Body Protection

[NJRC]

I have flipped through some of the threads and gallery photos and have seen some really cool looking paint jobs.

I know that painting is applied from the inside, but is there anything that can be used or done to the outside to protect and prevent scuff marks?
You would figure that a nice dark paint job would easliy show scuffs from roll overs which kinda makes the paint job not look so impressive after a few roof landings.

I have a mostly white lid and I get noticeable black scuffs from roof landings.

I notice some impressive paint jobs, but do you really use those lids or is it all dust collectors?

I run with all my custom lids... Sometimes it's painful to see it get all F'ed up, but I quickly get over it.... lol Gives it character...

thats what the lids were made for... Too BASH! Paint is paint, bash is fun!

Yeah, it hurts to see a nice lid rolling upside down on the street. But that's part of the game. It gives you an excuse to paint another.

Later....

I don't know if there's really anything you can do to the outside to make it show less damage. I think it adds character. As for my custom work. Well, I keep one show body for my Maxx and my RS4. The rest are running bodies. The first time you run a custom job, it's a bit nerve racking. Don't want to F up the nice paint. But then you realize it only takes about a day to paint another one.

Nothing you can do on the outside other than an external roll cage.
With a newly painted lid, the first rollover is extremely painful...the rest are expected.
