customize rc car body

Exclusive summary about Customize RC Car Body by Randy Rater

Adding a different style body with a unique paint scheme is surely the most dramatic cosmetic change a car owner can make to his RC car or rc truck. Lots of owners have converted their RC cars and trucks to resemble their ’real’ daily driver, race car, pulling truck, buggy, classic car, or even their favorite Nascar.

The most popular bodies are molded in clear lexan and are easily painted the colors of your choice from the inside of the body. Any hobby shop or craft store will offer for sale a selection of aerosol paints for you to choose from. I have also found that the ’base coat’ paints left over from our auto body business work very well. Paint vapors are highly flammable and toxic!

A drill is required to make mounting holes and a hole saw is very useful for making your cooling holes for nitro powered RC cars. Bleeding on your RC car is not a cool way to customize it! Enjoy!

The first thing you need to do is clean the shell, use warm water and soap, be sure to rinse all the soap off and let it dry before your continue, it’s critical that the lexan shell is clean or your paint job won’t hold, or will have blemishes once your done.

Now that we have the body cleaned and cut out we need to look for natural lines on the body that we can use to keep our design perfectly symmetrical, it’s often difficult to paint over vents and other highly detailed parts of the car so pick your locations wisely.

First thing I need to point out is that we paint the inside of the shell, the outside has a clear film which prevents over-spray, once the car is painted and ready for decals and stickers this can be removed, leave it intact until after you have painted the car.

Now here is the trick, find a good image on google images or from somewhere off the internet, it really doesn’t matter where it comes from, if you have the ability you can draw your own, then scan in into a computer. Once you have your digital image, you can print this out using a standard inkjet printer.

At first I tried to to print to A4 Sticker paper, which you can get from any stationary shop, the problem with this is that the glue they use on the back sticks to the lexan, and even if you remove all of it the paint will not stick to these parts correctly. The right way to do it is to either use the wax backing of the A4 Sticker paper or get some other wax paper, apply masking take to the wax side and then print your design out on the marking tape. Remember that you will need to do this as a mirror image should you want text or numbers

Once done cut out your mask and apply it to the inside of the car. Mask out the windows and lights and whatever else you want, then apply the first layer of paint.
