You do paint the inside. It comes with instructions and stickers to put over the windows to keep paint off of them. It usually has a layer like saran wrap on the outside to keep the overspray off the outside. Should have basic directions with it.

It had a few imperfections but I was able to cost them with decals. I learned from my mistakes but I think it looks pretty nice.

Default painting lexan.

Here is a pic, the red is actually darker than this. All I have to take pics with is a webcam which doesn't do the best job.

That's pretty nice. I am doing my new xxx body next week, I will post pics when it is done. I have to replace the compund gear first as it is screwed up. Running comes before beauty. I also need to fix the rs4 mt electric. This gets expensive.

The parts I need are only about 10 bucks for both trucks but I have to go get them and spend quite a bit of time, fixing the trucks with them afterwards.
