Painted two bodies today. One 10T body, and one new Viper buggy body also for the truck.
The stripping tape didnt stick well and the lines bled. But looks fine to my 10 year old son who helped, and to me. I have a complete sticker sheet for the truck body also.
After cartwheeling my world's car thru the air and deciding to go easy on her, I decided to buy a 10t. Just won the auction and now wait

hi isitafox
I always use 100ml Tamiya spray cans, they are enough to give 2 thin coats of paint to your raider and surely to do other raider too. So expect a body could need about 15 or 20 ml per coat
After a bit of indecision and looking at god knows how many Protech bodied RC10's I arrived at this!
I'm a happy chappy. :D

What is the preferred method for repainting a body on the outside? If you use regular Lexan paint is there a way to get a glossy appearance or are you stuck with matte? Is there another type of paint that will flex and still provide decent shine?

I know that creatix paints are pretty flexible so using it on the outside should be okay.
