Here's mine.

The black body isn't really a paint job. Just the standard black 30 North body with Losi decals/liveries.

Second gray body is a clear 30 North body w/ a silver painted cage and Honda Gray Anvil coloured body paint.

Is the grey one painted or is that color of plastic? I was just thinking the other day how nardo grey would look awesome on these bodies!

It's painted using Honda CRV Anvil factory paint. The 30N bodies are a MAJOR pita to paint though. It's rough oily surface makes it really difficult. The fact that the body is flexible means the paint will peel easily if you get into a crash. This is the main reason people usually choose to go with the wraps instead of painting it.

We paint flexible plastics for automotive use all the time, plenty of primers, and flex agents to make paint stick to all sorts of plastic. Just cannt be a cheap arse about it and you need to know what type of plastic you are painting.

why shouldnt the paint flex with the plastic?
