| Painting Injection Moulded Plastic
Am also looking into this right now. Was staring at a wall of spray paint cans just an hour ago and still looking on-line. Had found these articles that I'm planning to follow: How To Paint Injection Moulded (Hard Plastic) Bodyshells And this one #8 Scale 4x4 R/C - Articles Maybe it will help.

Glad I found this thread. Got my first hard body coming for Christmas and had a pretty good idea how to paint it, but this definitely helps
