| Paint / mufflerBrian, I used a Norton brand of masking tape that I bought from an auto paint store, I think 3M would have something similar which would be just as good.
If I remember rightly though, I think the polycarb paints used on the inside of car shells has more of a tendancy to bleed than the type of paint you'd use for the outside of a canopy. I used auto acrylics with a flexible additive. I paid a heap for the right gear and although the job isn't flawless I really learnt a lot. I try and tape immediately prior to spraying and also give a final press around the masking tape to make sure it's sitting flat. I do spray pretty heavy and I didn't have any run problems with this canopy.
The muffler is a Yusa, from what I've seen it looks very similar to some other brands, especially a couple of 90 mufflers I've seen, though of course a little smaller.
Hope that helps,
Greg |
