Honda CRX

Just got in my CRX body today from Scale Autos, the CRX is alot smaller from the original stock bodies, but i think it will still fit. i am also worried about having an LED setup for that car, it may not fit the way i would like it to.

I will have pics of the CLEAR lexan body mon.

I got a question about lexan paint though, i have been searching (online) through my local hobby shop and I've never seen a paint labeled(lexan). But i have seen the Tamiya Paint Marker esp. for lexan bodies. What are lexan paints called and do i have to airbrush??

You want to use acrylic paints, so tamiya is good... it's what I prefer, easy clean-up. Make sure you paint the inside and not the outside... just wanted to add that cause it sounds like this is your first one.

Yep, this is my first paint job, but i also have done TONS of research on painting lexans so i know about the inside jobs.

One more question:
With the detailing job(headlight, tailights, etc.), would the marker be the best thing? If so, would that be the last thing you would do painting wise?

Sure you could use the markers, but if you are detailing it from the inside then do headlight and tailights first.

Hope this helps and good luck.

I also got the CRX from Scale Auto, and it is shorter than the Zip wheelbase, but it will work..it'll just a look a little weird cause the wheel wells have fender flare things...so if they're not in the right place, they look a little odd, but not that bad. Also, the thing looks squished, like it got stepped on, so I'm not sure what they modeled it after. I've done some serious modifications to it, so I'll post pics when it's done. I'm interested in seeing how your's turns out.

Ya u r right about the size of it. Its alot smaller than my Skyline GTR and it looks like it may not fit as perfect as it should. Thats why i was afraid an LED setup couldn't fit with that body.
