How to Modify a RC Car Body
What You’ll Need
- RC car body
- Sandpaper
- Primer
- Automotive paint
- Clear coat
- Masking tape
- Scissors
- Patience
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Body
The first step is to prepare the body for modification. This involves sanding the body to remove any imperfections or debris. Start with a coarse grit sandpaper and gradually work your way to a finer grit. Once the body is smooth, wipe it down with a damp cloth to remove any dust.
2. Apply Primer
Primer helps paint to adhere to the body better. Apply a thin, even coat of primer to the body and let it dry completely.
3. Paint the Body
Now it’s time to paint the body. You can use automotive paint in any color you like. Apply several thin coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
4. Apply Clear Coat
Clear coat protects the paint from scratches and weathering. Apply a thin, even coat of clear coat to the body and let it dry completely.
5. Mask Off Areas for Customizing
If you want to customize your body further, you can use masking tape to mask off areas for painting or decaling. For example, you could mask off the windows or create a custom racing stripe.
6. Apply Customizing
Once you have masked off the areas you want to customize, you can apply your custom touches. This could include painting, decaling, or adding other accessories.
7. Finish Up
Once you have finished customizing your body, let it dry completely. Then, remove any masking tape and admire your handiwork!
