painting the clear bodies
Has anyone tried painting the clear bodies? I'm debating if i should paint the inside or outside of the body?

Paint the outside. I thought about painting the inside, but I noticed that the bodies are not a constant thickness everywhere which would make it look strange if painted from the inside. Just imagine how the side mirrors would look

I got 'em in 2 weeks, hehe. But your choice. Plum Crazy Purple! (like dusters and 'cudas) But with my Trueno body, I think it is painted on the outside, with bothe colors (white and black). If you do it on the inside, make the little details first! And you can just paint the mirrors from the outside!
