LOL That's the dogs laying spot. I had to move her.

An axle is drilled wrong and the cvd will bind, so I couldn't build it. I should be getting one tomorrow or Monday for some racing next weekend.

Once I have everything that I need for the 8ight, I will be spending more time on CFX paintworks. I am sure I will learn something that could possibly help me out with practicing cutting lines.

u dont need to spend time on cfx to learn how to practice cutting lines (although i highly recommend the site lol) all you can do is practice and have insane amounts of patience, it takes me about 3 times as long to cut the masks as it does to paint it

UE-Maxx · (#132 (**permalink**))

I have a lot of patience. Look's like I just have to practice.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#133 (**permalink**))

yup the more bodies u do the better, you can also mask off coke bottles and stuff and paint stuff on there

UE-Maxx · (#134 (**permalink**))

Only problem with that is when you cut the bottle, it stays in a circular shape. I know it helps with like the curves of the body, but it is still weird.

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#135 (**permalink**))

thats the thing, it helps u get used to cutting around curves and stuff

UE-Maxx · (#136 (**permalink**))

Gotcha

Are spaz stix paints waterbased? I thought I read that they are not, but I asked someone at a hobby shop and they said they were waterbased. I was couldn't find anywhere on the bottle that said what they were.

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#138 (**permalink**))

pretty sure they are lacquer....do they really stink and make you dizzy when you spray them? then they are prolly solvent based....

read all about it here:

I haven't bought any yet. Needed to find out what they are before I do buy them.

Tex · (#140 (**permalink**))

guys, please paint safely and wear masks with laquer paints...I know this is a Known thing but that stuff is toxic...toxic=bad in this case

Huffing paint is not a good thing and it will kill a ton of brain cells, just listen to Mike talk for a while and you'll see what I mean.....

Plus if your going to huff paint, use the good chit, silver and gold

Spaz instructions sheet. Clean up section states "lacquer based".

Wear your respirator, not just a cheesy 3M sanding mask.
