Derka Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 (edited) If you're wanting to use Tamiya spray paint you will want the 'TS' range. Alternatively, most automotive primers and colours and those sold in Hobbycraft are suitable. The only thing that can cause issues is the final stage of protection and shine from the lacquer can sometimes react to the colour coat and make it go cloudy or bubble. Generally you should be ok though. Edited March 22, 2020 by Derka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lone-wolf Posted March 22, 2020 Author Share Posted March 22, 2020 i would much prefer a clear body, and here is a thing, i went for the "313mm" W/B as a lot of choice of shells, and now i am really struggling to get one i like and fits, i did the Jconcepts F150 but i dont like the colour and i kinda mucked up on the body magnets, cant take them of to redo it as the epoxy will just take big chunks of paint with it, i used the body magnet kit but in real use the 15mm magnets are just not up to the job, i guess im trying to make perfect job rather than a 95% job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
