Iv spent some time painting bodies in the past and I love the fact that the exb is painted. Truth be told I would much rather paint it myself but I have a hand full with the build.
To me the truck is was too nice for duct tape or shoe goo and drywall tape. Theres gotta be a better way.
So I was thinking of trying this out first on an old 1/10 scale Porsche 924 body I painted years ago first.
I was going to spray the underside with 3m high strength adhesive.
Then cut up a bag of loose carbon fiber cloth bits, really small and pull them apart so there like a web.
Then stick it to the adhesive and press it down with parchment paper (silicon non stick) and remove paper.
Then multiple coats of 3m rubberized undercoating over all that. I could even add more CF as I lay down the rubberized coating.
My main concern is adhesion to the body as plastics are "contaminated" for lack of better word and don't hold glue well, other than shoe goo. My other concern is adding weight.
I'v had really good luck with 3m spray adhesive in the past with plastics. Another option might be 3m VHB tape.
What do you guys think?
