Oh How Original Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I keep forgetting we're in Feb now, they said it was due early Jan, then it changed to late Feb, so I stopped keeping an eye on it. Although I'm meant to be cutting back on spending... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC4WD fan Posted February 11, 2016 Author Share Posted February 11, 2016 I said that to didn't work out though I've picked the colour I want to do I want to do it in the LAND ROVER G4 colour scheme I know the name of the colour and paint code Tangiers orange LRC761 what do people use that's the closest to it as I don't want to pay £20+ for some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 You'll just have to accept the fact that quality paint and enough of it will cost you a few quid. More layers and thinner coats is much better for ABS shells, they're not quite like painting a lexan shell. I use Halfords paints as I know a lot of others do and they're very good quality paints, stick very well and don't cost much compared to some lesser quality paints.

Gaz! Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 No, didn't clear coat it, personally like the natural weathered look when used. There is more than enough shine just from the paint. as oho has said, heard many good things about halfords paint and in fact painted a d90 for a lad on here with it and had great results. all down to preference really, I try to use Tamiya paint as much as possible as I use the little brush on pots for detailing too so I know the there not going to react, this can happen with certain brands of paint swapping......
