You need a set of curved lexan scissors. Like these...http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXXGD5&P=0
A straight pair is helpful as well.http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXGGW0&P=0
Finally a dremel to clean up the edges. Take your time... Some medium and fine grit sandpaper will work as well.
Go to www.prolineracing.com They tell you how to paint, you'll have to find the link on their site. .Follow their instructions, do not deviate. I have painted all my bodies with their routine and it works perfect. Never had a body that the paint flaked off.

One more thing, a body reamer to cut out the mounting holes. A Drill bit works but is a PITA.

Remember to paint the inside to give a nice shiny finish. You can sometimes put the decals on the inside too before the paint. Means paint nor decals get scrapped in roll overs.
