Beautiful work. So you shot TS-13 out of the can over an acrylic paint? Didn't think that would be wise, (lacquers too hot for acrylics and all that) but obviously, your results show otherwise. Nicely done.
Nice take on a subject that's not seen every day. If the color coat was as "glittery" as you say, I think you made the right call not to wet sand it unless you were willing to shoot another light top coat of color to even things out before the clear. Regardless, the end result looks good to me...
Nice job on that side trim - funny, I had the same issues on the right fender that you did. And kudos to you for getting that nice, thin line around the wheel openings. That's not easy on this kit.
Oh, and love the color choice.
Well done!
