Then used mirror chrome to back it and sponge it to get it marble like, the mirror chrome messed with the red vino that was all ready dry, must be something in the mirror chrome to of made it react
Marble effect turned out great though, with some selectively placed stickers it should hardly be noticeable
I have seen a similar paint issue before (one of mine) I did exactly what you have done....I discovered the marble effect needs to be done on the last layer of the color and before backing with the chrome
Yours turned out better than mine did though, and I think yours will be fine, where mine was a train wreck and made its way to the bin like it was powered by a 3 turn brushless
I used some blue tac on top of the magnet and will stick to the bottom of the shell. You have to place them carefully thought because it will always want to fight the final mounting position if its off a bit,
I used the velcro on the stealth mounts and you only need a little bit, its pretty strong.
I have always used a white out liquid paper pen, place a spot on each body post and line up the body...the wet liquid paper leaves a dot on the inside of the body to show alignment, but Steph's blue tack idea might work as well or better
Came up with a great idea to mount the magnets up perfectly
Put some baking paper down and Chuck the other magnet on over the top, then a blob of shoe goo and then I can slide a bit to get into place, worked perfectly
Shoe goo didn't stick to the baking paper at all, remove paper and it lines up nice
