2015 Mustang in 4 Hours Including Paint

This came this morning in the mail. I thought it was a good hot day to do a quick build. I primed it with Tamiya Grey Primer and then painted it Testors Grabber Blue and Wet Look Clear primer. Detailed the headlights using fine sharpies and Tamiya clear orange, just need a steady hand. The tail lights were also painted with Tamiya clear red over the prepainted one supplied. I had to lower the stance, which is very easy to do.

A very nice simple kit. I only wish it had outside mirrors.

Hope you like it.

Thanks guys. The headlights are a lot easier than it looks. 1st google 2015 Mustang images and get a good pic. of the headlights. Remove the pre-installed headlight by just prying them out. All the the sharpie work will be done on the outside of the lens, because they are painted silver on the inside. I used a large Sharpie to do the surround and an extra fine for defining the parking, turn signals and headlights. If you make a mistake, just polish it out and try again.

It took me 2 minutes per side.

Thanks for the re-assurance, sounds do-able for sure.

4 hours?

Unbelievable. Hard to imagine parting line cleanup, priming, primer drying, painting, color coat curing, clear-coating, clear coat curing enough to handle for final assembly without fingerprint embossing! Heck, it almost took four hours to type that out!

Good job over all; great job considering the time element.
