Default Dingo Kit Body Painting Question?

Do you guys trim the body first or paint first? I was going to rough the inside with fine sand paper but when I tested it on a small scrap piece it seems like it would leave scratch marks or will the pain fill them in and hide them? By the way this is my first kit, and first time painting. Thank for any tips.

You cut the body before it is painted so that you can see the cut lines. It also makes marking the location of the body post holes a lot easier since you can see the body posts when you put the body on the chassis.

Don't use sand paper on the inside use a scourer from your sink

I like to use #000 synthetic steel wool to scratch up the inside, works really well.
