That brings up a question I've been meaning to ask. Has anyone ever painted a body from the outside ?? Aside from scratches and rub marks showing up more, I've always wondered why we paint bodies from the inside. I would think the ability to touch up damage would be a huge benefit.
Personally I think its for the simple reasons there is more rubbing and wrecking in our hobby then in real life. And it allows the looks to be maintained longer.

Think about an 1/8th scale nitro buggy and how many times you see them marshaled from their roofs. Paint job wouldnt last more then 1 race. Again this is just my opinion on it.
