Painted Tank/Radio Box

[jackobyte]

Well here's my take on getting some colour inside the chassis area...

Jumped on the band wagon with the PlasticKote paint and i'm happy with the result so far...this was a well used fuel tank and has covered well even with all the grime on it from over the years...light coats and time for it to cure is the key i think..

Got a couple of touch ups to do as i smudged a bit around the gromets trying to get them back in..didn't paint them all red as you can't see the undersides and i bought red/black in the beginning as i didn't know which to go for...

Painted a couple of clear light pods too just to see how they would turn out, bit dull on the outside due to the thickness of the plastics but look ok..

Got a couple of on/off switch coming soon to see which i prefer to go on top of the radio box..
have a go fellas and post up your efforts, lots of colours to choice from...

Hope you like..

Looks like a decent job E. What did you use to degrease the tank before painting?

Who cares?
Sorted now m8 and looks good.

You're dead right, certain items look too, erm, boring after the other $£$£ spent on our rigs.
Good effort.
