New Body Shell - Looks Slightly Opaque


NutsyDuts

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

After a bit of advice.  I recently bought a couple of body shells from L&L models (escort cosworth) with a view to painting/putting decals on them.   They both look a little hazy/cloudy over the windows and roof area, but are clearer and more transparent towards the bottom of shell.

 

Is this normal or am I missing something? Is this something a good clean will sort or is there another way to remove the cloudiness/haze?  I'm also not sure whether they have a protective film that can be removed - I can't see one, but want to make sure before I start applying stickers to it.

 

Any advice appreciated!

 

Many thanks

they usually do have a film on the outside of the shell and that could be causing the opaqueness

try scratching it at a corner with your finger nail and see if the film starts to peel off
