BODY PAINTING

Prepare the Lexan body shell for painting by washing it thoroughly with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry the body with a clean,
soft cloth. Use the window masks (162) supplied to cover the windows 

from the inside

. A high-quality masking tape should be used on

the inside of the body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the body. Use acrylic lacquer, acrylic
enamel, or any other paints recommended for Lexan (polycarbonate). Apply paint to the inside of the body. Remove the tape for the
next color and continue. Try to use darker colors first. If you use a dark color after a light color, apply a coat of white over the lighter
color before applying the darker color. This will help prevent the darker color from bleeding through the lighter color.

STICKERS

Cut the stickers from the sticker sheet (163) that you wish to apply to the body. Before removing the protective backing, find the
desired location. Remove the backing completely and reattach an edge of the sticker to the shiny side of the backing material. Using
the rest of the backing material as a handle, position the sticker and press firmly into place to complete its application.
