It never fails that somewhere some bit of masking lift and allows leaking on almost everyone so learning to fix the oops spots is much better than hating a finished product because of drips, leaks and streaks that are going to show up even with good prep! And yes, stickers are a savior of many paint job oops!!!

You sound like Bob Ross in this one to me for some reason. Such a great teacher.

Excellent video👍I did think "hasn't he seen his blue edging?"😯 but it's all under control😅

[yellomello]

Very cool video. I've thought about doing it with sandpaper a few times, but didn't dare. Thanks for that man 👍

Decals were my solution before I saw this video, tks for the tips! Painting the body is something I dread b/c it doesn't turn out right, I'm gonna try this tks Fil!

I've used rc nitro fuel to remove overspray before, but sanding is a great idea as well. Great video Fil!

Thanks for the great tips! I’m just about to start my 1st ever paint job 😬

My theory on lLexan shells is the paint itself will lift the masking in places so corrections are.always needed. I use the Tamiya stuff and also the Carson alternative which is cheaper. Important to make sure you clean the solution off the body once you have removed the paint. I use an alcohol wipe. 👍🏼

Can you use enamel thinner? Also i had two large bottles of that Lexan RC body carbonate cleaner but they were in plastic bottles and they literally had ate through their bottles into the outer clear bags and both bottles dissipated.
Stuffs no joke!

Hay you got any advise on painting a RC hard body. I sprayed a car body that came out well. Left it for 12 hours to cure. I then use a clean microfibre cloth to clean any contaminants off and then sprayed the body again and I get cracking. Really anouying as I am trying to get a good body shape finish

[makestuffbetter]

Great tips! You got a new sub from me!

[chrisl]

What if you have to spray still on the part you made corrections? Is it ok to just spray over that part that got treated with the poly paint cleaner?

I’m trying to strip a body but don’t have access to old nitro fuel. I know that brake fluid turns plastic brittle as does acetone. I’ve been told non acetone nail polish remover works but I’m not sure. Any suggestions?

[NLRevZ]

Do you know of any sort of adhesive, spray or otherwise, that would perform well in putting decal stickers on the inside of the body? I'm sick and tired of stickers coming off of my basher bodies!

Hi, I've got a question. So my lexan has got scratches from crawling & trailing. Can I just repaint from the inside like on a clear body or do I need to remove the paint & respray all over again?

Could you do a video on building a predator monster truck

Hello, my son tried painting his first RC body and ended up with a few dark blobs of darker paint on his dream RC body. How can I fix this issue? Could I use rubbing alcohol to erase this mistake and once dried repaint?

[nitrousoxide]

I use nail polish to remove a small paint part, now my lexan is opaque, what can I do? THanks

[bcochener]

‘Can’t see the line can you Russ?’ Haha.
