870c to 91 works build

In my personal experience a cold dye will not take, but it will tint the parts enough to really make you mad that you tried it. Painting is safest.

If they were mine, I'd paint them.
Paint is removable, dye is permanent.

Yeah they were cleaned super good and already have two coats of white on them. Then I will spray tamiya metallic green over the white. It is very close to the Masami green.

Ok it's a roller now. Super stoked how this has turned out. I have a new reciever and new esc I will install shortly.

Frickin beautiful man. Now ya gotta get that masami body painted up.

[mikea96]

I'm going to have to get someone to paint if for me as I suck at painting.

[mikea96]

This is by far the most satisfying build to date. The Yokomos are works of art.

Looks amazing Mike. ... and the green painted bulkhead caps are well suited to this car. Well done!!
Can't wait to see the car finished with body and wing.

WOW ! Insanely good ! One of the best Yoke's I've ever seen

[mikea96]

Thanks! I have to change out a couple things still. I have nip front uprights plus some hardware to install as well.

[jwscab]

so........what's left of the 870C?

[mikea96]

Let's see! motor mount and cap, battery posts and some hardware so not much. And some other stuff left that will be used on rc10 worlds build.

[mikea96]

Added a new front bumper. Going to try and replicate a few of these with my new pin router.

Looks great. I just bought a Works 91 NIB off eBay. First Yokomo. Will be building it.

Did you just use spray paint for lexan? I’m thinking of painting them as well.

Thanks for sharing your build.

[mikea96]

I used Tamiya paint for plastic not lexan. I think lexan paint would leave a flat finish instead of a shiny finish.
