FAQs
What type of paint should I use for this bodyshell?
You should use paints specifically formulated for polycarbonate RC car bodies. These paints are flexible and designed to adhere to the material.
Does this bodyshell come painted?
No, the Arrma Kraton 6S BLX Clear Bodyshell (ARA406158) comes unpainted. It is intended for custom painting by the user.
What is included with the bodyshell?
The product includes the clear polycarbonate bodyshell and a sheet of decals for finishing.
Can I use this bodyshell on other Arrma models?
This bodyshell is specifically designed for the Arrma Kraton 6S BLX. Fitment on other models is not guaranteed and may require modifications.
How do I prepare the bodyshell before painting?
Clean the inside of the bodyshell thoroughly with mild soap and water to remove any residue. Then, carefully mask off the windows and any areas you do not want painted.
Where are the cutting lines for the bodyshell?
Cutting lines are typically molded into the polycarbonate or indicated by a fine line. Refer to any included instructions or visual guides for precise trimming.
Troubleshooting
Paint bleeding under mask lines
Ensure masking tape is securely adhered to the surface. Apply paint in very light coats to minimize the chance of paint seeping. Consider using liquid mask for more complex or detailed designs.
Bodyshell doesn't fit correctly
Verify that you have the correct Arrma Kraton 6S BLX model. Ensure no excess plastic or flashing remains from the manufacturing process. Check for any potential chassis modifications that might interfere with fitment.
Decals are difficult to apply smoothly
Slightly dampen the surface with water or an appropriate decal solution. Position the decal, then gently squeegee out air bubbles and excess liquid from the center outwards.
Paint chipping or cracking
Ensure you are using paints specifically designed for polycarbonate RC car bodies. Apply thin, even coats and allow sufficient curing time. Avoid using overly rigid paint that may not flex with the body.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Compatibility: This clear bodyshell is exclusively designed for the Arrma Kraton 6S BLX model. Ensure your model number matches before purchase.
Setup:
- Clean: Thoroughly wash and dry the inside of the bodyshell with a mild soap and water to remove any manufacturing oils or dust.
- Masking: Carefully apply masking tape or liquid mask to the areas you do not wish to paint. For detailed designs, use a hobby knife to cut out intricate shapes in the masking.
- Painting: Apply your chosen polycarbonate-compatible paints in light, even coats. Multiple thin coats are recommended over one heavy coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
- Decals: Once the paint is fully cured, carefully apply the included decals as desired.
- Trimming & Mounting: Trim the edges of the bodyshell according to any provided cut lines. Mount the bodyshell onto your Arrma Kraton 6S BLX using the appropriate clips and hardware.
Care: To maintain the appearance of your painted bodyshell, avoid harsh chemicals. Clean with a damp cloth. For minor scratches on the exterior (which is the painted side), they may be visible. The internal paint layer offers protection against abrasion during normal use.
