Color change RSX

[bestdragon2001]

I painted my RSX with red/blue dupli-color paint from autozone, it turned out awesome exept for the spoiler and rear bumper. They have these tiny little cracks In them. Whats wrong with them? I will post pics when and if I can find my usb cord.

[suicide_star]

those tiny cracks are a reaction due to it being dirty or having some sort of chemical on them. your best bet is to go ahead and sand them down again, clean them really well with some kind of detergent and respray.

edit: also, if you're using duplicolor basecoat make sure you're using their primer and clearcoat too, sometimes if you mix different paint brands with others they'll react.

[bestdragon2001]

Thanks for the help, I painted the body really well but I kinda rushed the body kit.

edit: it came with everything in 1 box, primer, paint, and clear.

i can't wait to see the pictures, i've been trying to find that paint for a long time, but i guess they don't sell that stuff where i live.

Yeah I know and I still have enough to paint another car or maybe 2.

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

that rsx will look sick with sum decals,IMO are ou gonna add sum?

O, does it matter what kind of paint you use, cuz i bought some dark blue paint and it said that its for metals, i think its alright, my dad said it would be, what do u guys think?

[bestdragon2001]

I might add some decals, what do you think would look good guys?

[xmodkidd33]

Thanks dude!

[xmodkidd33]

No problem. Leave it how it is like I said, you wouldn't want to screw up that nice PJ.

[bestdragon2001]

I have a chassis coming from ebay, I am going to paint it metallic silver an my wheels the same color. Also I am going make exaust from a .22 rifle shell.Then Im going to enter it in a comp.

[xmodkidd33]

.22? You're kidding, lol. I said don't rice it out. :***: <- Funny emote, saw a chance to use it.

What color are you painting the wheels? I would like a clarification.:-?

[bestdragon2001]

Hey its a drifter I think it will suit the car.
Oh and that color, IDK its some kind of spray paint by rustoleum, but yeah it looks good.

[xmodkidd33]

Okay. How could a FWD car (In real life) drift? it'll be cool, but be careful. The Rice Police may come knocking.

[bestdragon2001]

Im not going to use it, I sat the shell in place and it does look too rice, but this car can drift pretty good, look at this thread:http://www.xmodsource.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12307

Did you buy a chassis off Hardcore Hobbies?
Or one of those crappy stiletto's?

Hope you got the hardcore hobbies one....

[bestdragon2001]

Yes its a stock chassis from hardcore hobbies.
I was just wondering whats wrong with those stillettos, everyone says theyre crappy? Just wondering, never had one.

Suicide and I both will tell you.

Okay, me first.:lol:
My chassis came, I thought it was sick.
I whipped up AM's tut, then started building the standoffs.

They were too small, the hex nuts stripped, the servo standoffs were too short, so I had to use the motor screew on one side.

Look at Xmodifier's G35, That was my chassis I gave to him, I had to use electric tape to make it stable.:lol:

[bestdragon2001]

Oh yeah this is a gen1 I was thinking the stilletto was for gen1 and the switchblade for evo, I had the names mixed up.btw isnt there a cheap ebay switchblade too?

[2wdpancar]

Same deal, B1Gdude said he had to use stock screws.
These ebay people are money hungry, make your own chassis with a dremel or side nippers and aluminum!

I used side nippers because my dremel cutting wheel snapped in 2 peices, but hey it's nice. lol:nod: :lol:

[bestdragon2001]

Where could I get some thin aluminum at?
One more thing, is there a way that I can mount my stock battery holders on a custom chassis?
Could you give some pics of yours BLT?

For that HC hobbies one you should use stick tape, I bought one, it's crap on the sides, buy some super mount tape at your RS.

Yeah, hold up bro, it looks like crap but hey it'll work.:lol:

[bestdragon2001]

The chassis I bought from them was a completely stock one, just like the original, the only reason I bought a new one was because If I mess up on painting I will have a spare.

It was the only stock chassis they had, in the description it said they used it to display bodies in their shop.
Ok I got 2 more pics:
