Hey guys , I'll be painting my first body today. I picked out blue, metallic purple, and silver for my colors. Now I have to find out in what pattern I want the colors set and I'll be good to go. Any tips and tricks you guys I'd appreciate it. Thank you
 
Clean the inside of the body by washing it in dish soap, dry well and mask windows, trim off excess lexan and punch mounting holes and engine access, apply light coats of paint, dark to lighter in colors.... back your paint with either white or silver to make opaque and let dry well before final trimming
 
Sense the lexan body has an outer mask you can trace your designs and body seams with a sharpie. It is really useful if/when you use liquid mask instead of tape.
 
I used the liquid mask material andnloved it makes painting a lot easier.
