This has had a coat of Zero Grey Primer
A coat of thinned Zero Black (it was called gloss black, but these lacquer base coats always turn out in a satin finish
then masked the black bits and coated in Aston Martin Blue - the same proscale paint used on my Mazda Mx5 - It was difficult to get an even coating, so i probably applied too much & coated the black too thick. But its good enough for me, I waan't going to go over it again...
then applied decals - added a few additional decals to fill the gaps.
I did use Microsol, and that left stains, when I cleaned the car for top coating, the decals came loose, so had to try to re-stick with microsol... eventually coated in Proscale 2k - this time I did add a little Mr Color self levelling thinner.
The result as seen is not as deep a colour as the spoon test, but a darker blue than the MX5, the gloss top coat is orange peely, and has a few pits, but minimal dust - which is a bonus - I was woried about sanding / polishing the paint with the decal underneath.
Next up is polishing....
