@sethdaman627 thanks. Already did looks pretty good has a marbling affect had some comments on it and told them it was the work of a famous body painter His name was dumbass lol

[sethdaman627]

@BREAD92110 you could but if you used that it would start to flake off so go to your local hobby store they will know what type of paint you should get there is a special kind that will flex with the lexan so get that

[BREAD92110]

is it alright to use regular spray paint likr krylon

@thebeachvlog, i use tamiya PS polycarbonate paint its flexable and holds up to the ruff and tuff

[TeamPurpleVenom]

You should of backed the paint with blaxk or white it will protect the shell from get scratchers from the inside and if you have a issue with the wheels rubbing the gaurds put electrical tape where it hits just some helpfull tips enjoy paintind those shells :)

@TheBeachVlog it depends on the country you are in. If you are in USA the get Pactra rc paint at you local hobby shop. If you are not in USA look for any rc car lacquer. If you use normal enamel or acrylic it will fall off completely on impact.
