I just bought a new clear body. is there anything I need to know that is important before I paint it. Such as prepping it or what kind of paint to use?

The biggest thing with painting a RC body is "PATIENCE".

Trim and drill your mounting holes.
Wash the body throughly.
Mask the windows.
Take your time and spray light coats and let it dry and the do it again.

Do i need to put that filler stuff on the inside and paint the inside?

Yes, you do paint the inside. The lexan acts as a protector for the paint and though the paint is flat when sprayed, it will shine glossy on the outside.

If you don't mind waiting, Iwill be making how-to guide detailing this information. I am making it because there are things I've learned from experience that I feel beginners that are new to this hobby (like me) should be informed rather than waste some money trying to learn.
