then paint one dusty coat, let it dry for 15 minutes, another nice layer... let dry etc...

Status: offline 		Also just lay the body on the chassis with the wheels on,

check they line up then check your body post's...

mark with a marker on the outside of the body where the post's are (do not remove protective film) drill holes and cut out wheels like fdjizm stated..and paint it

Stickers are final stage

Send a pic to show it off ...

Status: offline 		sand it wet with 1200 grit or 1500 grit. then spray light coats of paint. Trim it first through, but trim it piece by piece so you get the fitment right.
