Quite simply really. I'm guessing that paint job was a purple pearl, backed with black. Pearls are quite translucent by themselves and required covering in either silver (for a light bright, possibly pink finish) or black for a dark stunning finish.
Paint as follows - (Remember always paint on the inside of shell!)
Mount body on car, mark body post positions and drill out.
Throughly wash shell in soapy water, use a light scouring pad to rough up the paint areas (i.e NOT windows)
Dry well and stick on window stickers, if you dont have any, use masking tape
Spray 1 light coat of pearl into body. Use a hairdryer to dry it quickly.
Spray 1 more light coat and dry
Spray 1 heavyish coat, dry for about a minute
Once your happy with the paint coverage (check against a light to see where the paint is heavy or light covered, re-spray areas to match), paint a light coat of black on top. Dry for 1 min.
Spray 1 heavy coat of black so that NO pearl is visible inside. Dry for 1 min
Most important - Put in airing cupboard for 24 hours before you do anything else. This will let the paint dry properly.
Then you can remove the protective film, cut it to shape and fit the decals.
Hope that helps
btw, for desent paint, use either Custom Colours or Pactra. Both available at

. Secondly not all shells are for nitro. Thirdly, painted windows = the gay!
