You would do better to post in the ''Paint and body'' section . You can find lots of tips in the stickies .

if you buy the honcho kit with the green body then just cut out your new one to match,,get some curved scissors,,since you ae so new this is the right forum for you to post in,,good call on that one,,other wise the local hobby store (lhs) will be able to tell you the exact tools you need for the honcho to work on it.

If unsure when cutting, cut little bits at a time. Much easier to cut more off, than add it back if you go too far.

I've found it to be SO much easier to score the lines that you want to cut, with an exacto knife, then just peel the extra off. It works extremely well, and leaves a super clean line. Way easier than scissors. Just make sure that the score line doesn't wander, because when you peel it, it will follow that score line....wherever it goes.

It works like a charm.

As for cutting and drilling post holes, I always do that after paint. That way you get zero overspray. Just be sure to mark the holes with a sharpie, on the outside, before paint.
