9 coats of paint underneath and the joints all seam sealed and will never be out over the winter period so id say she will be fine without. im going to waxoyl inside the chassis tho.

Great rebuild!
BTW: are you sure the original color is 8a9? IMO it looks a lot lighter than the other 8a9 painted cars I've seen so far!

If you read carefully you'll notice it's 8C4....the car came from the factory in 8A9.

That's why I wrote original color and not current color...
Robokill's and MatthewG's cars both currently got 8A9 and are much darker than the first pictures in this topic. That's why I'm asking.
