With it being nice out tonight, I figured I would shoot the body now.

ALERT!!!!

If you are going to paint one of these bodies, purchase stock in Tamiya Paint before you do.

I have always loved Tamiya Metallic Mica Red Ferrari. It is a Limited Edition Color.

I figured that with this much body, it would be the best color to use.

Well...3 cans of the red and 2 cans of white backer later...she is done and looks hot.

I will now let it cure for a couple days and then cover the inside of the body with Strapping Tape to ensure that it holds up and also reinforces the body from damage.

I will also be laminating another piece of lexan at the mounting points to reinforce the body holes.
