    Question on Race Bodywork

    Dumb question - just got a new set of Hotbodies Racing bodywork and I'm wondering if I need to do any kind of prep work on it before applying a vinyl wrap? Sanding, epoxy, etc?

    That would be wise. They come from the factory pretty rough. At least a basic hand sand, and then rub the bodywork with alcohol.

    Do they come primed or gel-coated? If they are primed you may want to re-prime them after light hand sanding.
