Thanks very much for the tip! Yes, I have heard of this method, but after a lifetime of doing it dry, I'm a little nervous about trying it! I must pluck up the courage next time and give it a go! All the best from Mark! :)

Good choice, Anders! It's a great looking car. Glad I could help, I hope the cutting went well! Good luck! 😎👌👍

@@MarkBryanRC Cheers, Mark. Cutting went... OK. Stayed on the safe side and had to do quite a bit of sanding. But the way the painting came out really surprised me. So I totally agree about peeling off that protective plastic: That moment alone is worth the price of the kit 😀 About halfway through the decals now *sigh* Again, your videos help out!

@@anderslandgren6745 Glad to hear it went OK, I agree it's best to err on the side of safety and do a little sanding! Oh yeah, peeling that film off is a great feeling! Enjoy the rest of the decals!!! 😁😁👍👍

I love this comment, Alex - thanks for bringing a smile to my face! As we know, this rally car has special meaning to us due to the Richard Burns connection. It really made a difference when completing the work on the body, especially the driver / co-driver livery on the side windows. I will take care of this one, mon ami - it's very precious! Love and peace my good brother! :)

Thanks very much! Well, if you get another body, at least you can have one as a basher and save the other for Sunday best! I hope it goes well for you, cheers!

You are so welcome, Christopher! It is very kind of you to comment, much appreciated, my friend! Best regards, Mark... :)

Hi Brian 👋 great to hear that the video was of some use! Hope you enjoy the build, mate 👍

I'm very happy to hear that! Such a cool rally car too! Thanks very much for the comment! 😎👊👍

Thanks for the great comment, I'm really pleased that the video was of some help. Cheers!

Good choice! Glad you got one again - she sure is a beauty! Oh yeah, brushless and ball-raced is the way to go. Thanks for the nice comment, enjoy your new Tamiya and all the best from Mark...

It really is! Nice one, Adrian, I hope you enjoy the build! :)

Hiya, Del! Thanks very much my friend. Yeah, it's well worth spending a bit of time to get these Tamiya kits right, they look so good when finished. Those pesky stickers do need a lot of persuading to go in the right place! I'm really please with the paint finish too - Pete told me to put on more layers, and he's right. Looking forward to filming the first run - all the best my good friend! :)

@@MarkBryanRC body translucence is one of my lexan pet hates, so next time I do a lexan body I´ll be adding a coat or two of black after painting from now on.

@@Del350K4 Hi mate - yes it definitely looks better than my other Scoobie shell with only the PS16 applied! :)

Thanks my mate! Yeah, I had to stop myself cutting those stars out! It still came out well, I'm really pleased with my Richard Burns rally car tribute. Gonna love running this one. Hoping you and yours are happy and well! 👍

Thank you! Yes, all my cars are built to be driven, this one has already been used hard, on the dirt, gravel, grass and even snow! It's a great rally car, for sure. Thanks for watching, my friend! :O)

Cheers dude, yeah this is one of my favourite body shells!

Thank you, Chris - I really appreciate that! Have a great weekend. Cheers!

@@MarkBryanRC do you have a Facebook page mark :)

@@chrisprud7688 Hi Chris, I am on FB with a personal account, but I don't have an RC cars page or anything like that!

@@MarkBryanRC ok no worries 😉

Thanks a lot, Marcus! Yes, the TT02 is one of Tamiyas most versatile chassis. The XV01 really has poor ground clearance for a rally car, but is a little better with the longer shock-bottom parts fitted, and they come with the kit! All the best from Mark... :)

@@MarkBryanRC thx a lot Mark, I very appreciate your answer! I just noticed that the tt-02ft (landfreeder) will come with a internal lexan cover for the chassis. This would be an awesome addition for many rally builds.

@@marcushaas44 You are right about the Lexan chassis cover, Marcus - there is a UK company (Kamtec) that already makes one for the TT02, if you are interested you can Google them! :)

And you, sir, are too kind! Ahh, the Terra Scorcher, I have enjoyed playing with that! The TT02 is a different kettle of fish, but just as good in it's own way! I hope you can find one for sale! All the best from Mark... :))

Thank you! Cheers! 😎🙏👍

Strangely, I really enjoy fitting the decals - I must be strange!!! But thank you very much for the kind words, I hope you have fun with decals in the future!

@@MarkBryanRC I think I may enjoy it now as well. I have two TT-02's coming today (Mustang GT4 and NSX), which are my first Tamiya's ever. I wanted this kit you decaled here, but my son picked those. My son turns 9 next month, and these will be his first RC builds, with dada's help of course. But at 50 years old, for some reason, buying these brings back memories of my first real hobby grade RC, which was the Kyosho Javelin. I was 15, and I remember the very first time I fired it up, I was holding it, and bumped the throttle by accident. The spiked tires burnt grooves into my forearm that I can still see the scars from today. Anyway, the decals I did on that car were horrible. They peeled up because I just slapped them on like a kids toy. So when I bought these TT-02's, it sparked something in my son. He called me yesterday and asked me if they showed up yet. He asked what hopup parts showed up, and I sent him pictures of wheels, shocks, and all the goodies. I have dropped nearly $500 on the Mustang GT4, and a bit on the NSX kit. He is so excited, and that has me excited. Anyway, sorry to go around the memory bank to get to a point, but I will be showing him this video when we get to the decal stage, so he can hopefully appreciate good decal techniques, which I never did.

@@wickedfog3047 Thanks for sharing your story, I really enjoyed reading it! Cool, 2 kits and lots of goodies, sounds like Tamiya heaven to me! Amazing you still have the old scars from the Javelin, now you can never forget RC's! I hope you enjoy the cars with your son, plus it's educational as well as fun. All the best from Mark...

Thanks a ton, Steven - yeah, have a good think, it really is a great Tamiya. All the best! 😎👍

Thanks very much my friend, sorry for the late reply. Yeah, I sometimes use a Sharpie to highlight the lines, too - my eyes are as bad as yours, I'm close behind you at 60!!! Agreed, those side stickers are the trickiest. Took me hours too, but I also agree this is an awesome looking rally legend! Cool addition of a roll cage, I may try that one day. Just done the first run, and like you I got it really dirty after gravel, sand and grass running! Thanks for watching and commenting, much appreciated! :)

Thanks for watching and the nice comment! Best wishes from Mark...

Thanks a lot!

Thank you so much 😀

Awesome! Thank you, Nathan, it sure is a great Tamiya rally kit!

Hi Kev - yeah it's a great Tamiya rally car, I really love their detailed bodies. Oh, I remember the Metro 6R4 fondly, I saw it compete in Rallies when I was a lot younger! Great little machine with a storming motor! I may get one of those bodies one day. All the best from Mark... :)

Thanks Carmine! Well. I have had a lot of practice cutting out those wheel arches! Those little scissors are fantastic! The silver really brought the PS16 to life, wish I had done that with my last Suby shell - live and learn! Hope you get one of these awesome looking Scoobie-Doo's one day, you'll love it me Mukka! All the best from me and my family! 👍

The Silver really made it pop!! Definitely live and learn. I love the WRX Coupe - THIS will be the one I'd get first. ...methinks I got myself too used to cutting 2-3" Wheel Arches. I used to be pretty good at Cars at one point!! 😖 Wishing you and your Family all the best!!!

@@CarminesRCTipsandTricks Cheers, you and yours too my friend! :)

Many thanks dude, appreciated 🙏 👍

Thank you so much, Marcus! Cheers!

Thanks so much for the great comment, Steve! You got me - Yeah we all know how it goes, try to take it easy, and then the fun gets hold of you! Easy to get carried away. But it looks so sweet, I really don't want to damage it! All the best my good friend! 👍

Thank you, Markus! Glad you enjoyed it on the rainy morning, sunny here for a change! Hope your weekend was good, good luck for a good week to come! :)

@@MarkBryanRC I am on holiday from Mo to Fr so it will be a great week for me :) Thank you - have a great week too Mark!

Enjoy your holiday my friend! Take it easy! :)

Thanks my good friend! Yes, I will definitely be running this one with kid gloves! Too lovely to smash up on the first run - cross your fingers for me, Jeremy! All the best, Bro! 👍

Glad it was helpful mate! I just take my time and follow the instructions carefully. Thanks for commenting and the support, it's very much appreciated my friend!

Glad you enjoyed it, thank you! 😎👍

Cheers my friend! Glad you had some quiet time - and man, that glass of JD sounds wonderful, I bet you enjoyed that! The reason this body means so much to me is the Richard Burns link - I was a big fan of his and was gutted to learn of his death. Such a shame, the good guys always seem to have terrible misfortune, and a brain tumour ended his life in the middle of a fantastic career. Building this one was my little tribute to one of my sporting hero's. The fact that it's one of the better looking Subaru's, being a 3 door coupe, was the icing on the cake. Thanks for the compliment about the cockpit - very humbling, coming from a man of your skills. Yes, I promise to be careful with this one, I'll choose a spot with no trees to collide with! Thanks again, and all the very best of wishes to you, mate! :)

Thank you so much, my friend, Fons! Cheers!

Fingers crossed, Jonathan! I hope it runs as good as it looks! Thank you for the lovely comments, always appreciated my friend! Cheers! :))

Thanks - you are very kind, my friend! 👍

Glad it was helpful, Carl, I'm very pleased to hear! Good luck with your body shell, it's very satisfying to do! :)

Thanks, Paul! Glad that a few tips are of some use, makes doing the video worth the effort! I'm really happy with the results. Never had an airbrush, but I know they can give great results with a little practice. Already filmed the first run, editing now - had a few issues but overall the car runs well. Hope all is good with you, Bro! :)

Thanks for the great support, Paul, always appreciated! This looks to be one of my favourites, the body is a real beauty and a great tribute to my rally hero, Richard Burns, makes it very special. Hope all is good with you my friend. 👍

Mark Bryan RC love the WRX STI racing blue. Going to do my TC-01 body in it. I think it will really go well with the shapes and the sticker set. Apart from being a gorgeous colour. 👍 Hope you had a good birthday the other day !!!

@@paulgarwood192 Thanks for the Birthday wishes, mate! OOOhh -you got a TC-01? Lovely looking kit - yeah, I can see it looking striking in that PS16!!! :)

Mark Bryan RC pre-ordered the TC-01 back in April/May when it was announced. Just received it a week or so ago. Looking forward to the challenge of the body, have ordered and received the remaining bearing kit, and like the idea of a new designed chassis. So I’m looking forward to a nice slow build. I’d just like to do a non box art on this kit. Love the box art, but just wanted it to be different.

@@paulgarwood192 Sounds great, a nice slow build, take your time and enjoy the process my friend. :)

Hiya mate! Lovely to read you as always. I had to mention you as I was thinking of you when I bought the paint! No, I don't want to bash this one, although it will be driven with spirit! Hopefully some nice sideways action that I can catch in slomo. I really like the look of this '99 version of the Scoobie - the lines are very clean, helped by the fact it's the 3 door Coupe. Look forward to that video of yours, hope to get some footage of mine tomorrow. Oooh, a new Arrma? Plenty to keep you busy, then! Hope your weekend is going well, cheers to you to my good mate! :)

Oh yeah, you are gonna love building this kit, it really is awesome, and looks so good! All the best, have a great weekend! :-)

Thanks so much, Kirkster! Sorry for the late reply, I'm having a good drink on my Birthday! Too old to mention! HaHa! Yeah, your pink Scoobie for Kaitlin is a beauty my friend. Go Tamiya! Hope you and yours are all good too my mate! 👍

Thanks for the sub, Glen, very much appreciated! I'm pleased you found the tips useful, it makes the effort making the video all worthwhile. Thanks for watching and take care out there! :)

@@MarkBryanRC thanks for the reply.. i have my old grasshopper that i still thrash and recently you a rc scooby which is why i was watching you, mine made by Haiboxing ? Runs very well and seems ok quality but i don't know much about this make ? Good , bad or freaky bad myself and my son have a laugh with it and its fast 👍 Any thoughts welcome haiboxing or hbx wish it was a tamiya

@@glenwhyte2555 Hey Glen - Yeah, I got a couple of HBX (Haiboxing) cars and although they are budget cars, the quality is pretty good and I've had a lot of fun with mine, too! I like them so much, I'd even consider getting more. No, definitely not a Tamiya, but still good all the same!

Hehe - not a bad looking body, for an old one! Cheers, dude - deffo need some obstacle-free terrain to run this one, but I'm sure we can still find a way to spoil the finish of this body-shell, probably my bad driving! Cheers for the kind words, all the best my mate! :)

Hiya, Mikey! Thanks a ton mate. Always great to read ya! Same here, this one, with the Richard Burns livery is also very special to me. I think this will be one of my favorite cars, I hope I can keep it looking nice for a while to come. If it gets too damaged, I'll deffo get another body to keep as a shelfie. Have fun with yours mate! :)

Hey Mark, what do you know about the tamiya tt03f, just bought one off Ebay. Any information would be helpful. TYIA 😎

@@mikeymike3240 Sorry, Mike, but I have never heard of a TT-03F!!! A quick search turned up no results! You will have to let ME know what it's like when it arrives! :)

Sorry Mark, it should have been the TA03F. Oooooops lol 😆

Thanks a ton, Jamie! Hope your Scoobie comes out well, I'm sure you will love it! Thanks for the sub, really appreciated my friend. Will definitely look into a diff lock - not sure it will be a big advantage on a rally car, I think the thick AW grease is a good compromise, stiffening things up a little. Thanks again, take care, bud! :))

Thanks Jinda! I have run this Subie a few times now, it sure is a cool rally car - check out the first run here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/br2RqtmV053bYZ8.html Cheers! :)

Welcome, friend! 🤗🙏

Thanks very much, Are my good friend.👍 Yeah, the PS16 is one of my favourite Tamiya colours. Oh dear, I already rolled it many times on the first run - too much grip on grass! The body has survived intact, thank goodness! Yeah, the gold paint was a good call, looks nice in the sunshine. All the best, cheers! :)

Hiya Tony Bro! I am lucky to have a good mate that always leaves such encouraging comments! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Glad your lovely wife watched it too - that's awesome! Keep safe too my good friend! :))

@@MarkBryanRC no worries and the same back to you Mark, Buddy's for Life Bro 👍😁🇬🇧🥰👍

Hi Jeremy, yeah but I backed it with silver first before the black, it will be a slightly deeper blue if you back with black first! 😎👍

Thanks Terry! Oh, the silver behind the blue gives a brighter look to the blue, and if I just backed the blue with black the blue would have a darker look. I prefer the car to be dark on the inside as it looks better when I'm filming the car for a run video.

Hi David and thanks for the kind comment! Glad you enjoy my videos. As for the paint for the cockpit, I just used a tin of automotive matt black spray and some old pots of Humbrol enamel, they don't have numbers as they are so old! I made up some flesh colour for the faces from artist's acrylic paint, I often use a lot of artist's acrylics that you can find in the cheap shops like The Works and other pound shops! I use masking tape and not liquid mask. Hope this is of some help! Cheers! :))

Thanks very much, Aaron! The honest answer is that I don't have any TS paints! But to be fair, I've used this trick on most of my cars that have a Lexan body and hard plastic body accessories, and as you say, at least the colour match is exact! Needs the clear coat or you will get a matt finish. All the best! :O)

Thank you Aiden! Yes I'm pleased with the way the paint came out. Oh, that plastic clear cover is already fitted to the body, you just have to remove it when painting is finished. 😎👍

Thank you very much. The black was Tamiya PS-5 and the silver was Tamiya bright silver PS-41 I applied 2 very light coats of each, just enough to cover the previous colour.

Hi Charlie! Yes, it is an excellent reproduction of the rally car. If I were you, I would apply the window masks, then tape off the window surrounds where you want them to be black. Then spray the main body colour. Next, remove the window surround masking, but leaving the window masks in place, spray the black. Finally, remove the window masks. If you are interested, I show how to do this in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l-BkqqlmxrWRioU.html I hope this helps - all the best from Mark... :)

Thanks very much, Kyle. The silver is PS-12 and the black is PS-5. Hope this helps, all the best, mate! :O)

@@MarkBryanRC I really appreciate you getting back to me mate thankyou :) I've bought this very same kit as my first venture in to proper RC car building, and have also purchased 2 Renault Laguna BTCC supertourer shells to replicate the the 97 and 98 liveries. :)

Hi dude! It's best to just have a go at the painting and learn as you go. Spray the can in short bursts and lay lots of short coats. The protective coat is on the outside and you spray on the inside . I hope you get a kit and have a go. All the best and please feel free to ask any more questions! 😊 👍

@@MarkBryanRC thank you so much for the reply and all the generous tips and info. Much appreciated and I will be following your advice. I love your rally videos as well...your an inspiration.

Thank you! The cockpit is the Tamiya Rally Cockpit Set, part number OP.1491. Do a search on Google and you will find lots of results! 😎👍

thank you very much found them ! @@MarkBryanRC

@@thynkb6749 Great news! 😁😁👍👍

Hi Jonathan - yeah, I've had mixed results with the smoke PS paint. I think it has a lot to do with the conditions when spraying. I find that many, very light coats is the way to go, but it can still "spit" a few unsightly blobs! Good to hear the main colours went on well, it should sparkle in the sunlight! Good luck with the rest of the jobs. All the best from Mark...

Hi - glad you found this video helpful! The paint colour is Tamiya PS16 - metallic blue. A lovely colour!

@@MarkBryanRC thank you and yeah it’s a very nice guide

Many thanks, Jonathon! Yes, the wheels needed a little brightening up, didn't they! Well, I brush painted the disks with metallic silver, well worth doing as you can see them through the wheels. All the best, take care! :o)

@@MarkBryanRC thanks Mark. I painted mine today and that little touch really does make all the difference!

Hi Lee - thanks for watching the channel - appreciated! Good you are getting back into RC. I think the TL-01 Impreza was the 2001 WRC body, and this one of mine is the 1999 body, so they are slightly different. I think the 2001 body is hard to find, these days! All the best from Mark... :)

Ha Ha! You know me too well me Mukka! :))

INDEED.... I've seen you Run before!!! 😜

Thanks, Carlos! The blue is PS16, the black is PS5 and the silver is PS41. I hope this helps! :)

Hi and many thanks for the kind words! The black is PS-5 and the silver is PS-41. I sprayed 3 light coats of blue, 2 coats of silver and 1 coat of black just to darken the interior of the body. Hope this helps! 😎👌👍

@@MarkBryanRC thank you !!!

Thanks very much - yes this is a great kit! All I used (in addition to the parts in the kit) were Tamiya PS-16 metallic blue paint, backed with silver and then black PS paints. I used automotive gold acrylic paint for the wheels. I also fitted the Tamiya rally car cockpit - #OP-1491. Hope this helps! :O)

@@MarkBryanRC ok, got it, thank you!! :)

Great advice! Better make sure the clear coat is compatible with Lexan, or it will chip off! All the best from Mark.. :)

Nice idea, what type of clear coat are you using?

@@marcushaas44 Hi Marcus, I have not tried applying a clear coat to a Lexan body yet! I fear it will chip off. I have used a acrylic clear coat on hard bodies, and this works well. :)

@@marcushaas44 Hi I saw A Guy here on KZfaq use A Tamiya Clear Coat

Hi Steve! You got that in one! Yes, the steering is far from perfect, and I'm afraid it's down to a poor design, especially those front steering hubs/axle carriers. I'm afraid there isn't a lot you can do about it. There will be some slop in the linkages caused by the step-screws. You can reduce this by fitting the alloy hop-up links and bearing kit (fastrax do a cheaper one than Tamiya's) but it will not completely solve the problem. All the best! :)

Hi Lee - I just carefully separate the mask from the backing in the middle and slide the scissors gently between the two halves and snip! :))

Hi Mark and thanks for the great comment! I have used the Hobbyking Sensored motors and find them to be both cheap and excellent quality. I prefer the 13.5T for the TT02. Here is a link to the motor and ESC: hobbyking.com/en_us/trackstar-roar-approved-1-10th-stock-class-brushless-esc-and-motor-combo-13-5t.html? Also to go with that you can get the "Trackstar Turbo Programming Box For 80a/120a Turbo ESC" and it works a treat! With all the programming features displayed on the back of the card stock that comes with the programming box it's all so easy! Have fun!

@@MarkBryanRC Thank you Mark! I come back to your channel over and over. Great information and most of all I love your presentation style. Cheers

@@markwalhimer8972 Cheers Mark, that's music to my ears! :O)

Hi there and thanks! You can't paint over the top of the protective film, but you can remove it and paint the Lexan with PS paint. 😎👍

​@@MarkBryanRCi noticed u did paint inside the body its better about the blue color for 98 wrc 16 or 19 blue color what one would be better

@@oi3 Hi! Definitely the PS-16 Metallic Blue 👍👍

@@MarkBryanRC hi do i also need the grey and Black color or its optional also what protection and tools do i need?

Hi again! Spray the blue first and then it's best to spray silver over the blue to give a brighter finish, but it is optional. I used a final coat of black because I like the inside of the car to be dark. You will need a good pair of scissors to cut out the body, that's all! 😎👍

Thanks, Harrison! I sprayed 3 light coats of blue and then a coat of silver and then a coat of black. Cheers! :)

@@MarkBryanRC Awesome. I put two coats of silver and I am waiting for them to dry so I can put on the black. Hopefully it turns out well. Thanks for all of the help. 👍🏾

@@harrisonneyland2750 No problem! Sounds like you body spraying is going well, just wait until you peel off that protective coating - my fave part! :D

@@MarkBryanRC Oh yeah I am very excited for that.

Hi there! The protective coat is a film of thin plastic attached to the outside of the Lexan body. It prevents any of the spray paint from getting onto the outside of the Lexan, you paint the body on the inside. Hope this helps! 👍

Hi Thomas! Well spotted! On this kit I've used a 2.4G receiver, and the antenna is too short to poke through the roof, hence I didn't make a hole! You only need the hole for a long antenna. All the best! :)

@@MarkBryanRC yup I'm using the 2.4 as well and I know mines short so all good 😎

@@twindram21 Nice one! Enjoy the rallying! :)

Hello! No, the drivers are not included in the kit. It's the Tamiya Rally Car Cockpit, part number OP1491. You can see it here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9OoqJN0rLrcipc.html

Hi there! OK thanks... Here is a link to the supplier I use on eBay. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/181024489629 They are the cheapest I've found - £2.82 for 50 M3x10mm button head screws! Free postage! They don't do packs for Tamiya kits, you just have to buy M3 screws of different lengths to match the length of the ones in the kit. I buy packs of 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 15mm screws and just use the Tamiya ones for longer screws as there is usually only a few long ones. Hope this helps - cheers!

@@MarkBryanRC thanks i bought 50 of each type thanks again

@@tuffbadger7342 Good news! No worries, dude! :))

You need to spray the inside of the body while the protective film is still on the outside. Remove the film after spraying. 😎👍

Thankyou very much, great video👍

@@user-lo8td6dm4d You are welcome Garth! Thanks and cheers! 😎👍

Certainly! The TT-02 Subaru '99 Tamiya kit was about £110, but with no electronics. I bought it from Time Tunnel Models.

Sorry, I have not seen any light buckets for this kit (certainly not from Tamiya). It may be possible to utilise generic light buckets if you can find any!

@@MarkBryanRC ok thanks

No, sadly this does not come with the LED option! :-/

Hi there! Yep, the protective coating is on the outside of the clear body and you spray the inside of the body. The prtective coating stops the outside from becoming scratched and from any overspray getting onto the outside of the Lexan (clear polycarbonate). I hope this helps.

@@MarkBryanRC Ah I see. That's awesome, thanks!!

@@vspectra You are always welcome! Thanks!

Hello, Jorge! I only needed 1 tin of Tamiya PS-16 to cover the body. I also used silver to "back" or cover the blue to make a brighter finish. Cheers! 😎👍

@@MarkBryanRC thanks mate!!

Any time, mate! 😎👊👍

Thanks again, Marco - all the best to you! :)

Yes, the Lexan is very thin on the lower parts of the body shell, mainly at the rear. But it is strong everywhere else, after a good run on rough ground, all is fine, nothing to worry about! :)

@@MarkBryanRC oh I see. Wonder if that is done to allow for the lexan to be less brittle. Glad to hear the shell holds up. I will be using your tips on the wheel arches inn the future.

@@Coonandfriendsify You could be right, there! I think it has a lot to do with the way the bodies are moulded from a single flat piece of Lexan, too. Hope the tip works well for you my friend! :)

Good point, Kian. Indeed, some kits do come with pre-cut stickers, but I prefer to cut them myself, as you can remove more of the surrounding clear plastic and also position them on the body with the backing still in place - I find it more accurate that way. All the best from Mark... :)

Yeah, blue, silver and finally black ⚫! 😁✌

The silver makes the blue shine brighter! 😁👍

Oh! That’s cool, I just bought the kit so I’ll follow your steps!

Nice one! 😁👍

The body comes with the coating already applied! 😎👍🏼

Oh

So did you just sprayed the color and pull it out I don't get it cuz I was planning on buying this

@@AnweshGope You spray the colour on the inside of the body. The protective layer is on the outside to stop any paint splashing onto the outside of the clear body 😎👍🏼

ok! but i need a tutorial cuz i am 13 yo
