painting the frame

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Use red scotch bright and scuff all the parts frame and all then was with a good dish soap or spray down with a ready prep from the body shop. I spray all my frames built with out tanks and steps and tranny. I first use a black Dupont etching primer then I use a light gray Dupont finish primer and then your color. You should always use a finish primer over etch as etching primers can bleed back threw time to time.

i think i am going to assemble the whole frame and suspension and paint as one...i am in the process of re-fitting all the components to the new rails..(finding out some holes are not the same diameter and 2 so far are missing)..

Paul, just a hint, you do not want to use dish soap or any other liquid soap that is meant to be used where contact with a humans hands is likely.. They have lanolin in them and that will cause fish eye's in the paint job.

Just an FYI
