Goinstraightup -> Painted Finish Question (12/2/2007 4:39:58 PM)

I got this tank at a swap meet and am about to put my gear in it. When I was cleaning the dust off, some of the black came off easily. I just think they sprayed some of the black on parts that were not clean. Now I am working on the underside and some of the green camo color is coming off revealing blue monocoat.

Anyway, do you think I should just leave it, or should I spray the whole thing with some flat clear? I don't have a lot invested, but I would like to keep it looking somewhat nice.

Thanks in advance Jeff

Oh, the main wing / body is foam covered with monocaot and the ends are coroplast.

I was about to suggest that you were in the wrong forum when I noticed it is a flying tank. I had a flying Indy car, all made of 4MM coroplast. It was not very manueverable. I have a coroplast flying lawnmower that is very manueverable. I would like to read how well your tank flys.

Thanks Villa. We had a pretty big snowstorm last night here in WI. My Tank probably won't fly 'til spring.

Did you have any paint on your flying Indy car?

Jeff

No paint on mine. I usuallyy use colored vinel stick-on material. My flying mower and flyinindy car can be seen here.

Your mower and Indy car look great. I've done several SPA3D's and PBF's. I've used the vinyl with them as well. I bought some satin finish Krylon clear today will try later in the week to see how it goes.
