Ceramic coating on their RC body?

[Dave1899]

Has anyone done a ceramic coating on their RC body? I was thinking about doing that on my Big Rock because that flat black gets finger prints on it.

I have considered that before! I have never actually done it though. I have some of Adams Polishes Spray in my closet.

Never done that, but I would recommend a polycarbonate specific coating.

I tried putting a ceramic glaze on an Infraction, but the body melted in the kiln.

Thanks I never heard of that but I looked it up and it looks good. Then I remembered I had some NEXTGEN ceramic coating in the garage. Found it and applied it tonight. I think this will work great!

For dust repelent proprieties

If I knew it smelled like cherries I'd have bought it.

Never used it on a RC car or truck but on my RC speed boats I do because it lasts longer than waxing and it sheets the water away .I don't think it does anything for a RC car or truck shell .you still get finger prints on it .but it leaves no water marks .I use ceramic coating on my props also .it gives a nice coat and reduces drag same for the shell at high speeds. I take them out of the water and they are almost perfectly dry..I also use it on my 1/1 scale real cars and it protects them from the dangerous uv rays.try using a automotive spray wax.its cheaper and you'll still get a quick coat which should help with fingerprints for a bit.ceramic coating is not cheap .at least not for the good stuff . chemical guys make a good one ..pretty reasonable.and I believe most Walmarts sell it ..good luck

Thanks for the comments. I found some Nexgen in the garage and used that. It came out great and the Truck is still flat black!

I ain't gonna lie I use my chemical guys detail spray on my bodies before speed runs and drag races lol in my mind it makes it more aerodynamic and better looking

Yeah chemical guys is good stuff..that's why I mentioned it .price isn't bad for the quality..
