Do this, if you really want, tape up the outside of the body just to be sure.I'd trim first so as not to crack....chip..spilt ect ur paint job?
Thought all bodies came with a protective film that covered the outside so you didnt have to tape it up....?Do this, if you really want, tape up the outside of the body just to be sure.
They do but Doug was worried about if it accedentally got messed up in the trimming process, so my response is just tape up the outside if your so worriedThought all bodies came with a protective film that covered the outside so you didnt have to tape it up....?

Always trim before painting. This is why: After trimming you may need to use sandpaper or a Dremel sander to ensure your edges are smooth--stuff like that. Why would you want to do that AFTER painting??so i have a paint job to do on my sx5 kit
