How To Paint A Tamiya Plastic Hard Body - Part 1 BODY PREPARATION & PAINTS - Box Art Mountain Rider

[@bigwhop136]

This came out beautifully. Can I ask a question? So im trying to paint my hard body but everytime i use the tamiya masking tape to make the lines so I can paint the other side a different color when I take the tape off it leaves a streak of residue that makes me have to start all over and sand it and paint again but all I will be doing is going is circles. My question is if I leave the residue will this clear coat cover it and make is vanish? Or do you have a suggestion to get rid of the residue? Before you suggest some products I did some researching and I tried Wd40, Water, Goo Gone and using more tape to stick it and bring it up but none of these work. Thanks for any help!

Hey mate, best bet is sand the whole thing again and or repaint the body again with the new primer. That is the only thing I can think of. BTW, thanks for subscribing

Thanks, appreciate your support

[@rcmctool2918]

I noticed many people omit the primer and just spray the color on directly....

[@RCTanksTrucks247]

+Tick Tock each to their own but I always apply primer for any painting work.
