    No, is that a thing? I’ve never heard of doing that, tho I’m not worried about my paint sticking

              Thanks dood. I ended up just ordering a seaking 160. I really just wanted something that I don’t need to worry about and if I ever decide I need more motor or whatever I’ll be good. Besides it was only $5 more than the 120

                I got a 3630 2070kv I'm going to throw in my gsx when ever I get around to finishing it. I just finished a mini sniper this week awesome little hull.

                  No freakin way! Now that is a sexy windscreen!! How did you do the trim tape? Did you print it, or use a sharpie?
                  Also is that psychedelic blue a photo effect or a mind bending decal?
                  Amazing finish work!

                    thanks man! unfortunately the purple is the reflection of my TV off the paint lol.

                    as for the window, you guessed it. sharpie. i painted and cleared the black, then silver automotive pinstripe and of course, the sharpie bolts haha

                      Turn fin.
                      So, i cut a piece of clear vinyl and stuck that down first, then some plumbers putty around the screws and mount. the holes i drilled are tight enough to be waterproof anyways, but ya know, more precautioning.

                              What a glorious job on the paintwork. Looks brilliant.
                              See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

                                It's not a thing when you have the painting skills you do.

                                Awesome job sir.
