Just to be different, I actually prefer the blue to unfinished aluminum. Everyone and their mother has a blue chassis 3.3 though.

I've been busy this evening and the truck is looking great. The anodizing all came off really easy but the fumes made my head all loopy.

chassis having an easy off oven cleaner soak:

drkros3 11.14.2007 01:12 AM

wow that does look good.

squeeforever 11.14.2007 01:19 AM

Dicky, looks really good! Maybe dye the wing and blue dust boots?

drkros3 11.14.2007 01:21 AM

hey jsut a fast question. say you wanted to paint the chassis a different color after you stripe it what kinda paint would you use.

DickyT 11.14.2007 01:33 AM

Thanks guys. Squee, I will get a new wing for it, I want one of the high downforce ones in black and the new traxxas one for photo's and the dust boots are shot. I'm thinking about dying the new ones when I replace them.

As far as painting, it will chip, but you would prep, primer and paint it like any other metal.

squeeforever 11.14.2007 01:42 AM

I would look into getting it anodized or powder coated.

rchotrodz 11.14.2007 03:23 AM

^ that would be the only way to go without it chipping real bad

BL_RV0 11.14.2007 10:47 AM

looks great! you should paint the springs and turnbuckles and pushrods.

squeeforever 11.14.2007 07:44 PM

Why would he paint the red Traxxas Tubes or the springs that match?
