Pretty good! Is this an rc influence? Usually used to seal servos/electronics. Did you use the spray can?

I think that makes it look more rugged, like a car meant to take more of a beating, not all fancy show car that sits in a garage and is badged daily driven lol.

I'm also not a fan of blacked-out tail lights, but the PlastiDip on there makes it look so dull. You should just get a can of VHT Nightshades and re-do that if you really want the blacked-out look.

Thanks for the advice I think your right !

Radio controlled, I meant like the nitro rc and off road electric. Like a T-maxx from Traxxas. Dipping the electronic components to seal everything keeps you from frying any components, or supposedly lol.

I see yeah just dip and hang, keeps it smooth without having to worry about how you are spraying.

I know, you can like change it easier than using enamel and so much cheaper, but it's always matte lol.

Good job though!

You're welcome! Yeah it's pretty handy just dipping and hanging. I used it to dip my HID relay to keep it from crapping on me since it was in front of the front left wheel without weather gaurds and it worked very well.
