dude....
dude why don't you just mask it and paint it yourself? its really not that hard... im about to make chrome paint on mine! really it only takes like 5 min. just mask the car the stripes you want and spray it down! but make sure to mask the whole car.

If I can paint these things anyone can. Try it yourself a few times before you give up.

well im being more confident now because my frist one failed only because i didnt use a knife and i also used clear tape *stupid me* and it ended up getting under it a bit and bled
*edit* i just tinted my windows with electric tape and a pocket knife to get some practice in on maskin for later on and it came out well
*edit* so slot car clear cover bodies are how much??

I would be willing to help anyone out, but I don't think it would be worth the cost and risk to ship me your body, when you could do it yourself. It is not very hard, just take your time. The good thing about the tape is if you mess up, pull it off and do over. Dont cut your stripes while they are on the body. I lay out the tape on the back of adhesive paper, then cut and remove to stick on. You can also buy color decal sheets that you just cut and remove. You will be much more proud of your car when you know you did it. If you still can't do it, I will be happy to help you out any way I can.
I myself will be experimenting on masking and painting bodies.
