yo on this week of kpop r/c we paint paint the e30, gotta make sure you got
the right protection, YO, welcome to kpop RC the channel where I make sick videos
of scale models pretty much anything that's got a remote
so don't forget to sub up for giveaways and sick RC content, yo my goodness
this actually really needs a recap because I'm having trouble
remembering what the hell's going on alright we started with an e30 BMW
touring it's a wagon these beautifully engineered German cars are the darling
if you can find one that's rust free there's something so awesome about being
utilitarian with your cool models,
make a grandpa grocery-getter into a wild beast drifter, how about it. first we
started with a d9 bulldog chassis which was heavily modified with my 3d printer
what's cool about this chassis is that it has shock towers in the appropriate
places like real life you know built the cage we added a rear end and we're
doing a scale engine, OH! I can't forget about the Bobs the breakout Bobs
if you have no idea what I'm talking about then I suggest you watch the
previous episodes of the scale drift project and if you've got some time on
your hands as I know a lot of us do check out the previous scale drift
builds
sweet! I already washed this thing, I washed it thoroughly, you know lay on a
few coats of this let's see how it goes first time I'm using the liquid mask
stuff so alright okay I'm gonna break it up into sections. hot delicious tip to
apologize to your girlfriend for poisoning her due to the paint fumes
bake a cheesecake, yep. the fast mask took an incredible amount of time to dry so
maybe bake two cheesecakes
it almost looks black but I only painted the front I also didn't leave the silver
because it always looks so badass on BMWs when they have the like racing
front grille that's like not Chrome also I painted the black behind the European
license plate trunk lid on the stock ones they're black some
people paint them the body color but that this is the way BMW did it from the
factory. okay so when you're painting these lexan bodies it is key to do the
darkest colors first black trim always goes first so that's what I do here
first I used fast masks fast masks to cover the whole body I washed the body
which is super important with dishsoap I didn't use an abrasive scrubber you can
actually scratch the lexan and the windows will become kind of cloudy and
foggy with scratches you don't want that you do that because these molds they use
this like oil so that this piece of lexan can pop off easily but that mold
release is basically in oil so you want to make sure there's no residual oil on
your lexan before you start painting that's why I also highly recommend you
get the polycarbonate body cleaner to clean any overspray anything that lands
on the lexan where it shouldn't if it spills or leaks where the masking tape
is and leaves a little run this and a q-tip will clean all that up I've never
done this before I've never peeled the fast mask off so now I'm gonna
painstakingly remove everywhere that I need to paint red I hope I don't bug it up but if
I do bug it up, I have another one of these. what's cool
about this one is I cut the bumper out because like I am gonna run this body
bumper list so you can see all the intercooler and all the kind of inner
workings that I spent so much time building I might also do the front hood
opening clamshell like like the front nose like it does stock or I might just
leave it naked or leave it open or add magnets but I can pop it on if I want to
that would be cool but what's cool about this is this is gonna be sort of the
showcase body showcases the engine bay I may also if I can find one because I
can't seem to find any more backfire kits I may have made them too famous and
check it out up here the video where I put a backfire unit on Adam LZ the Adam
LZ build that may have made it too popular I think we're like two million
views and anytime that becomes in stock on RC mart it goes like I don't even how
cool would it be to have a hood exit exhaust that backfires because like you
know boostedboiz styles or whatever that would be sick
things didn't turn out I thought that maybe I would use the mask because it
has like perfectly straight lines and I can't cut perfectly straight lines with
an exacto knife so I decided to use that but as it turns out this mask is cut
much smaller than the actual windscreen so I had to add some tape to fill out
the holes which sucks because I thought I for this project I wouldn't have to
use tape but whatever man sometimes you gotta use what you know. if you dudes
want to have like all the ultimate success painting fucking legs and bodies
every time you mask whatever we're gonna paint next you need to just make sure
make absolutely positively sure that there is no color bleed on any of these
panels if you didn't mask this completely because you're only spraying
a little part over here check every panel because overspray is an itch and it
will ruin your gosh darn paint job these are the tips that I'm picking up I'm by
no means an expert there are tons of people online who do this thing much
better than I can and I'm learning so if you guys have any tips leave them in the
comments below help each other out cuz like that's what
this hobby should be all about right it's like helping each other get better
at what we do all right bright red, yo what I don't
show you is to get a really bright color always back it with white after you're
finished painting your bright color make sure to give a few coats of white paint
that will ensure the brightest brilliant color now we let it off gas for like a
few hours so you should probably be using this paint in the well-ventilated
area but if you're not now's the time to let the animals out in the backyard also
maybe give the girl girlfriend a gas mask stings the nostrils
I don't so now we're gonna clean it I mean these are all gonna be covered with
vinyl like I'm gonna use vinyl to like outline all this stuff so if it looks a
bit how you doing we're gonna clean up all of these like rough edges with thin
vinyl it's actually looking pretty dope and on camera it's freaking dough anyway
onward
what kind of scale project would this be if i didn't built some kind of rear diffuser
rear defuser looks bad fricken ace.
oh and don't worry, I eventually print it out of black
yo that's it for this episode of kpop RC stay tuned next episode we put some
final touches on the turbo and the valve cover for this build also we deck the
body out with vinyl and we reveal the other body which is super cool but it's
looking pretty glorious I have to admit oh yeah oh yeah the winner
