Of all the conversions I'd seen, none were orange/black

Yep, you truly have a unique build there... can't wait to see the finished product. Are you sticking with the same colour scheme for the bodywork?

Yup, RUSTY XL-5 from here on RCM is painting a body for me. He will hopefully incorporate a little black and white into the scheme, but that is up to him...

Thanks! I am going to repaint it when the truck is totally done....I put the paint on to thick so it is peeling off in some areas and I also did not use the correct type of primer. ( I need an etched primer )...it is high temp motor paint called Plastic Cote.

The hub-carriers are RD Racing

I think you will have to sand down the primer with 150 - 220 grit to give the paint a good surface to stick to. Then apply the coats lightly.
