My cage is not painted. But I'm sure the guys who have painted theirs will just tell you prep is everything... Disassemble, rough up the surface, clean thoroughly and spray light coats and lots of coats just like any other paint job. My two cents... Nothing amazing. Use good paint. I prefer Testors as I find Tamiya paint to be watered down or something. Again, just an opinion here. As for a first hand account of it scratching any more or less than any other plastic painted part, I can't answer that. |

I used krylon, worked pretty well. Scuffed and sprayed, but it will still scratch in the obvious places, bumper and top of rear cage. But still looks way better than black.
