MRCE mod question.

[TK5144[TK]]

I am considering the MRCE. Has anyone done the ears, teeth, brow, tube stripes WITHOUT repainting the whole thing?

Hi Derek (great name btw)

 

My MR hasn't been painted, just modded.

 

I'll sort some pics from one of the guys at the UK Garrison (dazb) his MR is awsome

Hey Guys

 

Great names! LOL

 

Watch out when you take the stock stripes off. If you use a solvant to remove them you will remove the paint.

I didn't realize the mrce was painted but it is and resulted in a full repaint for me.

Be really careful if you don't want to repaint...I didn't care either way, but I wanted to see if I could handle with care my first time around, and I didn't have to repaint my first one.

 

2nd one, tho...I might just do it to see what it looks like by my hand...

 

Good luck!

There was a thread on here about a MRCE redo that was done without painting. It's possible, you just have to find something of a similar color to fill in the front seam gap.

 

I think this is the thread -----

I did mine without repainting (much). I had to paint where I filled the crack, but it did not need a total repaint. When you redo the stripes, use magic eraser. It will take those stripes right off. (scary stuff!)

I used magic eraser and I could still see a ghost image of the stripes so I started scrubing like crazy.

Where the left tube stripe was its all tan colored in the pic. It took the white paint right off.

I was just gonna repaint the frown till that happened.
