What is involved when changing the color of an X-1? Is it as simple as painting 3 body pieces? Thanks! |

Actually 4 pieces, but yes, that simple. i have two different sets, one red, one yellow and soon to get a black. |

Yeah, you can just paint them no biggie. but make sure you get a good painter, that knows about painting Plastics... If not the paint will crack and peel... There is a certain base coat that will adhear better to plastics... Enjoy |

yep- and surface prep is key on these materials. essentially any decent catalyzed primer will eliminate 'craze' and 'carckle', however, you need a nicely scuffed/cleaned surface for tenacity, more so than with steel. |
