body panels

[rccrawler39]

I just got my gmade r1 chassis.I'm going to make body panels out of thin aluminum.What is the best way to paint them or does somebody know where I can get them painted at?

I hacked some out of a monster energy drink can. They look cool, but I don't have them on yet.
Might be able to use decal vinyl. Get it from a sign shop, and they could cut to fit, and even reverse cut some graphics in.

Ive used High Heat Engine Enamel rattle cans from autozone, after it dries bake it in the oven on 200f for a hour and it locks the paint on. Ive used it on a old weed eater engine i converted for rc planes it stuck on real well.

scuff up the aluminum a bit then spray it, it gives the paint something to stick to then shoot it with some clear coat to seal it.

look into powdercoating them,prolly cost $10-$15.
