Prepare the body for paint
Wash the inside of the body with liquid soap and water. Then rinse off all the soap, and dry completely with a clean towel. Find the window masks that came with your shell and stick them on the inside of the body using the window lines as reference points. Firmly press down on the edges of the window masks with your finger nails to ensure no bleeding of the paint. Once the windows are masked off take the steel wool, fine wet sandpaper or scotch brite padand scuff the inside of the body until it becomes cloudy. This step will help ensure that the paint adheres to the body and won�t be noticed after the body is painted. (If you are using chrome paint do not include this step, this will cause the chrome to have a brushed finish). "
