Needed very little body work, just sanded down with some 220 grit, primed where I went down to the metal.

Came out okay. I used to paint cars and I used a harbor freight HVLP gun. Big mistake! The gun was spitting and I could not adjust the pattern. I tried thinning the paint, adjusting the pressure and it just was so uneven. I did the best I could with what I had. It's an off road toy so I really don't mind too much but I was disappointed with the equipment.

Going to finish the lower portion of the body with some herculiner and be done with it.
