Painting:
Prepare the Lexan® Body and Wings for painting by washing them thoroughly (inside and out) with warm water and liquid detergent.
Dry both the Body and Wings with a clean, soft cloth. Use the supplied Window Masks to cover the windows from the inside. A high-quality
masking tape should be used on the inside of the Body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the Body or Wings.
Use acrylic lacquer or other paints recommended for Lexan® (polycarbonate). (NOTE: LEXAN® R/C CAR BODIES ARE MEANT TO
BE PAINTED FROM THE INSIDE!) Apply paint to the inside of the Body. Remove the masking tape for the next color and continue. Try
to use darker colors fi rst. If you use a dark color after a light color, apply a coat of white paint over the lighter color before applying the darker
color, or if you are painting over white, coat it with silver. This will help prevent the darker color from bleeding through the lighter color.
Mounting:
After painting, trim the Body along the trim lines as shown below, emphasized by the dark shading in the fi gure below. There is an
indented trim line around the Body which can be used as a guide for trimming. Make three 7mm (.2755”)-diameter holes at the locations
marked with dimples. There is one at the back of the Body and one on the right side of the Body. Also trim the round shaped hole on the front
of the Body. These will be the Body mounting and Antenna holes.
Now cut out the large shaded areas on the body. These cut outs allow for fueling and to cool the engine.
Stickers:
After the Wings and Body are mounted, REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE FILM ON THE OUTER SURFACE, now you can apply
the stickers. Cut the stickers from the sticker sheet that you wish to apply to the Body or Wing. Before removing the protective backing, fi nd
the desired location. Remove the backing completely and reattach an edge of the sticker to the shiny side of the backing material. Using the
rest of the backing material as a handle, position the sticker and press fi rmly into place to complete its application.
