Yes, you can spray paint the wheels and body. I'm not too sure about the heatsink though. I'm thinking that most likely you will be able to paint it.

so it wont wreck it, and I sthere any other alternatives like testors model paint. Also will it look an good?

[viperkilla]

Testors and Tamiya spray paints are pretty good. If you use them correctly then it will come out great.

[yz85rider]

what about just plain ol spray paint from wal mart, or my garage in this matter.

Thanks badboy007 for making me laugh that was a good one.

yz85rider wally world carries testors model paint real cheap. And to make it look good just take your time ie light misting coats build the paint up dont bomb it all on in two coats. If you have any ?s about preping the body or painting let me know and i will help you out.

step1 mask the car
step2 sand the car
step3 clean the car try to get your finger grease off and any sand dust and make sure its totally dry before you prime or shoot your basecoat.
BE ONE WITH THE CAR
step4 if you use primer nows the time to shoot the primer shoot it in light even coats from like 8 to 10 inches away dont try to prime the whole car in 2 coats you'll have trouble ie primer not sticking to the car and primer runs or sags.
step5 leave your car alone let it dry dont rush it follow the directions for drying time on the primer can .
step6 lightly scuff primer your basecoat (the color your painting your car) needs something to grip to.
step7 if your really picky nows the time to pull all your masking tape off and remask it AGAIN.
step8 follow step3
step9 time to paint just remember take your time light even dusting of basecoat 8inches away the basecoat needs time to flash (dry) between coats if you dont let it flash you'll have trouble.
step10 let it dry 1 to 2 hrs it depends on how warm it is.
step11 pull your masking off the windows but leave your lights masked if your going to clearcoat your car.
step12 shoot your clearcoat the same way as you shot your basecoat dont rush it.
step13 let her dry peel the remaining masking tape off and put her back together .
step14 have fun and i hope your paint job turn out killer
SMALL PRINT
theses steps work for me iam not saying this is the only way to paint your Xmod it really depends on what kind of paint your using ie waterbase,acrylic,enamals or automotive paints.
so if i missed anything please feel free to ad to the steps.

I found that Scotch Brite works well for Scuffing the car before paint. PEACE
