Default Need some help please

Hey everyone ,

Well im getting ready to paint my first lexan body...

I think I want to paint it from the outside and paint the inside a rusty color. The body has a thin protective coating on it- do I peel this off and get to painting?

Thanks for the help , I have no idea what im doing when it comes to painting ...haha

Yes, the outer film is a protective film to prevent overspray on the outside of the body when painting one like normal. To get the effect like you're talking about, you are going to need to remove the film first.

Ok thanks just wanted to make sure. Im painting a suzuki samurai body, and the whole back of the body is a soft-top....Would it be a good idea to paint the inside of the soft-top grey? Then paint the outside of the soft-top black? That way it would look like it has wear and tear after I rub on some rocks .....

Be sure to post up some pic's of how it came out.

Ive been wanting to do this my self but thought it would some how be difficult. Well not difficult to do but difficult for it to come out good.
