    you do the inside so it dont get scratched was told once you spray the colour you want then you have to spray silver to make the colour show out ask them at gm models good service down there

    Spray it from inside, get proper RC car paint too, its elastic so it dont all crack the first time you hit something, mask off the windows, paint any trim first (bumpers/lights grill etc) then spray the body colour last.
    a solid light colour over (under?) the body colour will make it stand out more, silver is best if you got a metalic colour as it helps to make it shine.

    forgot to mention, make sure you degrease the shell, the mould release agent will fook the paint.
