your best bet is to buy a unpainted body and paint it.

What rc do you have???

RE: what to do?

well ,theres a tough one? but best idea is get some good adhesive Vinyl from a sign shop ,not from xxx-main etc. that is a masking vinyl made to release easily, so get good "Sticker Matieral", now put on your windows to protect them and now either sand or use the brake fliud method, or a 50/50 mix of lacquer thinner and Isopropal Alcohol and that can help too.
