Is this guy for real!! You don't get advice for painting model car bodyshells from Halfords!!

Nearly everybody has told you on this thread you paint it on the inside, and you just tell them they are lying to you! This is a R/C car site and trust me, the guys on here will know a LOT more than the clown at Halfords!!

It seems to me like your going to do it your way and screw it up anyway, so i've probably just wasted 5 minutes of my life writing this post. Although i would like to see some pictures of the paint job lol

Ah, the smell of wind-up!!

[Wacker 2]

Gotta be a wind up... laughing my ass off! Although I fear it may be genuine!

The fact that this guy writes in text form and not in 'propper' english should tell us something.

So here goes in real basic terms:

First off Mike... great username!

Lexus is a make of car... a BIG car... that you sit in and drive on the roads (or steal for drug money - whichever your social circle prefers)

Lexan (notice the 'a' instead of the 'u') is a make of clear plastic that is used to make bodyshells for RC (Radio Controlled) cars. This is a plastic that is designed to flex (flex = be flexible and not solid)

Halfords is a retail shop to buy accessories for BIG cars. It may also be where your home-boys work as they have no education!

Hobby shop is the name used to describe shops that sell products relating to hobbies... Radio Controlled cars is a hobby so this is where you need to go. For example the high street store 'Dominoes' (not the pizza place where foreigners come to work) will sell paint for such hobbies. Alternatively (or) you could order online (using the internet) through websites such as Microtech Racing, PBM Models, Apex Models, DMS Racing.

The paint you buy from Halfords will be designed for BIG cars... and so is designed to be painted on metal which is a solid material. Therefore the paint does not need to flex.

The paint you need to buy NEEDS to flex as it is being painted onto a plastic that will bend and flex.

You obviously paint on the outside of a BIG car - if you sprayed on the inside you would not see it as the metal is not transparent (see through'able). When painting a BIG car you need to use laquer to give a shiny finish.

You normally paint on the inside of a lexAn bodyshell to get the best finish. As the plastic is transparent, you paint on the inside so that when you look from the outside you see the colour plus it looks shiny as the plastic is shiny. Therefore you have no need for additional laquer. However, you 'can' spray on the outside of a bodyshell but the finish wont be very good - plus it will scratch very easily... this is why you normally dont paint on the outside!

Hope this helps, but if you're going to come on here and ask a question, then listen to the answer as we know what we're talking about - as mentioned before we have been racing for many many years and so we get a little pissed off when a 'So Solid' wann-a-be tells us that we're wrong and that a Halfords loser knows best!

Peace out 'bro'.

Do we have a rule about text speak being used on the forum? If not, can we have one; please!

[jim76]

you seem to be confusing "lexus" which is a big car made by Toyota, with "LEXAN" which is a type of plastic.
the shells on model cars are made of lexan plastic. Halfords paint is designed for proper road cars, not little plastic model cars.

As said, you need to go to a model shop and by some "lexan paint". Then spray the shell on the INSIDE. that way, when the car rolls over it won't get scratched off.


If you want advice on this forum, best to follow 2 rules
1 - try and type a normal sentence. no stupid text speak typing. that way people will understand what you are asking
2 - follow the advice given. People on here have been racing for years so they know what they are talking about. If you tell them they know nothing they will get annoyed and give you no further help.
