Thanks bigdog-about 90/10… I’ll use an old header card from a parts package as a guide, but only use it 100% for weird spots I can’t get a steady hand… I’ve got some artistic ability, but have always sucked at trying to draw in 3 quadrants.. so when I can’t find anywhere to prop my hand-I’ll bust out a header card FTW.

That's a good idea! I had to put down pinstripe tape to get the scallops I drew out, simple as they are & trace against the tape, then remove.

I’ve been super close to doing that SEVERAL times, and just always end up going this route as it’s yielded solid results so far. My luck-I’d end up pulling up the exterior film when I removed the tape..

I bought the low stick green automotive pinstripe tape & barely press it down then trace & remove. So far so good. Found it on ebay for 8 bucks. 5 different rolls/sizes

That’d be the ONLY tape I’d use. And then be sure as shiit to always pull TOWARD the edge of the body.. Hell-I’ve got protective film lifting on the nitro body as we speak.. That’s what I get for trimming prior to paint. Sure makes for a cleaner easier finish though imo.. Especially when you’ve got eleventybillion holes to make for the nitro stuff..

You spray the liquid mask? My HVLP says it's 4.35psi & I thought that's not enough. It was plenty! Used a 1.7mm tip, needed I think a 1.3mm.

Replaced the rear shock tower on the Sludge. Tore up the M2C carbon shock tower, replaced it with a M2C aluminum one. Killed a CHNL 6s brick (cell 6 0.00v), ordered a new one. still got 45 minutes out of it.

Getting close to finished with the bathroom, this is the first coat of mud. There are a few things we have changed like moving to a shower instead of a tub, made the wall cabinet opening bigger, updated wiring since we could get to all of it, new shower valve, etc. Working on it everyday since we started the tearout a week ago. The wifey helps but it's been mostly just me doing it, and I ain't no pro.

I ain't no pro.

Even the pros had to start somewhere.

That’s cause his wife is a pro but she refuses to help much..

 

[ScaleJunkie]

Don't get me wrong I've done my fair share of drywall, It just always seems like it takes forever to do something like this. I'll admit she is better at taping than I am, I hate slingin mud.

I installed the Ram Jam motor and center diff mount on my Infraction 6s. It's so easy to set the pinion/spur mesh.

Tryin to get it done as fast as I can while still doing it right. One bathroom in the house, so it will never be a "good time" to do it. Fiberglass tub developed a crack so it was a no choice situation. Steel shower pan replacing it.

Another turf race this Sunday, gluing up some new rubber !!! Then redo the diff and throw the truck on the setup station to make sure it’s all dialed in !

Looking really good! Lots of work! Really think about the color so you don't have to tear out drywall again!
