I've completed the cut and the sanding of the body sides of my BBX and now they are ready to be painted. In cutting them I've removed the portion of lexan roughly shown in yellow because many times, in watching the car, they appear s bit precarious to me.
To fix the problem occurred with the dye of the new rims set for my Tamiya BBX I've decided to spray them with the Tamiya Ps-27 I've started do use in my lexan bodies from a while.
Neon yellows wheels match very well my last colors choiche and are usefull to spot my cars on the grass.
Painting the wheel is a solution that don't like but in this case I tried to save them to the awful yellow reached with dye: another fail.
I've sprayed them with a fine primer and than with the yellow but the result reminds me most "Jurassic Park" than a race car of the good old days.
Well my BBX rims were ready to by dyed so I did it!
It have been the first time for me (and da last) and I well prepared all with the maximum accuracy.
To be sure to avoid the plastic to touch the hot pot walls I used a threaded bar and cooking string to keep them in the boiling water.
After almost half an hour of simmering in the hot water my four wheels turned out in a not solid dark shaded neon yellow.
I guess that three mistakes have been done: I havent deep whased the rims before starting to dye them, starting with much low water temperature after boiled it, ending with adding much diye in the attempt to save the savable.
