I've recently purchased a limited edition of 5 series model car, it's 1:18 scale and produced by Kyosho. I am going to convert this to my car's color. Do you need to remove the original paint before spray on the new color?









Cheers!

Kyosho models are sooooo much better than Maisto. I would fully take apart that model and sound down the paint before spraying it.
