dead. Used around 4-5 hours the other day to clean it with acrylic thinner,very "nice" smell. Primed and gave it some coats of the racing white yesterday,and i changed interior color from blue to red. Tomorrow i`ll get the exhaust and hood painted. Then it`s over to try foil it and do some interior improvement. Still have to run the heater hoses and get the battery and wires in,but this usually is done at the end. Thanks for the encouraging words along the way,i was tempted to give up a while there lol
Randytheroadrunner Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Mine was split in two so I called RC2 and they sent me a replacement.
