Change colors

Post by DOG »

Hello. The wife been working in the woods blazing a trail for my quad. A section is done and I've been trying it out. I running into a little problem trying to find that little sucker in the woods when I crash. I wanted to paint the quad orange but they only had pink. Black wasn't cutting it so this is what my quads looks like now with 65mm props and a different color for the time being. It's a little bit easier to find.

Noise maker and flashing lights. If you're gonna use these micros outside either gotta keep them close, have a spotter, or modify them to be findable. :)

I thinik I would have opted for neon green. :)

Good morning all. Well I'm not liking the color pink on the whoop. It's not bright enough so I got some orange spray paint but my question is how do I remove the old paint? I've tried rubbing alcohol and no luck. I'm not sure if gasoline will take it off or nail polish remover? Any idea anyone. I appreciate the feed back.

Yes sir on leave it alone :) . Anything I use can melt the plastic. I even try some stuff call goof, no luck either. I'm just going to trim it out with white paint on the edges and call it done.
