Most metal bodies come painted and finished.
There is a diecast section if you want to have a look at http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...=&forumid=1144

I think he's referring to the Tamiya special edition kits that has the bodyshell pre-metal coated, not the die-cast cars.
I don't think they should be painted (that would just cover up the metal plating!) but anyone know if clearcoat is needed? Or polish? Been trying to get my hands on a Tamiya metal plated 360 Modena but no luck...

I don't know who would want a chrome car, but the plated body can be used as a super reflective undercoat for candy and pearl paint jobs. Other than that I don't see the purpose.
