Cien1986 Posted July 12, 2013 Author Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) lately i manage to paint the outer body shell, in body painting process i spray the black colour about 2 layer then i wet sand it then lay another black paint coat before putting clear coat offcourse not forget to lay some decal before clear coating this is the semi finished body shell not yet pollish then i continue the polishing job " difficult to work with and very time consuming my first experience" the step i use is wet sanding with #2500 sand paper then polishing it with #3000 polishing compound lastly final polishing job is turtle wax polishing compound this is the back side which is not yet pollish its shiny because of new clear coat but it not reflect the light well you can see the ligh reflection is blurry not like the picture before it reflect the light and the object clearly after seeing this it give me motivation to polish all the clear coat surface and all the hard work worth the effort thanks for the viewing and comments Edited July 12, 2013 by Cien1986 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Great progress but sorry to hear about the hood. The wheels look magnificent. Are the headlight covers the clear parts that came with the kit? If so, did they fit that well or did you have to shape them? I've built this kit a couple times and didn't have the foresight to test fit those covers and then found they did not fit and didn't bother using them.

I've built this kit a couple times and didn't have the foresight to test fit those covers and then found they did not fit and didn't bother using them. Dear Curtis... Big thanks for the comment... actually the head lamp cover i used came with kit... yes they not fit really well in my opinion... the problem is headlamp cover doesn't have any knockdown system or edge to allow the cover to sit perfectly on the body so the trick i use is using CA glue but adjustable below 1 minutes (not instant bond) i put the glue on the body part on the edge of the head lamp shell not the head lamp cover So you can adjust the cover to sit perfectly right and yet not fall down because the strength of CA glue.. it work just fine with me Important you must use solvent free ca glue so it can use on any clear part and clear coat safe and dry perfectly clear i use UHU Super strong and safe Solvent free it dries clear. i always use it on clear part....
