All you Nitro runners (Body Shell related)

[DimmaDan]

What do you use once you have sprayed your body shells to stop Nitro fuel stripping the paint.

I had a fantastic design, ran the car and now semi stripped shell.

I airbrush with Pactra mainly.

Should i use polycarb Tamiya/custom colour paint over the completed design?

yep, just back it with a coat of Tamiya PS black/white/silver

and that'll fuelproof it fine.

I use Fascolor and that gets attacked by even just hot water;

just a light coat of Tamiya PS makes it waterproof.

Tamiya makes even a special lexan paint to cover and protect from fuel, am sure its even more resistant.

I thought the only Pactra you could buy in the uk was the solvent based one?

Her you go http://www.modelsport.co.uk/?CallFunction=...on&ItemID=19805

It's made by custom colour and you simply spray over your finished paint job.

Before over painting with different paint makes or types though always test on a scrap piece if they react.

Helger sidtribute stuff called Nitro Blocker, it seals in paint and is ace on nitro cars but also good to stop paint rubbing off on normal shells.

The Nitro will affect most if not ALL paint that we use to paint Lexan shells.

i have always used "custom colours" nitro block and find it very effective. and at only £3.99 a can it's a good buy
