Frequently Asked Questions

• When I purchase a body, does it come painted like the ones in the magazine?
  No. All our bodies are sold clear, and it is up to you to create a paint scheme for it.
• How do I paint my body?
  Refer to our Body Painting and Trimming Tips portion of our website.
• Can I buy stickers of the brand names I see on the cars in the magazines?
  You may be able to find the sticker sheet you want at your local hobby shop. Most of the bodies shown in PROTOform ads, however, have painted on logos, so finding a similar sticker sheet might be difficult. Our PROTOform Team Decal sheet is available for those who want extra sizing and color options for branding their bodies.
  What is window mask?
• The window masks are used for masking off the windows, so they will remain clear after you paint the body. PROTOform has designed and cut out each window mask to precisely fit each body style. In some cases the body will not include window masks, such as F1 and 1:8 On- Road bodies.
• Do I get anything with the body?
  In most cases the decals included specific headlights, taillights, grills and details for the type of body. Also you get PROTOform and vehicle brand name logos.
• What do your bodies come with?
  All PROTOform bodies include decals, window mask and catalog. In most cases a molded in or attachable spoiler and hardware for attaching the spoiler will also be included. 
• What is included on the decal sheets that come with the PROTOform bodies?
  The decals are specific headlights, taillights, grills and details for the type of body, if applicable. Also you get vehicle brand name logos (if applicable) & PROTOform logos. Hand Painted designs pictured on an advertisement are not always included on the decal sheet.
• How do I mount my body?
  Mounting bodies can be quite tricky. But we have found that the easiest way to mount a body with no premarked holes is to first set the body on the vehicle, and draw with a marker or compass where you want the holes to be on the outside of the body. After you paint it you can easily cut the holes in where you have marked.
• Is it possible to have a body custom made?
  Unfortunately, we do not currently offer this option. However, we appreciate your feedback and will take your suggestions into consideration for future product ideas.
• Can I purchase older discontinued bodies from PROTOform or Pro-Line?
  Unfortunately, when an item is discontinued there is no stock remaining and it is no longer available. Our best recommendation is to check with your local hobby retailers or on the internet to locate these items.
• Does PROTOform offer any painting services?
  Unfortunately, we do not offer any type of painting services at this time.
