Default a couple things.......
on the outside, you should lay down silver “lexan” paint,let it set over night, then spray regular spray paint (very light coats, w/10min flash dry times), followed by a few coats of clear....

i just did this, and it looks wicked!!!!
if you do the lexan paint as a basecoat, it somehow allows the reg. spraypaint to stay really flexy.

also makes bodylines look awesome!

other thing.....where is this comp/gtg ????

Thanks for the tip man.
I actually use a styrene/lexan primer which works great for these bodies. All my trucks get it.

The event itself will be held just outside of Lethbridge, AB About 5 mins east of town.

Thanks Kev.
I guess I shoulda taken a before pic of the wheels. But just adding that 1/4'' made a huge difference specially with the axial hubs.
