White body kit Abarth 500

The NSR Abarth 500 body shell, in white and ready to become your most personal creation

The White Body Kit nsr1363 is the complete body shell of the NSR Abarth 500 delivered in white, with no decoration applied. This makes it the ideal starting point for those who want to paint and customise their slot car with complete freedom: whether replicating a real competition livery, designing their own decoration, or practising miniature painting techniques.

Main features

• Complete body shell of the NSR Abarth 500 model in undecorated white finish.
• Manufactured from the same material and using the same moulds as the decorated NSR versions, ensuring direct fit and compatibility.
• Surface ready to receive paint, decals, or vinyl without the need for special prior preparation.
• Official NSR reference: nsr1363.

Preparation and painting

Before applying colour, we recommend cleaning the body shell with warm water and a little neutral soap to remove any possible mould release residue. A light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper (600-800) improves adhesion if you are going to paint with an airbrush or brush. Brands such as Vallejo, Tamiya, or Kaleido offer primers and paints specifically for plastic that work very well on this type of body shell.

If you are looking for a realistic competition finish, high-quality water slide decals applied over a glossy varnish base and sealed with a matte or satin finish varnish yield professional results. For custom or fantasy liveries, acrylic paint with an airbrush is the most versatile and controllable option.

Compatibility and assembly

As an official NSR piece, this body shell fits directly onto the brand's chassis designed for the Abarth 500, without modifications. If you have doubts about compatibility with a specific chassis, check the corresponding NSR chassis reference before purchasing.

Ideal for…

• Slot enthusiasts who want to customise their car with their own or club team colours.
• Collectors looking to replace a damaged body shell while maintaining the original NSR base.
• Modellers who wish to practise miniature painting techniques on a real slot car body.
• Teams and clubs wanting a uniform aesthetic with their own design.

Points to consider

This reference includes only the body shell in white. The chassis, motor, wheels, and other components are not included. Check compatibility with your current NSR chassis if the goal is a direct replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to prime the body shell before painting?

It is not strictly necessary, but it is highly recommended. A good plastic primer improves paint adhesion, prevents chipping, and allows for better surface appreciation before applying colour. Vallejo and Tamiya have specific options for plastic in spray and jar for airbrush.

What type of paint works best on these body shells?

Acrylic model paints (Vallejo, Tamiya, Kaleido) are the most commonly used due to their ease of use, quick drying, and good coverage. You can also use enamels, although they require longer drying times and specific solvents. The airbrush provides the best finishes, but a fine brush is perfectly valid for details.

Is it compatible with chassis from other brands?

As an official NSR body shell, it is designed and fitted for NSR chassis of the Abarth 500. Compatibility with chassis from other brands is not guaranteed and may require adaptations. Consult with us if you have questions about your setup.

Can I use water slide decals on this body shell?

Yes. First, apply a layer of glossy varnish on the area where you will place the decal, wait for it to dry completely, apply the decal, and once dry, seal with matte or satin varnish to integrate and protect it.

Does the body shell include a windscreen or other transparent elements?

The available information indicates that it is the complete body shell in white. To confirm if it includes transparent parts or other components, consult the official NSR datasheet or contact us directly.
