F.i.M.S Presents Rc 9 miles for me haha, that’s the beauty of living in Devon

[@lowrider181]

Great video. I realised I should have gone for different paint as these Tamiya paint cans are tiny and don't cover much before you have to buy more!

[@RccarsUK]

Yeah I'm not a fan of tamiya paints

대단히 감사합니다.

[@astroblemeRC]

Hey mate! Thanks for this awesome video, does the paint cure hard? I’ve heard on the forums some hobbyists saying their paint just chips off with light bumps.

[@RccarsUK]

Yes, adhesion is good ...IF....you key first

[@astroblemeRC]

@@RccarsUK thanks mate!

[@calonyoutuber1399]

Hello there, the plastic primer i bought is transparant (clear) , is it useable ? Thanks

[@RccarsUK]

From my experience... transparent primer is usually used to seal surfaces that are porous.. e.g. wood etc etc... I've never used clear primer for a non porous surface... always used grey standard or high build yellow or high build dark gray

[@INMGRC]

Nice paint tip big thumbs up my friend XD

[@RccarsUK]

Thanks dude

[@INMGRC]

@@RccarsUK Your welcome my friend XD

[@healy7882]

nice tips ty, im going to mod the PUBG 4x4 truck into a pizza planet truck hopefully it turns out ok! as its already painted from factory will a primer go over the top with no issues?

[@RccarsUK]

You need to key the surface first before priming

[@keyrclife]

Can i paint my RTR painted hard body without removing the original color?

[@RccarsUK]

Yes.... Just key the surface first

[@emilyofficial4471]

Hello so cool

Thanks!!!

[@wpgcelica]

Yeah, I didn't prep mine really and after painting I have some nasty dust. Oh well, it's not a trophy queen, she will be trail riding lots! :)

[@RccarsUK]

Yeah mine won't be perfect! It will be bashed around soon enough!

[@michaeldavis8259]

Should I put the raptor hardbody together first before sanding are do individual pieces first then put together?

[@RccarsUK]

Do individual parts .... but paint all at the same time if possible.

[@michaeldavis8259]

Can I use rust oleum primer and does it need to be the primer for plastic?

[@RccarsUK]

Doesn't need to be plastic specific primer no... just needs to be applied on a keyed surface that's been prepped

[@charliekline3975]

How about you tape the screws on a piece or cardboard and after washing it hang it up to dry and always do the underneath first then let dry then do the upper side and hang it up to paint

[@RccarsUK]

Hey dude... Which screws?... I don't tape screws up.. I use an idiot board is necessary. As for hanging... Not a fan of hanging.. .. Over complicates things.... Fine if your baking on 2pac paint etc etc... But for spray paints... No need

[@GrandadsOtherChannel]

Great video but you are going to look silly wearing those trainers out with only one undercoated 😜 Of course I am an old guy stuck in my ways so I guess one undercoated trainer may be a new thing with you youngsters, like having your pants hanging out of your trousers and your knees all torn 😮😮😮

[@RccarsUK]

Lol...GoC your comments always make me laugh! It's one of my lads old pairs of shoes....funny...as I didn't even realize until halfway through......🤣🤣🤣 Maybe I could frame it as a modernist art statement piece ?? Shame I binned them😁

[@aljensen7779]

@@RccarsUK GrandadsOtherChannel Jeez, Grandad, When I read your "like having your pants hanging out" I thought it said '...having your PARTS hanging out' But that wouldn't be unusual either. Let's blame Fims for all of the social unrest - we're entitled because we're old enough & know how to spel.

hm you just painted your shoes , side walk and wall. maybe a better place of bigger piece of cardboard. lol
