How to Cut the Body
Please trim the body along the green line as shown in the pictures below:

Lexan bodies come with an outer film to protect
them during painting. Do NOT remove this
covering until painting is complete.

After washing, apply the supplied window
masks to the interior of the body. Take care to
firmly press the edge of the masks down to the
body for best results and to prevent paint runs.

Lexan bodies come with a invisible residue from
the mold and needs to be washed off for best
paint results. Wash the body with dish detergent
using warm water to rinse completely. Take care
to dry with a lint free cloth or air dry completely
before painting.

Lexan bodies are painted on the inside. Please take
care to make all of the mounting holes and trim the

How to Paint your Lexan Body
5RC4WD 100-0031

Once you are comfortable with your masking of the
body, it is time to apply paint. Be sure to fully read
and understand the directions of the paint you are
using as supplied on the can. We recommend using
lexan (polycarbonate) paint only. Normal household
paints will not yield good results.

Once the paint is dry, it is time to remove the
protective outer covering. This can be done by
using the tip of your hobby knife or finger to gently
peel up a corner and pulling it completely off.

Now is it time to apply the supplied decals to meet
your own personal style. You may now complete
the installation of the plastic accessories.

You can take this time to design a custom masking
design or paint in one solid color. There are many
advanced lexan body painting techniques available
online. We are only covering the basic techniques.
