brett Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Pretty much box stock, only deviation was I drilled out the kits radio face and put in a cd and a set of keys in the ignition. I used Lazy Modeller paint masks, awesome product thats fairly priced, wet sanded the black base coat the left it for a couple of months(building other projects) laid mask in place and primered gently over the mask them mixed the off white on the front which I faded out part way where the yellow would be. Then applied gold base coat from the back to where it just started overlapping the cream(off white). Then sprayed yellow candy from partway through the cream to just past where the orange candy would start, then the orange over lapping the yellow to almost the ends then a red candy overlapping the orange to the ends of the licks then misted it around the ends of the shorter licks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cleared with Dupli color Acrylic/Enamel straight from the rattle can 1 mist then 2 wet coats 20 minutes or so, after after a couple of days drying flattened it back with a superfine fingernail polish stick, Then a quick application of Tamiya fine then finish polishes , and lastly a quick rub over with Mequires car wax. All up from the sanding stick to wax is about 30 minutes at most. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
