RC Model Car Shell Question
Right, I've a bit new to this;
I've bought a shell (1/10th) its clear lexan, and I'm totally useless at anything that involves any artistic flair. I'll be getting a Tamiya chassis for it I think.
My question is, can the shell be painted with propper car paint? The shell is a Subaru Legacy and I want to paint it the same colour as my road car (Titanium), but I guess the only way to match it is with Subaru Paint?
Anyone on here do anything with RC Cars? Ideally I'd like to find someone to paint it & cut it out etc for me as I'd make a right mess of it myself!
PS. Anyone know where to get propper replica RC wheels rather than just generic type spoked ones?

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Wheels of all shapes and sized can be had from good model shops or online, Tamiya are great for their detail, as for the paint, I never had any issues using normal car paint, not to sound padantic, but you paint the inside and the lexan being clear gives it a nice glossy look, the key is just to take your time, use some very sharp sissors (sp) for the main parts an a sharp craft knife for the fiddly bits, then smooth it down with some wet and dry.
