Clean the body parts with water and soap solution, especially the inside which you want to paint. Then dry it with a clean cloth. Now cover the body parts which you don’t want to paint with adhesive foil, f.e.windows. We recommend to use the prefabricated FG sheet foil or Tamiya masking tape. Cut the overlapping adhesive foil along the contour with a sharp model knife and pull it off. Press the foil well to the edges and passings in order to avoid an underflowing of the paint.

When spraying the individual coats of paint please make sure that you apply them very thin. Let the single coats of paint dry well before you spray again.
Tip: If you use more colours then start with the darkest one. Finally spray the complete inside of the body parts with a little bit of white, this prevents a grinning-through and gives the main lacquer more brilliancy. Pull the adhesive foil off, if necessary remove the adhesive remainders with spirit. For a better appearance you can spray the windows with a transparent colour (PS 31 from Tamiya) so they look like tinted windows.

Before you stick the decorative strip foils and decals on, rub the outside of the body with some spirit in order to remove drizzle from painting. Now stick the
decorative strip foils on to windows, doors a.s.o. Cut out the decals and Team decals and stick them on the body. If you want to stick on a bigger decal, spray
the spot with soap water, then fix the decal. Now you are able to move the decal to the right place. Possibly existing bubbles underneath the decals you should press to the outside with a smooth cloth. A hairdryer could be used to place decals over exeptional parts. By heating the decals and pressing it with a smooth cloth and will be easy to form over a grill or a headlight
