Do u need to use a special tool to kit these so the paint doesn't come off

I used a deep socket and it worked well. Really good lugs though but only down side is they fade very fast.

if your not careful the paint will nick off when your putting them on, but it doesn't matter because in 2 months they will have faded to a light pinkish. save your money and either buy a can of plasti-dip and do them once they are already on or get some good metal ones and powder coat them. i changed mine back to silver after the first month or so because they looked like trash.

No. You have to use some kind of adhesive. I used contact cement (sprayed on)

Yes, you do have to mix the paints. No big deal at all. Equal parts of each. I use just a little bit with even amounts and mix with a toothpick. Just a small amount will last. Also, I have an eye dropper and add 1 drop of water to mix in when it starts to dry out.

They should come off without any issue as long as the paint under was in good condition and was not painted right before you out it on.

You would have to paint them yourself. It only comes with the one set of options.

No they do not... I purchased a painting kit along with mine.... The kit does detail the camp pattern and how the model could be painted. For the most part, the entire model is dark gray with a few pieces which are light gray.

I did not sand mine down and they were fine. I did use TSP, rinsed well and then used windex to get any leftover residue. So far paint has adhered very well. The brush that comes with the kit is amazing but I used an artist brush to go around the hinges so I didn't have to take off doors.

Extra tools are not necessary.... However very careful attention must be paided to the instructions... one step at a time. Mine were assembled by a gifted cabinet maker... and it took well over an hour... it came out very well and looked a lot better than the cost warrented. Marian

No they require assembly. The tool is included. Easy process but directions are not a huge help.

I have not used any type of finish on mine. I haven't found that they need one.

no they do not - if you want to decorate with them you will need to cut the tips

Yes, you dont need any special tools. You will need a few door panel plastice clips also available through Amazon.

Probably not. If you try to peel them off using a tool or some sort of scraper, you risk that scratching the paint. These things are super secure. There really is no delicate way to peel them off.

At least glue. I did not realize that the model needed this and did not give the model as a gift because the child was too young to work at this level. The model does not say what types of paints are needed. So I would have to say yes. You will need to buy the glue and some paints.

No you have to have a spray gun.. Remember it's lacquer paint and it doesn't harden i sanded mine completely off and used a urethane paint like i should have in the first place. This was a waste of money.. Go to The Coating Store.com

It depends on how detailed, and how much work you would like to put into it. But basics: sandpaper, screwdriver, an Allen wrench (if it didn't come with it already. I have had this kit for a year now so I'm fuzzy if it did or not) wood glue, a clamp, a cloth to cover clamp, a rubber mallet and maybe a square ruler. If you want to paint it than stain the wood, painters tape in two widths (wide and small). Essentially it's up to you! That's why I love guitar kits.

I have not tried to remove it, but typically they come off without removing paint if you warm with a hair dryer and peel off.
