proline 1980 chevy body

[R0cky23]

So eventually I am going to want to get another body for my volcano s30, and I found this http://prolineracing.com/bodies/1980-chevy-pick-up-e-maxx-e-revo-revo-3-3-mgt/ . So my question is how hard would it be fo a beginner to do a similar painjob on it? For the chrome bumpers would I just tape off around the bumpers and do a chrome paint on it?

For the chrome bumpers, you can use Spaz stix mirror chrome, they even make it in a rattle can if you don't have an air brush, then back it with black. So depending on what color you go with for the main body color will determine if you need to do the bumpers first or not, although I would recommend you do them first no matter what color you go with, as chrome will show any and all residue left behind from your masking, so better to do it first masking off the rest of the lid.

I would use just one very light coat of the chrome and backing it with black. I also used the chrome to emulate the chrome strips on the original.
