Lexan bodies come with an outer film to protect

them during painting. Do NOT remove this

covering until painting is complete.

1

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.

4

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.

3

Lexan bodies are painted on the inside. Please take

care to make all of the mounting holes and trim the

body completely before painting. Test fit all of the

hard plastic parts before painting. Do NOT glue any

accessory parts to the body before painting.

How to Paint your Lexan Body

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.

6

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.

7

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.

5

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.

*Wipers may require glue on the inside to hold them in place. Use a clear drying glue.

Do not use CA as it will dry foggy. Shoe goo or E6000 will ruin paint. Canopy paint will

work.
