    Pictures of my red tails




    I took my tails out the night before and sanded them with a 600 grit paper to to scuff them up a little bit. Then the next morning I took the Testors, Transparent Candy Apple Red paint and put about 3 or four coats on them then laid 3 coats of flat lacquer on top of that. Turned out good in my opinion!

    Well thanks, I figured since I was going to do it I might as well do it the right way... And hopefully this is one of the first of many things I plan to do to my 3gee

    Looks awesome. Got a question why did you decide to use a flat laquer clear instead of a gloss clear?
