This “Spaz Stix” chrome I used for a bumper is pretty reflective even on the painted side. The label is lost and gone but looking at the bottom of the cans I’m 99% sure it’s a Spaz Stix product. 9576ED4B-7DDC-45C9-B000-ED2F04CDD170.jpeg 0B6AB7A1-0991-440A-B505-BBC1B8F3706B.jpeg 84AFCCCA-C7D7-4109-AE...

I have Alclad II but it's for Lexan, will Spaz Stix work on nylon or hard plastics, like the knockoffs?

To my knowledge I thought polycarbonate paint works good on plastics, but plastics paint on polycarbonate is a nogo.

I was recommending the Spaz Stix for the knock offs, but if you decide to use it on the bumpers, it’s almost mirror on the outside of the body. I’ll take a picture of the bumper I pictured earlier later, if you would like to see it?

That Revell looks to work really good, but that’s some expensive paint. The Spaz Stix even surprised me going on that first spoon, but a mirror smooth finish sure helped a lot I bet. As you saw in the video, chrome on lexan gives an almost mirror finish. But still only as good as the surface finish ...

I’ve been waiting on my window net material to show up. Dropped a Cadillac motor and NiCad pack in to give it some weight. Probably going to call it good enough.

I agree, definitely looks like a chassis skin, and the anir trapped around the screw/holes.

Those are some cool pictures! Please keep posting these for us non FB people.

Congrats R6cowboy!!

Bought a magazine, didn’t know it came with a free hex driver. Free tools are always a good day.

As a U.S.A. member, I’ve never had to pay import/customs fees.

Technically yesterday, just getting around to opening it.

Unique, would love to see a rebuild thread for this.

I was out of the hobby for a long time myself and since getting back in I have not seen/heard of the Earls kit yet. First time seeing a well made conversion for the XX. I agree with your choice of just cleaning it up and preserving it. Awesome grab, very jelly over here……
