Flat black body..

[WoodiE]

NCNitro - I've seen you posted a picture or two of your flat black hummer body. Did you paint the outside of the body instead?

Myself along with a few other members are interested in hearing how you pulled that off.

How does the paint hold up in a bash?

Ahhhh ancient Chinese secret




Actually it is quite simple, mask both sides of the windows, buy a spray can of Krylon Ultra Flat Black ($2.50), it MUST be ultra flat. It adheres exceptionally well to the lexan, and will remain flexable and not chip off. I forgot to mask one window on one side, it was a bitch to get it off. It holds up great while bashing. Because it is painted black on both sides if you do scratch the top it is still black underneath, and if it starts looking crappy just mask it again and throw a new coat on top. Before you shoot it lightly scuff it inside and out with some very fine sandpaper, this will help the paint adhere better as well. DO NOT SCUFF THE WIDOWS, you don't want those cloudy. Then just hit it with a few light coats of spray paint, peel off your masks, and your done.
