Status: offline 		bodies are pretty cheap so buy a couple and paint one for show and one for bashing. Also did you paint the inside of the body? Try the CFX website, I believe they have some online how to videos that are pretty good or search youtube for rc body painting and you'll get a bunch of help. Heck just keep reading this forum and you'll learn tons.
