    Thank you my friend.

    FYI...you CANNOT dye the type of plastic Tamiya uses on these and other chassis. It wouldn't take the dye and it warped it so it was unusable. I had to buy a replacement chassis parts tree and paint it with paint that is suitable for plastics. I used Rustoleum 2 in 1 primer / paint. Much much cheaper than Tamiya paint for plastics.

    I finished removing all the wrinkled paper decals and ugly front brush guard. Then I put some amsoil mudslinger on it to shine it up.
