Two days and 3 cans of paint later, we are done with painting!
With the overspray film removed, this is our end result. Not bad if I do say so myself!
Now we begin with the basic decaling. Again, this took me forever to decide on what I wanted on the body without going overkill. I've got some more decals coming as well, so this is the start of the bodies final look
Due to the body being designed for a wider and longer Slash, I was concerned with how long it would last with a 12 pound monster truck going through heavy bashing sessions. To help strengthen body, I decided to attempt to strengthen area's with Gorilla tape as a makeshift fiberglass coating. I plan on then filling in the various nooks and crannies with Shoe Goo to make the body more bash proof
I am also pondering the idea of "tinting" the windows to give it a bit more of a sleek and finished look rather as well as painting of the truck chassis itself. This however will be dependent on my time and finances. As is stands
"Frostbyte II"
is now 90% complete with just some final last minute details and ideas to decide on. After that, this project will be finished, a photography session will take place and I will have the first vids of it up in action! Hang tight, the end is almost here!
