|  painting aluminum panels
So from what I have researched... one of the best ways is to lightly sand body then .. use rubberized undercoat then spray on liner for a rugged flat black look. Has anyone done this? Bad idea? Good idea?

for paint to stick you want to sand, then clean it off with some type of cleaner. then paint it. if you want the rugged flat black look they have spray on truck liner at your local autopart store for like 8 bucks and that would work great.

Don't paint the aluminium without priming, as for the Tamiya connectors just cut them off and solder on deans .
