Not sure about the bodies.
For paint, you want paint made specifically for lexan bodies. Tamiya makes polycarbonate paint which is for lexan bodies. If you use regular paint, it'll brittle when the body flexes. Lexan paint is designed to bend with the body to prevent crackling.
The antenna may be bent under the body. This will although reduce your radio range greatly. Another factor can be that they are using a 2.4ghz radio system. They tend to have very short antennas so you can hide then under the body.
