Bennett Ironman 100 Posted November 9, 2020 Question for ya, Do I paint my 'Candy Green' body for my Grasshopper ?Β As we know it comes green but I am thinking of getting the Tamiya paint π¨ and spraying it....she's going to be a shelf Queen π anywayΒ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TurnipJF 9115 Posted November 9, 2020 The Candy Green Grasshopper shell is both moulded in green plastic and factory-painted in Tamiya TS Candy Green already, so you would simply be putting on more of the same paint. For a runner this might give a thicker and more durable finish, but I don't see the point for a shelf queen personally. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy1 2929 Posted November 9, 2020 if it's already painted as @TurnipJF says, give it a wet sand with some wet 1200grit wet and dry and then a good polish. It's amazing how much of a difference this can make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
