I need some opinion whose already tried this themselves.
I'm going to use just regular spray paint after i've cleaned off the body in paintthinner. After everything is done and painted, how does the paintjob hold up?
I'm not sure what powercoating is and who could do it for me either...

I've heard good things about http://members.home.com/sincustom/1024x768.html ... decent prices too...will hold up MUCH longer than spraypaint, more durable than ano

I used metal spray paint on my grey pf body to make it black. As long as u know how to use spraypaint it looks fine. I used matte black and its a nice alternative to the grey body. however after playing with it for about a half a year it has lost paint in a few tiny places but for spray painting it worked well. i heard great things about powercoating and its really cheap u should search for that. a guy on her does it actually but i dont remeber his name. good luck. if i get a pic ill post it here of what it looks like.

Spray paint WILL hold up if you put a clear enamel over it, and you could touch it up with black nail polish. For the price, your better off going with RedRider.
