Inspire customization thread

Thanks Benji for taking time to offer a detailed
description of the body removal. Once again ..... that is one impressive Inspire.

I used duracoat electric lime. I got the white but didn't use it.

Hi. I ordered a couple cans of orange blaze. Any special surface preparation to the shiny white plastic on the inspire? Or any other tips you might have to add for a successful application.
Thanks. Dennis
I used goo be gone and let it dry, if you are using Plexi Dip and are putting the screws back in make sure to use some vegetable oil or it will grab and pull the paint off, it sucks because you will need to peel and repaint lol

Thanks. I'm stil a little confused over the battery painting procedure. Did you spray over the clear plastic LED green lights rather than taping them off? And the lights are bright enough to illuminate through the layer of paint?
 
Yes I sprayed over them, you can see the green outline. I like the way it looks, you can peel the plexi or flexi carefully off them if you want. Pretty easy
 
On a very positive note, after taking this apart an learning a little bit on how its built, I feel confident it is built pretty well. Very tight makes me a bigger fan lol
 
i just made some minnor non-permanent customization using 1:144 aircrafts models decals

One more question about the bottom trim piece. You mentioned you used a heat gun to remove it. I see that the back of the trim piece has tabs on it. So is the function of the heat gun to make the piece more plyable and easy to pull off. And then how easy is it to put back on? Thanks
 
I bought some Blaze Green Plasti Dip. My goal is to aid in keeping LOS. With that in mind, has anyone painted any other parts of the Inspire. The white plastic cover isn't really visible from the ground. Thoughts on painting any parts of the landing gear?
 
im thinking using yellow acrylic tape for the legs Visibility and looks
