This is my first time painting a body. BMW M3 shell. Tried to go for a BMW blue with a blue sparkle in it. And I didn't leave the windows clear because they will have the decals below over them anyway.

Looks good. Quick tip though, mark and drill your body post holes before painting. Ask me how I know? :rolleyes:
Oh I can figure out how you know.....Because I'm about to take this thing out and step on it now. Lol
 
Oh, don't do that. Put a blob of grease on each body post, then carefully place the body where you want it. When you lift it off, it'll be marked from inside.
It's things like this that make me want to jump on the electric rock crawler wagon. At least it doesn't look as bad when you get the body off with those lol.
 
@SSievers08 looks good. I swear I'm the only person that can't even paint using a single color.
