What are you doing over here Fog!! 😂 The Tamiya paint keeps it supple. Nothing lasts forever in RC anyway unless it's a shelf queen. I bash em.
I troll this forum sometimes for unsuspecting victims 😆

Nah, every once in awhile I pop in and see if I can offer any help in the non-Arrma specific threads. The Radiomaster guys here are more plentiful than RCT as well it seems.

And I know some of you clowns hang out here too, so keeping an eye on ya's 👁🙈😝

Not sure how well that will adhere, but that paint job looks great! The Parma Faskolor paints are formulated to bond very well with lexan. I used some basic acrylic paint on a 24th scale slot car lexan shell when I was a young. It did not stick well. So I would be really curious if the Vallejo stuff does stay put because it would open up a lot more color choices if it does. So keep us posted if you run it much.
 
My Ecto was painted with Acrylics and has taken some good tumbles with no problems. Now mind you it's supposed to look like that. :ROFLMAO: but no flaking or chipping at all.

Demo Derby shell had a good first bashing session yesterday, no signs of damage or chipping yet. And driven by my daughter friends, all complete novice in RC driving. Good news by now, I had heard good things about Vallejo Premium, some people pro RC painters here swear by it, and I've seen even helmets and bike fuel tanks finished with awesome results.

I love that truck, Doom. You absolutely slayed it with that body. Too cool for school, man.
