Does it comes in pre-painted color, or just plain black ABS plastic? If not, can it be painted to match the body color? Is primer required?

They come in black plastic, yes they can be painted, yes you should use primer

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

Yes....It comes black from factory...If you need paint match you will have to exchange covers.

The model is black. You can pAint it if you like, I thought it looked decent unpainted.

The bumper is powder coated back and the finish is not glossy like paint. The powder coat base can be used as a primer.

It's just a clear body and that's all. You need to paint, trim, and make holes for body posts. But decals are included.

Yes, it came in black and then I had it painted to match my car which is blue. It was a great buy. The autobody place I took it for painting and installation said I was a very savvy shopper to buy it through Amazon. I saved $200.

The body is clear and can be painted. It comes with a few sticker decals though.

You would need to use a metal primer first, but yes this could be spray painted a different color and still look good. I would assume you would need several coats of the new color.

Go to a local model shop and buy a small $5 can of flat brown spray. Its the easiest to apply and looks great. Everythign will look even versus looking clunky like someone painted it. 95% is flat broan, everythign else is small detail. This was very easy to get going. Its the shields and oars that get tedious...

Even though I managed to spray paint (white ) using a cheap spray can of paint it is better to scrap the original black paint and apply a coat of appropriate primer and then the required color paint. That way it will be more durable and much more appealing . My van being more than 13 years old I don't want to spend too much on it that is why I just sprayed it without bothering to remove the original paint (black)it came with

Mine looked to be made of Black Plastic Material and it had a shinny and smooth surface. The truck is gone so I cant go out to verify. As with just about any surface, I would imagine one could properly rough up the surface to accept the proper automotive paint without a hitch.

I painted mine black to match an outdoor gate using spray Vinyl Dye. It eats into the plastic a bit to actually dye the material (not just laying a layer of paint on top) and it worked with just a few coats. Cheap, easy, and the result blends in well with the installation.

It is not pre painted. The runners are multiple colors so painting isn't strictly necessary; it'll look pretty cool without. That said, if you want to do panel lining that will improve the look, and if you have a talent for painting you can certainly make it pop better than the plastics.

Hi, well the model only comes with the self adhesive decals, and everything else is pure plastic pieces. Need to but the paint in different colors. It includes a guide for them. Have a good one!

yes it was complete, but the black paint did look a bit thin, like a black primer. I was very happy with the product.
