Paint suggestions please!

Post by nukengineer »

Hello,

I have a rc10t2 that I dug out and would like to fix up to be new again! I would like to paint the frame blue and im wanting to either to buy the rpm products that are blue or dye the ones I have. (im having a hard time finding them) My question is do I buy a airbrush kit and airbrush the frame or spray paint it? I want excellent results!

Any advice will be amazing!!

depends...are you going to run it or is this just a shelfer rebuild? If its going to the shelf then by all means get yourself an airbrush and have at it. If its going to be a runner I would suggest finding a local powdercoater or sending away to a powdercoater. You could also go by way of finding an annodizer and having it put to the ultimate by having it redone but that is not very cost effective. Really all depends on what your intentions are going to be.

As far as the RPM parts ebay is the best bet but otherwise I believe towerhobbies still has the rear arms. They would be the same as for the rc10gt.

Good luck with your endeavor and welcome to the board.

Thank you for your reply! I plan on running the car so I will look into the powercoat and get that done!
