We recommend to buy

To finish, you need to paint the bodywork. Lexan bodies are always supplied as a semi-finished product intended for carving and painting. First of all, you need to cut out the body nicely, to make the holes for the wheels as round as possible, bent lexan scissors will help you. For flat surfaces, we also offer lexan straight scissors.
When choosing colors for the polycarbonate bodywork, you need to be careful to buy a real spray for lexan, e.g. H-SPEED Spray for lexan 150ml white, it has a special composition so that it sticks to the body, the colors are flexible and resistant peeling and cracking even with the biggest impact.
Before painting, the body must be thoroughly degreased, most manufacturers recommend washing the body with spring water. After degreasing, use masking tape from the inside of the body, e.g. 24mm masking tape to create the design of your choice, or apply the masking stickers supplied by the manufacturer to the windows and lights.
It is important to know that Lexan bodies are painted from the inside, which makes the body resistant to abrasion. Varnishing should take place best in rooms with room temperature. Individual colors are applied in at least three layers, it is important to apply the color from a sufficient distance, at least 15-20 cm.
