Abstract: This article gives estimates on the covering numbers and diameters of random proportional sections and projections of quasi-convex bodies in $\mathbb{R}^n$. These results were known for the convex case and played an essential role in the development of the theory. Because duality relations cannot be applied in the quasi-convex setting, new ingredients were introduced that give new understanding for the convex case as well.
