Got the new gun setup and did my skuttle plate/wiper cowl. The lighting makes the candy paint hard to get a good picture of with no clear. The red is on and is MUCH smoother then the fenders. Thank GOD.

Shit.. I totally set myself up for that one. haha

Not mine, but a great deal on a 280! http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/1788624697.html

http://community.ratsun.net/topic/21642-after-market-power-locks/ Go there and look through the relay system. Would probably work for your needs.

I'm in no rush for them, so if you need em, go ahead :P I'm sure I can find another deal sometime in the next few weeks.

I would totally LIVE in a place like that. Nothing sexier then that :P

The place is just sooo beautiful

Your spelling sucks skib. lol I just happened to type Ratsun into Google Chrome wrong and this thread comes up

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

So the paint didn't go as well as planned at first. But that's why I was using my fenders as test panels. I got the clear on today and it was a pin in the ass. Turns out the gun I was using is just a piece of dig shit, and the fact that the compressor had water condense in it from the extreme heat outside didn't help. After doing some tuning and such on the gun, it came out great. Put down 8 coats of clear. I'd upload a picture, but it's just near impossible to get a good picture on such a small surface. I'm going to pick up a new gun tomorrow, as well as an inline dryer for the compressor. Hopefully then the paint will turn out better.

VTAC yo. lol Loving that car.

Wowww... Just... wow..... http://www.mysterywarehouse.com/index.php This is a lucky guy.

Touche sir. lol

Drill with brush wheel and some primer. You can always sandblast like me :)

I'm moving to Nevada one of these days

I have an Exceed truck modeled after the slayer. The Slayer is by far one of my fav Nitro's. The HPI are okay, but not anywhere nice as the Traxxas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHeCIqfBIns

If someone wants to buy it, I'll store it and hold onto the title for you ;)

It's name is Jannett!! Oh wait... I think I read that wrong...

Seems like a question to be asked on Datsun1200.com Theres plenty of boosted (turbo AND S/C) A15 motors out there. If you don't care if you blow it, give it to me. I'll gladly rebuild it and treat it right.

Fuck today was going soooo nicely... Then the gun decided to start spitting like a llama. Oh well, I can wet sand that, right?? Then... POP UP THUNDERSTORMS with hail. Ahhhh crap...

What work have you done? Any refreshing of the valvetrain or bottom end?

Jesus....... Cali bastards. Come to Georgia and entertain me. lol

A few quick pics. I did some test panels which turned out pretty good. The gun is crap, so I'm going to get a new one Saturday. YES I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SAY! I'm an idiot for doing it outside. I don't care. These are just test panels that are probably going to be replaced or sanded again anyways. Theres no clear yet, because the process says to wait 24 hours before applying. I'll do it tomorrow hopefully, and buff it out then the metallic will REALLY shine through.
