Truck looks fantastic!.....Take some vid of the maiden voyage!

 

[Ildy666]

Very nice...great job now go get some dirt on it.

What did you use to strip stock paint

 

[NUNCHUCKSKILZ]

Goof off. Took the paint right off. Very little effort.

No hazing of the lexan?

 

[krashkrieg]

I'm guessing the hazing wouldn't make a difference once it's repainted.

 

[NUNCHUCKSKILZ]

No hazing of the lexan?

If you spray it right on it will haze, I used a Blue HD shop towel. The body was The Stock Green and it left a faint Green tint that wouldn't come out. The only place it showed was on the White parts. There is a very slight green haze in it. But its still 100 time better than stock IMO..

Looks great Nunchuk! You gonna be running her at Powerjam next year?

 

[NUNCHUCKSKILZ]

Thanks Obeast, And yes I am gonna run her a PJ. Im just waiting for Jamie to hook me up with all the driveline stuff and she will all finished.. So hopefully we can throw down next year.. I guess I still have to switch over to Nuey shocks THEN I think she will be done.. Thanks for some of the info on the 7075 stuff early on in this build..

Hi guys. Did the goof off discolor or damage the body in any way? I used it one time on a regular nitro lean body and it left a mark.

What kind of paint did you use?

 

[rampagemt]

It's paint just for lexan look on largescalerc or tower hobbies they got pactra,or theres tamiya

 

[NUNCHUCKSKILZ]

Yep, I used Pactra paint. This had been a fun build we have 20 degree temps and 13 in of snow now. So she just sits looking pretty.
