Slash 4x4 Asphault Oval Racer

I have a HF near my house. Do you know how many times I've held that very one in my hands thinking about buying it? But I pass everytime because I'm not sure how to use one, or if that one is good, etc. I have no doubt that I would be able to do a decent job using one. I just don't know HOW to use one. Gravity fed... so.. that means what? I hook it up to my air compressor, dial down the pressure, and spray?

That also makes me wonder... what about a Wagoner House Painting type spray gun? I have one, NIB that is nice, and I've never used. I think you can dial down the pressure. Would one of those work?

LOL, NO. The Wagner will not work. It's basically a firehose compared to what you really need. Yes, the little gun is that simple to use.

Gravity fed basically means the gun uses Gravity to get the material to the head to be atomized. The normal guns you see are pressure fed, the cup on top saves materials because the higher pressures aren't needed and wasted paint goes into the air.

Wow bondo,I have worked in my dads body shop my whole life using PPG paint and I never knew it stuck to lexan! I'm definately going to try this with some left over candy pearl red from a mustang we did,should look bad ass!--josh

BASE COATS ONLY ! Single stage Urethane and Enamels will not work.
I would also recomend useing some "Bulldog" adhesion promoter

Congratulations

The Gentleman who took second owns one of our local hobbys shops and is a excellent driver, I'm happy and a bit surpsrised I lapped him twice ?

I also had the fastest lap

Great job J . BTW watcha think about the JACOS on my TEN?

[Bondonutz]

Thanks B !

They'd look and handle great on a 10 !
I wish I could get some video, these foams let the truck take incredible turns at speed, but wear fast depending how rough the durface is your running on. If they wear fast you may think twice about buying a second pair at nearly $30.00 each pr. You'd also have to becareful with not having a slipper clutch and hogging out the 12mm hub.
