Painting Tips:

Your SC5M Team Kit comes with a clear 
polycarbonate body. You will need to prep the body 
before you can paint it.  Wash the inside thoroughly 
with warm water and liquid detergent. Dry the body 
using a clean, soft, lint-free cloth.  Use the supplied 
window masks to cover the windows from the 
INSIDE of the body (RC cars get painted from the 
inside).  Using high quality masking tape, apply tape to 
the inside of the body to create a design. Spray 
(use either rattle can or airbrush) the paint on the 
inside of the body (prefferably dark colors first, 
lighter colors last).  

NOTE: ONLY use paint that is recommended for use 
with (polycarbonate) plastics.  If you do not, you can
destroy the plastic body!!!!.

After paint has completely dried, cut the body along 
the trim lines. Make sure to drill or use a body reamer 
to make the holes for the body mounts and antenna!
