I'm wondring if any companys sell prepainted bodys for our buggy's? I've done a few paint jobs on my trucks and just finished my k3's and they turn out fine but its a time consuming pain imo. id just like to have a spare or 2 so i can have some options without all the prepping,painting, trimming,etc.leaveing more time for maintance and tuning.

Just about any of the RTR's that come with prepainted bodies can be perchased seperatly. Personally I really enjoy painting bodies. Paypal me the $$$, and I'll send you a painted body if you don't like the RTR options.
hirevn, the k cars are real popular. If pre-painted bodies exist, it's for sure that you'll find one for the K.
If you're in a real hurry, you could just put the window masks on and then rattle can the rest of it. One color and your done. A lot of racers do it down and dirty like that. A spare body is a must and it don't have to be fancy.

one of his was a dragon, that gave me an idea.i have a 8ft carpet python(yes thats a real snake from australuia) and sense the k3 has all that green,,, there's my first body. maybe the second will be some flaming skulls or something.
at 75.00 including the body for his custom paint i say thats pretty reasonable,for me to do an avarage paint sceem its 25.00 for the body,lets say 3 colors of paint at 5 bucks a can (my lhs prices) theres 40.00 for a simple paint job with a few colors.
