Hey All

Very new here and new to modeling (well its been awile anyways). Just got the Revell Shelby GT500 1/12 scale kit in the mail today.

Well I got the block halfs glued together and the bottom side if the motor sanded smoth.

For the body of the car I sanded some casting lines out of in them wet sanded it with IDK maby 500-600 grit and just go done primering it.

I used krylon rubby brown primer out of a can (IDk if this in normal but the cans almost gone LOL).

Question when I wet sand the primer what grit should I use? I was thinking 2K grit.

Update today

Well today Im back at it again. Got the motor, oil pan, and supercharger painted krylon matte silver.For the Headers i scraped the casting lines off so there smother looking now, them I used krylon metalic stainless steel. When I spraid the stainless steel the metalic started building up on the headers so what I did was after they dried I took a dry wash cloth and wiped away all the exess* metalic. Over all I think it turned out good.

The pic on the right is before and the pic on the left is after I wiped away all the exess* metalic

Sorry for the crappy pics.
