I don’t think I want to paint them. I’m going to use these as display and use the beat up painted ones for running.

90% of my bodies are clear.

And I thought I had a pan car addiction!

I like leaving them clear sometimes. But I like to use decals too. I’d say at the moment my assortment is 50/50

I paint all of mine, Im down to my last clear no-stamp RC10, just until I come up with another cool era correct paint scheme. I don't like seeing them clear at all, but that's just me.

I only leave them clear until i come up with a paint scheme. I've put some decals on some clear bodies before i've painted them but found that I end up wasting some sweet decals because decals go better after paint. Either that or i don't plan well.

Plus when i see clear bodies it reminds me of the impatient kid that runs it clear and then it gets too torn up to really ever paint.

Plus the cool lines and details of the body don't come thru when its clear

My opinion goes the opposite direction. A clear body on a car is an incomplete project. I can't even stand leaving a wing clear, it's gotta be painted somehow to suit the body paint scheme. I agree with TRX-1-3 about the body lines, even to the point that I'll avoid stickering up a car in favor of a paint job that brings out the body lines somehow.

I would paint all of mine if I didn’t suck at painting

You and me both except me x2 and for this reason many of mine are unpainted.
