What is the best way to mask and paint this shell?

Use low-tack masking tape and polycarbonate-specific paints, apply thin coats and allow adequate drying time between layers to prevent runs and maintain gloss.

Do I need special tools to cut and hole the body?

A sharp pair of scissors or a hobby knife is fine for trimming, and a body reamer or step drill works best for clean mounting holes without cracking the plastic.

How do I protect decals after applying them?

Once decals are set, a light spray of clear polycarbonate-safe lacquer or thin coats of clear paint will help lock them down and reduce wear.

Is trimming required to fit wider tyres?

If you plan to run wider tyres, test fit first and trim the inner arch gradually; maintain a little extra clearance to avoid rubbing when the suspension compresses.

Can I swap the supplied wing for an aftermarket unit?

Yes, aftermarket wings can be fitted but you may need to drill new mounting holes or adapt the mounting area to match different hardware.
