Can I save this shell
I have a 210 original shell that came with a roller.
Its badly painted white and some parts have really been missed, althought most of it has been touched by at least a little white. Is re painting the inside with reds and greens goint to show through at all? I know it might darken a bit on the thicker white areas. Can I thin the paint thats already there so some other colours will show? Thinking maybe acetone lightly with a rag or something? Im thinking Ill mask the windows again and give it a bit of a rattler fade with a couple of colours to see if it does anything. and maybe doing the window stripes will help out |
save yourself the grief and just buy a new shell.
either way, don't rub acetone onto a shell! |
If you REALLY don't want to spent money on a new shell... paint it on the outside... or tape it, do some stickerbombing, something that'll make you forget what Frankenstein lies underneith your customizations? :p

Personally, I'd go for the rat look. Make it look intentionally rough, random decals etc. onto a winner.

Acetone on a shell = bad idea!
I had a clear shell, it was pretty old, it had some tough glue marks on the shell and a few other bits of residue, I used a tiny amount of acetone on rag, It pretty much instantly melted the shell in about 10secs! Lighter fluid, Or brake degreaser works, I use the break cleaner to get rid of any grease etc... But seriously just get a new shell, You could spend alot of time messing with it for it too look rough! |
white spirit worked for me and didn't make the shell cloudy (phat bodie shell) just incase others use different lexan
|
doesn't dot 5.1 do a pretty good job on paint? |
Getting a new one isn't a problem, I ended up doing a 3 stripe pink orange green on the inside, some of that colour came through the white but not really enough as I would have liked as the white was pretty thick in places.
It turned out okish and I put on a few black and white stickers so its not too bad. Ill post a pic later |
