circles.
Step 3. Make two 5/16" (8mm) diameter holes in the rear of the body at the locations marked with a small hole or dimple.

Prepare the body shell for painting by washing it thoroughly with warm water and a small amount of liquid detergent. Dry the body with a clean,
soft cloth. Use the window masks (185), supplied with the kit, to cover the window areas from the inside. A high-grade masking tape should be
used on the inside of the body to mask off any stripes, panels, or designs that you wish to paint on the body. Use acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel,
or any other Lexan (Polycarbonate) recommended paints. Apply paint to the inside of the body. Remove the tape for the area that you wish to
apply the next color to and continue with the next color. Try to use the darker colors first. If you use a dark color after a light color, apply a thin
coat of white over the lighter color before continuing with the darker color.
Cut the stickers from the sticker sheet (186) that you wish to use. Before removing the protective backing, find the desired location for the
sticker. Remove the backing completely and reattach an edge of the sticker to the shiny side of the backing paper. Using the rest of the backing
as a handle, position the sticker above the desired location and press it firmly into place to complete its application.
