CarLover Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 (edited) Hey I recently started the new latest kit from aoshima, the pagani huayra. The body paint is alclad pale gold as a base, and on the top is alclad candy red, came out amazing! Still need to sand off some dust that sticks to the paint. And then diamonds clear coat from zero paints. The engine is painted in steel with some gold touches and polished aluminum. My first time that i do a heat effects for the exhaust system, what do you think? Its also have 4-pieces metal exhaust pipes. A lot of parts need to get carbon fiber decals (engine head, roof, side skirts, door panels, interior, etc) But i don't have yet the correct CF pattern, so i ordered it, hopefully it will came soon. But i put some CF on the front piece (where the radiator and front suspension). So, what do you think? Let me know! Thanks for watching Edited March 21, 2017 by CarLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Superb start! That paint looks great, but because it is a candy, be careful how you sand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennyg Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Wow! Very nice. The heat effects look ace. Is this going together as well as a tamiya kit? I have one in my stash and hope to be able to use carbon fibre decals like you are. Will be watching. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 As others have said the paint looks great !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Paint looks great. I would not try sanding the candy. Try some polishing compound on the dust spots, if they are not too deep they will come right off. Then hot soapy water to get the polishing compound off.

Dann Tier Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 VERY nice start!!, I was wondering when someone was going to get around to building this. Ordered mine from a local hobby shop to help them out, but still haven't received a word on it, and that was in November. Shoulda just ordered from Japan. Anyway, Your build is looking great!!
