Cutting bodies

[chadds]

Hi, I am about to tackle painting and trimming my first body. My question is....how do you guys accurately cut window openings? Do you just take it real slow with Lexan scissors, or is there some other secret? Also...any websites you can point me too that have tips and tricks for doing bodies? Thanks

Chad

After the body is painted I ruff cut the openings and trim off the body and fine tune them with a barrel sander on my Roto tool.

So a search on this forum or dig into the body section and you will find a huge amount of info on painting. My only advise is to take it slow. Wash the inside of the body several times and let it dry. Use several thin coats of paint and let them dry before applying more. It pays to take the time to prep your body before painting. Many people spend 2 hours of prep for every 10 minutes of painting.

Sorry about that double post! I didn't think the first one went through when I posted it!
