As a continuation to this thread, are there any modern bodies for a runner (Pro XL) that come pre-painted? Something Traxxas or Duratrax most likely. Thanks for the replies.

That makes sense

thanks Coelacanth, what does the backing do? Strengthen the paint? Make the color stronger in that it stops light from shining through? Just wondering. Take care!

I have looked around and found conflicting opinions about backing painted lexan bodies. Do you back your paint jobs with a final layer of paint? I have read that you should and that the paint should be black (others say white and I have read that silver works for a metallic paint). Is this a good id...

They ended for $85 with shipping, wow. We need some reproductions available again.

bdrmbully - I already ordered them, ah well. I did think that they would be sold out at that price if they really fit the Optima red shocks, but I went ahead. I'll keep looking.

thanks coelacanth - I'll check those out

I know MikeDealer had a link to reproduction red shock collars, but they aren't sold anymore. Any other ideas? I have a great set of red shocks, but all have broken collars. Thanks for the help!

Looks great, how did you polish it and did you paint or dye the black parts? Nice work.

the javelin cage - sign me up, please think about it Marwan

His stuff always comes well-packed and he is great to work with this - good news!

I did search: paint, sand super, etc.

I knew I had read about it here or on TamiyaClub, but I couldn't find it.

That pen is great.

Thanks!

I looked around on the forums for the answer, but couldn't find it.

I have always wanted to know - how do you paint the white Sand Super on all those shelf queen tires? With a brush, paint pen?

Ha - peanut butter and banana .

I really like the Ultima Pro green and yellow scheme.

Looks great. Will you then paint the figure from the outside? The figures are tough for me to paint myself to the standards I want.
