    Remove Overspray from a Lexan Body

    Was it TS paint on a lexan body or did you mean PS paint? TS is the wrong paint for lexan.

    Any way, the above mentioned Tamiya product works well I hear. Another  "mild"  cleaner would be WD40 and some rubbing. but will have to clean body off when done to get rid of oily residue. It is a gentle approach.

    yea sorry, i meant PS Paint

    Tamiya Polycarbonate paint on Wheels, Can it be done?

    in Build Tips and Techniques

    Posted

    I have been trying to search for answer about this, but i have come up empty.

    I have been trying to find replacement wheels for my Bush Devil, but as most of you know, it is hard to find. I do have a set of the original wheels, but i guess they were painted silver back in the day. I went to a local hobby store and picked up a can of fluorescent pink for the wheels. However i didnt read the label well enough at the store, and its the polycarbonate paint can.

    I am just wondering, would i be able to use that paint on the Plastic Wheels? Or do i need a different type of spray paint. 

    The wheels are not in the greatest shape, so i dont care if they are not perfect, but i dont want the paint to look horrible on it.

    Those G Parts look difficult to find these days, can get them on Ebay UK but shipping is pricey - https://www.ebay.co.uk/c/1028945170

    50428 Wheels on Ebay from Spain - https://www.ebay.com/itm/TAMIYA-50428-RACING-MONSTER-WHEEL-SET-FLUORESCENT-PINK/312589575369?hash=item48c7ca64c9:g:9YcAAOSwRE9bqSS4

     

    Post a thread in the Parts Wanted section here, maybe someone will see it and have what you're looking for - https://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?/forum/13-sales-trades-wanted/

    Tough to restore these old Discontuned models at times, pretty much have to get lucky and hope to find the parts you're looking for.  Best of luck.

     

     

    Thanks for the links, i have seen those before. I am somewhat confused on that eBay UK Link. It says its "G" Parts, but that is definitely not the "G" parts i am looking for.  

    I also reached out that the guy with the Pink Wheels, but he only has one set of those wheels. I have a set of the Pink Wheels already, but have no clue what i did to them a long time ago, and the paint is pretty messed up and i have white paint on them too. 

    Yea i hear ya on finding the parts. I just found the C parts this morning. Guy listed them on ebay just before i found it, the price wasnt to bad so jumped on it quickly.  I know i use to have the "G" parts, but i must of thrown it out a long time ago as i never used the original Bush Devil Body with the chassis i have.

    Hi @LUMatt the roll bar & lights are in production in black or chrome for the continued use of the body shell on later models like Landfreeder and bush devil 2 & the future release TT02FT tracked 

    I’ve seen the front wheels on sale new (eBay) but not the back ones in 3 years of looking!

    Another point is probably one you already know but when looking about for some of the parts you can search under Super Blackfoot too.

    Would love to see some photos of your Bush Devil resto :D

    thanks for the info. It is kind of weird that there is two separate part numbers for the wheels.
