It's pretty much "done." Have a few details to finish and I'll get some clear on it.
Then it will get new wheels and tires. Something more fitting this off-road beast
Maybe brushless? Currently this is running factory electronics

Now that I have some metallic black from my 1:10 build I wanted to get
it on the S10 body
Got it out and realized I really wasn't happy with how bad the print lines were.
Did some more wet sanding last night
Just threw another quick coat of pink before getting ready for work

Just put another coat of pink
Hopefully that's enough
Otherwise I won't get more on until Thursday
I really want to get the black on

 

[Tallbump]

All taped up and ready for black
Not sure if I'm going straight black or primer first
I'm impatient and don't want to do primer, but I feel it would probably look better if I use primer

If you don't want to primer it you could just give it a bit of a scuffing with sandpaper. I personally would go the primer route. I get impatient too, but sometimes it's worth the wait.

I've learned that the hard way

I still need wheels and tires to complete the build so I might as well do the pain the right way

Plus I need to get clear coat for it
