    That has to be one if the finest weathering jobs I've ever seen.👍 Like you mentioned some people go too far on the raised bits and using a sharpie round all the panel lines, and the end result looks completely contrived. I'm subscribing. 👍

    Nice video, what would you recommend for denting in a polycarbonate body for a more abused crawler look?

  • @falconaz
    @falconaz 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good and bad. Very happy with the result I got following your technique on both videos. I painted a lexan body. Very unhappy with how the paint adheres to the outside of the body. I washed the body and used a brillo pad during the process. Was very particular about letting the body dry prior to painting. I think I will have to use more aggressive cleaning/scouring pads. The Rust-Oleum has to adhere a lot better then what I have experienced.

    Thank you so much for your videos very educational is there any kind of clearcoat I can use for my son’s RC truck that doesn’t scratch as easy or use the 2K it’s quite expensive but he hasn’t scratch that yet. The problem is to is you have to use the whole can can you only have a 48 hour window so if you have any ideas I appreciate your time

    I use the sandpaper befor i paint, to roughen the surface, so the paint sticks better, could a cherokee body for my crawler.. nearly the same taktic, whitout the weathering, but whit silver under the body, so if it get skretched.. it show bare metal now ;-) and the paint from the outside don´t flake at all... sticks perfekt whit roughen it up first.. just used tamiya colors

    So I’m painting my first RC body. I got the correct primer, but got paint from Tamiya labeled TS. Will that still work? I also think that about shooting a clear coat over it.

    • @MyBuildProjects
      @MyBuildProjects 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No, the TS paint is for plastic models. Unless you're painting a hard body and not polycarbonate (Lexan™).

      Good question. That's something I should cover in a future video. There are ways of weathering decals.

    • @MyBuildProjects

      I believe they are ABS plastic. The same plastic (or very similar) used for scale models and RC hard bodies.

    Awesome video! No chipping when using those rustoleum paints? I know if you use TS paints there’s chipping If the body gets hit.

    • @MyBuildProjects
      @MyBuildProjects 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I haven't had any issues on any of the bodies I used this paint on. It's made for plastics, so it flexes. The TS paints don't flex which is why they flake off. Cleaning the body properly is key.

    Be careful weathering the white tops of these FJ40 Land Cruisers. The originals were fiberglass, so rust is not realistic. It’s a similar nitpick to rusted out Land Rovers wherein the originals have aluminum bodies... :^D
