Genius!.
Such a simple but effective way to cure a problem we have had since foamies came out.
THANKS!👍
This is crazy, my peashooter has been sitting on the bench for two years I was dreading to repaint it, you are a genius, thank you so much.
😊
Boom! Love it! Thanks for the trip bro!
Anytime my man
Thanks for the tip ! I tried it on a scratch built foamie. I just repainted my new Freewing F15 90 mm red,white and blue . I repaint all my models and this talcum powder trick works.
I paint EVERY one of my planes - this is a great tip thank you !!
Thanks for watching and comments. Great tip indeed. 😝😜🤨
You are my, and every bodies, hero right now.
Thanks my man. Share away
Great review so easy I will be doing this trick on my next plane good job☺👍👍
It’s amazing for sure
Thank you! We love our foamies and your painting masking suggestion is a big help.
I knew there was a reason I hadn't gotten to tape off my T-33 to TV-1 conversion for the next color! Thanks so much for the tip!
Just finishing up my T-33/TV-1 Jerry
Thank you for the new painting trick.

I've used Talcum Powder to flatten glossy clearcoat, never thought to try this though. I'm curious about the durability though, either way...... Pretty slick!!
I didn’t have any talcum powder and tried corn starch. Worked great. Thanks for your suggestions

Great tip ... What kind of paint works best
On epo any. I love krylon, rustoleum 2x and latex from Home Depot or Lowe’s shot through an airbrush 50/50 with water

Excellent discovery! Now my paint jobs will become less stressful.
You da man B!
You just saved my Ass, been wanting to paint tri colours (horizontal) stripes on my Airline model, RED on top, blue in the middle and red underneath a TRI Colours process, you killed it mate and thank you Sir! :-)
Thanks for the video guide dear, i see that you paint on the baby powder...i need to clean the area before painting? Thanks and have a nice day!
You can wipe it off the f you want but it’s so light you can paint right over it
@@JustPlaneCrazy ok thanks for the advice. I try to mask for paint my Al37 with the powder, many thanks for all!
I’m just getting ready to do a whole repaint and going to try to remove the old paint and because it was going to be multi colored knew I would still get the peeling. Definitely going to try this out.
Good luck
Game changer. Thanks!
I thought the same thing. Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to share away
Hey bud, we been doing this for 10yrs now....Im just kidding, Very cool to know. I've tried all the techniques you motioned and then some.Great tip Thanks.
Lol. Someone will always come out of the wood work and say that,,it’s a given. Still laughing. But it always gets my attn when I start reading it.
@@JustPlaneCrazy LOL..ya Im still laughing after writing it. There will probably be at least one guy that will say it... I'm glad you thought that was funny. thanks again for the tip.
Thank you very much for sharing this trick with other modelers . cheers from Austria
Your welcome. Don’t forget to share the channel and check me out on Instagram. Cheers mate!
Can you use acrylic airbrush paints on epp?
Yes. It’s not the paint that’s ever the issue It’s the propellant used in the cans
@@JustPlaneCrazy ah perfect what about clear coating?
I prefer water based minwax if it won’t be getting wet
@@JustPlaneCrazy I love inn the UK, unfortunately all we have is wet 😂
A great tip! Thank you for sharing. Does this also work on GfK?
Gfk?
@@JustPlaneCrazy in german: glasfaser verstärkter Kunststoff ( glass fiber reinforced plastic). A very smooth surface.
@willipreugschat thanks. Than yes
@@JustPlaneCrazy OK thanks. Will try it in the future.
Oh boy that Hawk lives on😂😂
Lol. Well kinda
wow thank you to discover this trick
Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to share.
It's great to always be learning something new,. This is great! Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been having paint peeling off my models with Tamiya masking tape. Super frustrating! I am going to experiment with this.
Recently discovered your channel sir and I'm so glad I did! I will be painting my own AL-37 here in a week or two when I get back off the road (truck driver), so this is perfectly timed. Subbed!
Thanks for watching. What scheme?
@@JustPlaneCrazy it's not my bread and butter but I do pull a lot of freight for FedEx so since that was a plane I could get up close and personal with and take pictures, I figured I would go with that livery. Waiting on my Callie graphics order. Can't wait to get her in the air!
@@supramaniac502 best of luck. It will be awesome
@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks brother! FYI, you and my son have two things in common. Your name, and your love of RC aircraft. He's just as eagerly awaiting the maiden as I am!
Very cool indeed. Gave you the thumbs up!
Thanks and thanks for watching
Holy heck, great tip, thank you!!
Thanks don’t forget to sub if you didn’t share the channel to your friends and checkout my Instagram and or Facebook official page. Thanks for watching and enjoy
Boy is that ever so slick. Why am I just seeing this now LOL. Well better late than never I guess😂
That’s true
Awesome tip!
Wow, what a game changer. I need to try this out. Thanks buddy, I guess after we can minwax to protect the paint 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You got it. Good luck with your next one
Love it! Thank you
Amazing.. Thank you!
OMG where were you 4 planes ago?! Lololol. Brilliant.
Great tip. What type of spray paint are you using on the foam?
Krylon or Rustoleum 2x work great. Check out my airliner builds on my channel
Awesome idea Brent 👊👍
Thanks for watching. Share away
Nice 👍🏾
Try that on the already peeled areas like you did with the first two pieces of tape. Do you think the results would be the same
I think on paint that’s already peeled anything will continue up to peel it up. But that wing was solid paint when I started. Every piece I tested had the same results. The engine nacelles at the end of the vid were a true at the moment test and result
That was awesome thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for watching. Don’t forget to check out my Instagram and share this vid
great tip ! I used ''Deluxe Foam Armour' to protect the paint/foam edges of the canopy, fuselage and battery hatch The problem is that it was a little tacky and would stick. Talcum powder cures the stick....
Thanks for watching and sharing your experiences.
SWEET!
Thank u
It will change your RC life!
Sweet!
Thank you.
Love it!
Thanks and thanks for watching
Great tip! Will try next time, thank you!
Awesome, can’t wait to try this out. Thank you.
Damn Brendan gone and changed the game!
Dude. I hope so. Share away
For real!
Good tip! I noticed in the test part you rubbed it over the entire area and painted right over. Does this affect how the pain sticks or change the shade?
In my testing it made no difference and absorbed it.
@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks for the info!
Please tell me what the paints are your using I like to know especially the green
It was a krylon color don’t remember exactly
I am sure it’s in the build vid somewhere
Just curious. Does the talcum powder trick work as well with brushing on paint?
There are different methods for creating lines that don’t bleed through for brushing. The powder technic is used is used to help create the line and then be able to remove the tape without pulling g up the paint under it.
@@JustPlaneCrazy Thanks. I am about to brush paint some invasion stripes on a foamy P-47 Razorback and and wondered how to do it without pulling off the existing paint with low stick tape
Doesn’t this lower the adherence of the paint sprayed on top of the talcum treated areas???
It’s such a small amount your using and really focused around the tape area not the paint area. I saw no difference in the paint that absorbed the powder
Why didn't you do it over the peeling paint like you did without the powder?
It works great thousands of people now use this technic.
Krylon fusion is hands down the best paint for these or any repaint if you can find your color. I have used it on most if not all my repaints including my military jets. Your new technique appears to work really well, I have a repaint coming my friend Ill have to give it a try!
Krylon Fusion doesn't attack the foam???
Not at all as long as it’s EPO. Pretty much ever edf made today is.
@@JustPlaneCrazy THANKS!
Rust-Oleum 2x works flawlessly as well. And it's cheaper.
Cool, this should work for my foamboard builds as well as I often use tape to strengthen control surface hinge areas and when I pull of the masking it often rips the paint off the tape over the hinge
Perfect idea. Thanks for commenting. Don’t forget to share the vid in the foam board world
@@JustPlaneCrazy What is the foam board world?
If you are part of any groups or forums or threads that deal with building foam board. Or maybe just a group of fellow builders. It helps when my channel gets spread amongst your fellow fliers. Thanks again for watching
@@JustPlaneCrazy Ah, got you, good idea, will do that
Just getting ready to paint my foam plane trying to figure out how not to peel off paint .Thank you so much.
Your gonna love it. Good luck. What are you doing a repaint on?
@@JustPlaneCrazy you know when I was younger had a hobbyzone super cub and use to fly it at the firestation.Im retired now put in 35 yrs.Im 72 but when I fly I'm just a kid again.Still have the old girl.removing the guts and rebuild her with new parts fuselodge ect.Want her orange and yellow.You think I should sand new foam parts a little.
I would not sand the foam. I use minwax poly first then primer. Then sand
@@JustPlaneCrazy ok thanks
awesome
Thank u
Great Vids just ordered the AL37 Im planning on doing the American Lines version with the older livery the natural aluminum. What paint would you recommend. Or could I possibly skin in with like the heat shrink material used to cover sail planes. Ive seen some material that would give that brushed aluminum appearance. Just an idea?
I use Rustoleum 2x. Check out the playlists on my channel for more foam painting info
Thanks dude!
Welcome
do you pull the tape off while the paint is still wet or wait until the paint is dry?
I have done both and it works perfect
@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks. good to know.
This is genius!!! I normally mask my planes then might take a couple days before i paint them. Using this method do you need to paint right away or can you apply the baby powder, mask, then wait a few days??
Thanks man!!!
Thanks for watching and don’t forget to share. What the powder is doing is perfectly coating the tape to its lowest adhesion point. I don’t think it will matter how many days you let it on there. When I pull the tape off it feels like a post it note.
very cool
Thanks
WOW!!!!
So why not just wipe powder over the whole plane then , since it will not harm the paint ?
No point in doing anywhere u aren’t masking off
@@JustPlaneCrazy
But I do a lot of masking
Then go for it. I seen no difference in paint where there was and wasn’t powder
This has got to be one of the RC tips of the year. And how the hell did you know that I stuck my blue tape to my shirt before I used it???😂
Lol we all have. I needed to find something better. For sure this has been a game changing trick.
I’m new to the painting game, do you remove the tape always right after you finish painting, or is it better to let it dry for a bit to avoid rubs & streaks? Thx for info
Either way works
Off the subject a bit .... but which airline has lime green planes ?
Custom build for this customer. His daughter builds 🦖 for the likes of people like Disney
I just posted this in RC Foam Fliers on FB.
Thank you. Sharing is always appreciated
Talk about that super healthy cornfield in the back.
lol. Yeah. We have a few around here
I need help painting a plane do you paint them for folks ?
I have done many projects for guys but the time I get into them far exceeds what I can charge. So I no longer do it. I am now focusing on building some of my own projects
@@JustPlaneCrazy okay I totally understand, any advice on what kind of paint and where I can find them I ordered some graphics from Callie , I want to paint it as a Southwest Airlines any advice would be appreciated.
I have done many vids on answering those questions. He is a link to one set of playlists. Jurassic Park AL37
ua-cam.com/play/PLwAtpGIpRcU7TeHlLbKw7gm9XNsWC54eS.html
I also have the toy story one and the avengers on on my channel. I like using Rustoleum 2x. Available at Home Depot
@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks a lot for the info, I am going to start getting those things to make it work not sure how long it will take but I will start the journey as soon as today .
The more time you take the better it will look
how paint balsa model planes with cover paper
Actually doing a build now. Eventually that will be one
I just tried the baby powder trick and pulled off all of my paint as if I had stuck on duct tape! Very disappointed, but to each their own. Maybe I need to rub it in more, I don’t know.
Yeah not sure. I refinish all my models this way with no issues. I can’t tell you how many hundreds of others have tried it with amazing success. Try it again. Maybe you just have a really poorly painted plane prior to you getting it. Not sure 🤔
Thanks you saved me a headache
Glad to hear. Thanks for watching
Sorry but it is a good idea however I would remove the baby powder fro. The area that is being painted, by leaving the baby powder your messing with the moleculer adhesion, ie the paint may stick for a little bit but won't be on there forever
I get what your saying but saw zero difference in the area that was or wasn’t painted. The paint absorbs what’s there and it stuck just fine. It’s not like your coating them whole plane with scoops of powder. You focus on the area that’s getting tape. Multiple planes, multiple tests
Wonder if this could be done with corn starch... for less of the fresh baby smell...
Lol. Give it a try
Someone else commented and said cornstarch works too.
WOOOOOO HOOOOO!! 🤠🤠🤠🤠🤠
I just ordered my AL 37 I am so intimidated about not being able to paint it .
Don’t be Acetone is your friend. The paint will come off if needed. Thanks for watching
@@JustPlaneCrazy thanks sir.
sticking the tape to your shirt once before you stick it on your plane does the same thing ;)
Try it. You will be surprised in the difference between the two
@@JustPlaneCrazy my preferred method for a clean cut line is to put down a little bit of the base coat first over the tape's edge to seal it, then add your stripe and peel. That makes the perfect cut line.
🤯👍
😂that’s Awesome!!
Please sell me that Jurassic Park AL or are you willing to do another one? I am being serious.
It’s worth discussing. That build was for a fellow member and the vids will be released over the next three weeks. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to share away
OH shite....! I have just stripped a 1.2m p-51 about 2 weeks ago...
🤬
Lol. A day late and a dollar short😝😜🤪
@@JustPlaneCrazy not happy bro..! Really wish I had waited until I saw your video.. 😳🇦🇺
Dude. Wait until the next paint unveiling at the end of this month. Your REALLY REALLY gonna wish u waited. It’s so impressive I scare myself.
@@JustPlaneCrazy keep me informed bro..! 🇦🇺🤘✊
The UA-cam name deserves a subscribe from me 😂🤦♂️
