Okay got some progress . I sanded, cleaned, primed and painted the body. when i started to color sand the kit the paint just started to chip off. so im guessing i didn't clean the kit right. so i stripped the paint off and since its resin im gonna soak it in water and bleach. I heard that works but, i could use some help if anyone could let me know of a good way to prep resin bodys for paint I would appreciate it. Well since i have to start over on the body. i looks like my OCD has kicked in and i guess ill do some body modifications.       Well the kit didn't come with a roll cage  ? so im scratch building one. |

Sweet detail on the gauges man !! Im not sure about the bleach working. i watched a video on youtub. it was some girl putting together a resin figure kit. She said a good way to clean resin was to let it soak in bleach. she didn't say how long ,so... i let it soak overnight. i waited 3 days before i primed my kit. I did Airbrush the color on a few days ago. so ill let you know how it goes. |

I re-painted the Arta and wet sanded the paint. the problem i was having with chipping is gone, so I'm guessing i didn't clean it right the 1st time. so now its time to add a coat of clear and start the decals  |
