    Some bodies come with an over spray film on the outside of the body. If you spray over that, the paint will peel off in one big sheet ya, inside is the only way to go. Be careful with your masks too. Use good masking tape and make sure the edges are down good or the color will bleed under the tape. You can use the edge of a razor blade to "iron" out bubbles too.

    Thumbs up

    You should paint the inside of the body. You will get a much better shine and if you take your time it isn't much harder than just painting the outside of it. Least the first time you roll it on the top and slide it for 5 feet or so, it won't look as bad if you painted the outside...(most paint for this type of plastic is made for the inside,the paint drys much more flat than it looks).
