Curved bi-scissors are best for making smooth, precise cuts on RC car body. Sand the RC body down if the edges are rough or jagged after trimming.
Dry your RC body off with a soft, lint-free cloth before painting it.
If you’re just applying a new coat of paint, you do not need to draw your design beforehand. Keep your design simple so it is easy to paint, especially if this is your first time painting an RC car.
