Usually, body kit is built on the body, not separately. Epoxy doesn't grab smooth plastic, so when using it to make a body kit, it's recommended to use a coarse sand paper such as 180 or 240 grit and sand the contact surface. Or, build a body kit on the smooth body, insert a blade to remove the body kit, after it's hardened, then use super glue or epoxy glue to glue it back to secure the bond, so that the body kit doesn't fall off.
