Brian Posted July 7, 2003 Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 Ok so I've been working on this RG 570 doing a new tutorial and I noticed a paint chip missing from the body.......................... Can you see it! . . . . Here look a little closer! . . . . That's gotta be some kind of world record no? So should I glue it on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted July 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2003 The reason this particular body probably started chipping to begin with was that the factory didn't leave enough rough surface on the sanding sealer before they painted the body. I mean it is so smooth under the paint it isn't funny, seriously it is to smooth, so there is nothing for the paint to hold onto. I started out along the side of the body just playing with an exacto blade sliding it under the paint lifting it up where I could. Once I had the outside perimeter done I took my 6" scale which is thin enough and just slid it under the paint and lifted it off in one large piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
