Anyone got any tips on reapplying clear coat? #rccar #rccars #vanlifediaries #mission1pro #gopro
Headlights glowing, a miniature white camper charges down a rocky path towards the camera. The bumps get bigger than it can handle: it tips, rolls and ends up on its roof. Wheelie Yellow's accompanying question is rather more concerned with the paintwork: "Anyone got any tips on reapplying clear coat?"
This is remote-controlled van life, with two cartoon-like figures behind the windscreen and no human occupants to worry about. The little vehicle is the centre of Wheelie Yellow's adventures, and the creator says they built it themselves.
The Short drew roughly 147,000 views in eleven hours, putting it well ahead of the channel's usual opening pace. It follows other dryly titled motoring mishaps, including a suggestion that kerbs can substitute for power-folding mirrors.
In the comments, viewers pick out the figures' wobbling eyes and debate how much punishment the bodywork can take. Some suggest a lift kit or a protective undertray; others treat the dents as part of the van's character. The clear-coat question gets its share of answers too, including a proposal for an absurdly thick application to hold everything together.

@Nathan-vq9chSee it on YouTubeYes, about 180 good heavy coats of clear should hold it together nicely.
