caps lock bro....lol...but yea I take the clear body and line it up nice on the posts. I just use a sharpie to put dots on the overspray film where the posts touch. This way you can even it out instead of just cut the holes right away. then the rest....

Its not just the paint but some sort of additive to make it bond to the body.

pactra makes faskolors. they can be mixed and sprayed through an airbrush.  
 
that is what i use sometimes. they also use flakes that is a fine powder. it can be used as flakes or you can dump 3/4 the tube for a glitter effect(like my ae86)
