I don't know? I havnt open the box to get it out . because it would hurt the saling price if some day I want to sale it.

Not the main body of the car where it's white, but there are parts that need to be painted. Especially on the roof. I had to buy about 6 different colors of paint I believe. Some of the color you see are from decals that need to be put on. So even though there are at least 6 colors of paint that need to be bought, not much needs painting on the car.

Yes and there are stickers too. The paint doesnt come in the box by the way... That's why it says is a "Model", but it should come with more specifications i think...

in order to get the model looking authentic, there is some painting involved. The instruction booklet tells you what paint colors are required. It's very easy and don't need much experience to make to look good.

I didn't have to paint it. My daughters Altima is black. I guess you could sand it and paint it whatever color you want. I would think they have different colors though.

I think you could paint it, with a primer. It's a little like veneer, so paint might not go on well by itself. It's a sturdy unit, but dings and chips easily. A good strong paint would improve it a lot.

Sorry I cannot give a definitive answer since I haven't tried to paint it. It is lighter than the picture shows, however, it is an attractive piece. As we know, for perfection and having it exactly was we want, you have to pay. Price is right for this one. I also don't know much about paints. I believe it is doable but would have to gently take the top finish off. It may take a little effort but again cannot make any guarantees. Hope that was somewhat helpful.

Yes, it can be painted. Must be good paint with a clear coat over, otherwise it will chip easily.

not necessary. it is painted very well, i don't think it could rust that easy.

Yes, it can be painted, but it should be abraded/primed so that it will accept & hold the paint without flaking.

You could paint. Or better to sand lightly, remove dust w tack cloth & stain&varnish.;

Yes you do have to use a better quality grade paint. And it also does not do well in cold weather.

You could probly paint on it with a nice acrylic or fabric paint. It's a fairly smooth fabric.

It is high gloss so you would have to sand it in order to paint it. If you have the time and want a specific look you cannot find else where than it may be worth the work.

It is unfinished. Whether or not you stain/paint depends on your style. We left it plain, but may paint at some point.

Yes u can have it painted .The cover is not snapped into the mirror when u buy it so u can drop the cover off at a body shop.

You would deffenantly have to sand it down first. The original paint would just bubble up underneath. If you read my review, the paint is the least of your worries.

No, you'll need to paint it yourself. I got my paint at Michaels, from a brand called testors. You'll need many different colors, so the initial investment will be around $10, but you'll have plenty left over for future projects.

Yes .... it's wood so should be fine. I didn't paint mine .. i like the natural wood .. but it depends on your decor.

Yes - I painted mine and it took paint well. i lightly sanded it - just roughed it up a bit - and painted it with 2 coats of paint. That was almost 4 years ago & it still looks great.
