Default Zip Zap, SuperDave style

Ok, I know I didn't do the greatest quality job but I'm still happy with the results.

Zip Zaps are really small remote control cars, about the size of a Hot Wheels.

If your Camaro had sperm, they'd look like that little Zip Zap.

Good one!

I love the pic of the Zip Zap in front of the headlight.

www.radioshack.com has them. They are actually made for and sold by RadioShack. The one I've got they don't make anymore (the blue Camaro SS).

Looks good.

I have a white one, that I am wanting to paint Hugger Orange to match my car. How did you paint it without mesing up the details, like the headlights, taillights, glass, etc?

I am not much of a painter and I have looked at this thing, over and over, and see no way of even masking off something that small.

Thanks,

Chris

Well I used electrical tape to mask it off (it doesn't stick as much as masking tape). I was not extremely succesful painting over the existing paint though so I tried a new method at the suggestion of a guy at the hobby shop. To get the old paint off I soaked it in 100% alcohol for a while so the short answer is I did actually mess up the headlights, etc. and had to repaint them.

Sorry to hear that. Those things stock on it look really good, and I hate to mess them up. How did you paint those details so small then?

A nice small brush, a steady hand and a WHOLE lot of patience, let me tell you. I'm sure there is a better way and I probably did it the hard way but I really suck at painting.

Crap, I REALLY suck at painting. Oh well, its so small, maybe I will just leave the details alone. But, that might look like crap. Need to find someoen with a steady hand.

Thanks again
