I guess this build in over 30 years in the making, a buddy bought this body and hacked it but good, decades back he gave me his RC junk rather than pay me back on loans.
while the black paint was for lexan i believe the silver was testor enamel and he made a mess with it then tried to clean i assume the silver off the windows with a solvent that hazed up the clear, from the looks he drank a lot of coffee got a blindfold and tried to hand paint stuff testors silver from the inside then sprayed the black over that from the inside.
Still its an old cool body i want to use on a old school build,
My thought was not to even try stripping it from the inside but just fine grit sand the outside and shoot it flat from the outside, repaint any silver trim i do want from the outside too, the front windscreen is hazed up the rear is silver, i thought perhaps on the rear i could airbrush it a candy color and the silver would serve as its base,
I'm wanting a rat rod bomber wasteland type idea so not at all perfect finish but this car is a vette so it wouldnt have rusted damage but rather busted and repaired fiberglass,
So here it is open to ideas just dont say toss it in the trash bin.lol
