Painting MT Body

[Rc-Rookie]

So I am ready to paint my MT body and I see that the clear body looks bubbly kind of is there some kind of film that's on the body that I have to peel off before painting or is there already a over spray film on the outside I peel of after or what? I tried to see if I can get anything to peel up but I can't get nothing to peel up and I am using a utility knife and cutting at the body and I am getting nothing to come up.

There is normally a overspray film on the outside. That will get peeled off after your done painting. You just need to wash the inside with some dish detergent before you paint. You want to wash out any mold release that might still exist before you paint.

my MT body came with no film on it and had water spot looking marks all over it.

i just bought a new body from after market company and used it.the grafil sc body RCDAD has on sale fits and looks great on mine.

Looks good. I keep picking at the body and can't seem to get no film to come up and looks like water spots all over the body I guess I didn't get a film with mine.

you can put a film on it if you like.Parma makes a brush on film for masking .

Hva you tried washing it? and still see bubbles? If it does not have any over spray film you can just tape plastic to the outside of the body to catch any over spray.

also a tip to where you don't have to wash the body before paint this stuff is great gets rid of all oil lint dust makes the paint stick super great and more just spray on let it dry and start painting great stuff. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spaz-Stix-90059-ULTIMATE-SURFACE-PRE-PREP-AEROSOL-PLASTIC-Hobby-Lexan-Body-/181082204084?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item2a295727b4

Great idea but would take along time to brush the outside of the body you can just tape on some plastic in a couple of mins.
