MF-ROB Posted November 9, 2013 Author Share Posted November 9, 2013 I'm courious why do you clean it first? You have to wash it to remove traces of mould release agent so the paint will stick to it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractorman810 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 would have gone for the 2wd 690, may yet, as I fixed it on with the axel mount system as per real ones, don't think I glued it on, but the paint did stick so it may not slide out as I hoped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
