Hi brother! Yeah it’s a little bit of a daunting task. I remember regretting it when I first started because I would take a step back and realize I have to take apart the whole track lol. But the look once finished is worth it in my opinion. Not to mention the extra grip.

I think painting a track has to be a thought before you assemble the final layout on a couple tabletops! Great idea!

@@lindseyangell986 agreed 100% In my case although I didn’t have any intentions of painting the track when I built and assembled everything. It was an idea that grew on me as time went on and after seeing the amazing work done by Boone. In a ideal world yes you’re right, it would be nice to paint first and build after. But if there’s someone like me, Boone or anyone one else that painted afterwords, it is doable. Some work is involved but nothing crazy. Thanks for watching! Cheers✌🏼

@@lindseyangell986I’m still in the process of picking a final layout for my track. I’ve already made a few design elements inside of a couple of curves that I know will be staying. I used foam board and made my own shoulders instead of buying them from Carrera. This method is giving me the opportunity to make different types of curbs, rumble strips, gravel traps, etc. On one curve in particular, I made the shoulder on the outside lane SUPER slick, which takes away the advantage of wall sliding along the outside lane. I can’t wait to get it finalized and paint my track to match. I’m taking inspiration from COTA and will be doing a swoopy red, white, and blue with stars theme all over my curbs, shoulders, and runoff areas.

The track that Marty Ford has is not my goal, only something that later will be for any kids, young adults to play on…

Thanks for watching ✌🏼

Hiya Dafingers! Thanks for the comment buddy and thanks for watching! ✌🏼

Mineral Spirits is a great option too. Let me know how it goes bother! Cheers and happy painting!

Hi AJ, yes sir, tough to see I guess in the video but they were masked off as well

😂 ohhh I think you can haha. Thanks for the tip again. Adding the Krylon really added more bite to the track

@@MPSlotCar no problem 😉 buddy

Hi, I just used the painters tape and made sure to cover the entire sensor. I left some extra and pushed in around the sensor using something thin like the Slot It Allen key that comes with their cars.

I use some black Acrylic paint, and apply it using a brush, some areas with a damp microfibre cloth, and a rear axel from a car with tires dipped in paint to make some of markings.

@@MPSlotCar Awesome, thanks for the info! Keep the videos coming, mate!

Hi Shane, I got the Krylon from Lowes.

Hi, yes the track surface has more grip so mission accomplished. I’ve now only been using stock tires and Paul Gage. I only use the silicones at the club track now. Reason being the silicones like to clean the track and remove any added grip that has been put down by the rubber or urethane. I did run one car with silicones on when I first put the track back together, it was moving! With any car you can feel the difference the grip levels. You really feel the difference with non mag cars, there’s just a little more bite in the corners.

Hi Oscar, for something like the pitlane?

Hi Tom, I personally just used the Carrera one personally but I know it’s not the greatest/most user friendly. There’s a few free softwares out there. I know Sunday Slot Cars uses one that seems to work. I think Slot track pro might be the one but it’ll be best to checkout Sundays Channel

I agree with you Tom, for all the same reasons.

Good eye 🏒 lol

Didn’t like the white lines on the Carrera track. Nothing wrong with it, to each their own I guess. I personally wanted to experiment and try to make a more realistic looking surface, plus add a little grip.
