When you get ripped off...get the duct tape and Paint out!!!
You may remember me looking for the guy that I sent money to for a new xl body......well I found him...and spoke with him via E-mail once.,...but it doesn't look like he thinks my 33 dollars canadian is enough for anyone to complain about losing....which sucks....but the Karma Police are always on the job...so....whatever
here is what you do when you have a trashed body from a .25 on your XL,,,,and can't afford to buy another one...after paying someone for one...and them not sending it to you....
I really should have taken before and after pics,,,,to show how good I really did do with the "duct tape body work".....but I didn't ...so here are the final pics...
Rattle can paint job...with no real detail...kinda Ghetto,,,,,but it looks alot better than it was...and is muck more structurally sound than it was too!!...the rattleing of the smashed body was ofter louder than the Picco .26!!!
now Bring on the sand....so I can try out those Pro Lines!!!!
Cheers

Has enyone thought of using that rhino liner in a can that you can buy almost enywhere. You could make you body indestrustable and maybe coat your plastic park to make stronger and less likely to loose a chunk of plastic when you hit a rock. And its shock resistant. I may i have to try this for myself.

Yes but the problem was that private shops usually have those liners exclusively. There is one available from Duplicolor I believe thats available for purchase to the general public..

There is a rocker gaurd protector in a can.....just a rubberized kinda spray....you can get It here at Canadian Tire...but I've never seen a Canadian Tire in the States....so you may try Pep Boys!! I bet that would be a good alternative to the RLner.....try it!...take Pics!,....share!
