Ideal for…

This body is designed for various types of enthusiasts:

• Those who prefer a completely original and personalised decoration.
• The preparer looking for a replacement body for their existing Sideways setup.
• The modeller who combines slot racing with painting and diorama techniques.

Preparation and Painting Tips

As this is a white piece, the finishing process is as important as the body itself. Some practical notes:

• Lightly sand with fine-grit sandpaper (600-800) before priming to remove any mould imperfections.
• Apply a coat of primer before painting, especially if you are going to use water-based paints like Vallejo or Tamiya. This improves adhesion and colour uniformity.
• For glossy finishes like GT, polyurethane or enamel paints yield excellent results. Kaleido offers specific references for slot that perform very well on injected plastic.
• If you are going to apply decals, use a decal fixative and seal with glossy acrylic varnish to protect the decoration.
• Work in thin layers and allow to dry properly between applications.

Aspects to Consider

This reference is exclusively the body. It does not include chassis, motor, wheels or electronics. Check the rest of the Sideways catalogue if you need the complete set or complementary parts. Also verify compatibility with your chassis before placing the order.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does it include decals or decoration stickers?

No. The white kit version is delivered without any decoration, decals or car number. Customisation is entirely the responsibility of the enthusiast.

Which chassis is this body compatible with?

The SWBM4 body is designed to fit the Sideways chassis corresponding to the M4 GT3. If you have questions about specific compatibilities, please consult us before ordering.

What paints do you recommend for painting this body?

Vallejo, Tamiya and Kaleido are solid references for injected plastic. The most important thing is to prime well before painting and work with thin layers to avoid losing definition in the details of the body.

Can I use it to replace the body of my decorated Sideways M4 GT3 that had an accident?

Yes, it is a very common option. As the body is bare, you can repaint it replicating the original livery of your car or take the opportunity to give it a completely new decoration.

Does Sideways manufacture resin bodies?

No. Sideways works with injected plastic, not resin. If you are looking for resin bodies at an industrial level, brands like Avant Slot cover that segment.
