No problem Sh1nn3r.
The thing is...(remember this is jmo)...sometime people forget that they are dealing with toy cars...unless your specifically participating in concours shows these bodies do not have to be absolutley flawless. They will be raced or bashed, flipped over and scratched. I painted real show cars and custom bikes for years and the stress of absolute perfection and rediculous amounts of scrutiny take the fun out of custom painting. Several weeks or even months of work can be ruined in a flash...not to mention hundreds or even thousands of dollars in materials and labor. With the R/C bodies, at a cost of giving your labor away or worst case scenario replacing a body and starting over...you don't have nearly the risk. Don't get me wrong ...I still have a habit of stressing out over the smallest of imperfections...but that's just the way I am.
