So it's time to get a new body painted for the Revo. The question is, what paints do Iuse so it won't just chip off as soon as it flips over. I've painted one with just rattle can, and well it looked good untill it landed on something other than it's tires. Idon't have an airbrush yet, I'm looking at a Master Airbrush model G75, but Idon't even know if it's a good one. Just currious on some oppinions.
Thanks</p>

Are you painting the inside? I have rattle canned a couple bodies and they don't chip if you use the right paint made for lexan. Check out the painting forum.

My Feedback: (11)

Tamiya, Pactra, Spazz Stix and a couple of other companies make polycarbounate paints that are especially designed to adhere to the lexan bodies. Also when painting you will want to paint the inside of the body not the outside.

I know to paint the inside, just didn't know the right kind of paints to use.

bottom line, make sure it says for LEXAN

Cool, thanks for the info.

also clean the inside of the body with dishsoap because they use a lubricant to prevent the body sticking to the mold

as for getting an airbrush go for iwata! cheap reliable and easy to use/maintain

I have a question: for when you order emaxx bodies, and it is a "prepainted body" do you still have to apply the final color frrom the inside?It would make sense if the design was already on the outside and then you just painted the color on the inside...

Both of the bodies that I have bought for my Revo 3.3 came clear with a pealable layer on the outside. You have to apply decals and whatnot before you paint.

you should wait untill the paint is done before you remove the over spray film, then you apply the stickers...
