Painting Your Car Body

As in the fine shaping stage, extra patience and effort put into the finishing stage can pay big dividends. Be aware that using several coats of paint can add weight to your car.
  1. Insert a 2-foot length of 5/8" hardwood dowel into the power plant housing of the car body. This makes a very convenient handle for turning the body to paint it from all angles. Pitsco also makes a racecar paint stand for this purpose.

  2. PaintingUse a spray can or airbrush to apply paint to the body. Spray light coats and wait several minutes between coats to allow the paint to dry.
