Body kits on Tamiya 350Z

[geofroley]

How do I attach this body kit: http://www.scaleautostyle.com/350zN.php To the Tamiya Z?? Sorry for asking so many questions lately, I'm just trying to make this thing perfect. Also, how should I prep this for painting?

You cut away the original front and sides then add resin parts in their place. Wing and rear quarter spats affix directly to the body, I advise glueing these prior to painting, just leave off the top half of wing and paint seperately.

Good tips for working with resin here - http://mysite.freeserve.com/kitforms...s/working.html

Sweet thanks.

Will I need to prime the body kits and the body? If so, do you got any brands that you reccomend?

if you would have read the page Chris give to you, you would see that you need to use a primer...

Painting Resin

Resin is a very versatile modelling medium that will accept any form of paint topcoat but it is vital to use the correct primer & undercoat to begin with.

I did I must have missed that. I was skimming through it. So what brand of primer should I get?

Alright I've decided on Hycote auto acrylic white primer. Any online shops where I can get this?

Try a search on Primer, there was a lot of discution about that here.

The Best primer is Tamiya White one, but it's a bit expensive (but missing a paint job is so sad, it worth the extra 3$ or 4$)

Alright. I think Tower Hobbies has Tamiya stuff so I'll look there. Should I apply primer to the entire body as well?
