How to Spray Paint RC Car Body

Materials Needed

• RC car body
• Sandpaper (120-grit and 220-grit)
• Masking tape
• Primer
• Spray paint
• Clear coat

Step 1: Prepare the RC Car Body

Start by removing any dirt or debris from the RC car body. Use sandpaper to sand the surface of the body to create a smooth finish. Start with 120-grit sandpaper and then move to 220-grit sandpaper.

Step 2: Mask the RC Car Body

Use masking tape to cover any areas of the RC car body that you do not want to paint. This includes the windows, headlights, and taillights.

Step 3: Prime the RC Car Body

Apply a thin coat of primer to the RC car body. This will help to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to.

Step 4: Spray Paint the RC Car Body

Once the primer has dried, you can start to spray paint the RC car body. Use light, even strokes to apply the paint. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next coat.

Step 5: Clear Coat the RC Car Body

Once the paint has dried, you can apply a clear coat to protect the paint from scratches and fading. Apply the clear coat in the same way that you applied the paint.

Step 6: Remove the Masking Tape

Once the clear coat has dried, you can remove the masking tape. Be careful not to peel off any of the paint.

Step 7: Enjoy Your Newly Painted RC Car Body

Your RC car body is now painted and ready to race! Enjoy the new look of your car.

Tips

• Use a well-ventilated area when spray painting.
• Wear a mask when spray painting.
• Test the paint on a small area of the RC car body before painting the entire body.
• Allow the paint to dry completely before applying the next coat.
• Use a clear coat to protect the paint from scratches and fading.
