<p>im gonna keep this polite. **** off....seriously, im yet to hear an american say canadians are stupid on this board...hmmm lets say thats a point for us americans. not saying all canadians are bad cuz that would be *****ing about what im *****ing about, generalizing. i mean i could say all canadians are stupid but thats dropping to YOURS AND ONLY YOUR PATHETIC LEVEL. i mean, seriously now, if you think america is the only place you find stupid people...think again, theyre all over. and if you were so smart mmike, youd see that it was said any HOBBY store so if you cant figure out what a hobby store is then i dont know what to say. sorry to anyone who had to read this but ive scene him bash americans b4 and its rather childish.<p>now, i have a question, how many mils of paint can the plastic tails hold? what did you scratch the surfaces to? 1200-1500 or no scratch at all? from my expirience i almost always start out with a slight scratch on my surface, then when dry i wet sand it down and buff so its smooth. i want mine all red but with the paint design i have now and dont want to cake the paint on too thick. thnx.<p>[ August 07, 2003: Message edited by: ltjrunner ]<p>[ August 07, 2003: Message edited by: ltjrunner ]<hr></blockquote>
Agreed...
but yes some Americans have alluded to Canadians being stupid on the UBB.
MMIKE...thanks for embarrassing the rest of us.

Here's a thread I found on mx6.com of an mx-6 that used the candy apple red: http://www.mx6.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=61801&highlight=taillights

the lens can hold as much paint as you want on it. i never scratched mine up or anything, but it might be a good idea to promote adhesion because the upper part was chipping just a LITTLE bit. oh and you should do at least 4-5 coats because the first 2 coats (which should be light) will look like you're messing up, then when you get the coats piled on there you'll see your handywork shine.
