HI!... I started working on the TEAM car the last few days.

I have a buddy that owns a powder coating business, and I'm going to get him to redo the chassis black again.

I have a sand blaster in my shop that I'm running fine glass bead through. I glass beaded the chassis, motor cage and front support.

HI!... Well I picked up too large glass jars with plastic lids from the dollar store tonight. Also grabbed some aluminum foil. Picked up a 26 watt UV light from a local pet store. Man for only 26 watts this thing is super bright.

Just currently soaking all the white plastic RC-10 parts in a container full of CLR kitchen/bathroom cleaner. I want to make sure the parts are super clean before I put them in the Peroxide. Probably going to soak them for 2-3 days. I'll post up pics when their done.

HI!... Well I let the parts soak in CLR kitchen/bathroom cleaner for a few hours and then I scrubbed them clean with a fine scrub brush. This is how they turned out :

Off the car :



After cleaning with CLR :



Then I dropped them in 3% Hydrogen Peroxide under a 26 watt UV light with reflective aluminum foil.
