So, I've been following/reading a bunch of painting threads in preperation for this...but I keep getting different answers, depending on who you ask, so I'm hoping maybe someone here has 'the definitive'
Hardbodys (For me, specifically, its the Tamiya Sand scorcher body)...
I get that you need to prep this style of body (Or all bodies for that matter)
So here's the steps I'm hearing
Wash it (Super Green, or dish soap)
Scuff it (Sandpaper, preferably wet)
Wash it again and let it dry...
Wipe it down with a cloth
Then, this is where it comes all the random posts not making any sense...do you prime this? Or because its a plastic, do you just use a Tamiya plastic paint, since its ment to adhere to plastic?
What do you do? What are your steps for a hardbody?
