It's gorgeous! I'd be really happy if you finished it and shared the final pictures with us

I am in love with that truck! That's what I call talent!

I think you're the definition of "talent".

I'm speechless.

This is just stunning! Great job, mrmike! SLS is one of my favorite cars, too bad I don't see it too often.. I can't wait for another pictures

This looks really good! It requires a lot of skill!

The paint job on this Mustang looks amazing! I love it!

Thank you soooo much for taking the time to give me this greats advice, I really appreciate it, it's very helpful! I was thinking of creating a topic, where I would post picture updates of this project (If that's not considered spam on this forum, of course). I would appreciate if someone told me what section of the forum it could belong to. I only have one question. Charlie said: "2. Primer. I CANNOT emphasize enough to prime your parts thoroughly, using a good grade of sandable primer. I earnestly urge you to obtain Plasti-Kote T-235 sandable primer, which is available at Car-Quest auto parts stores. Be sure to thoroughly prime the body and all other parts prior to painting. The gray primer is a good start for most colors you'll be using on this model. Apply the primer in light coats and sand in-between each coat with 600 or 1000-grit wet-dry sandpaper. Keep the parts wet while sanding, it'll reduce dust build-up and result in a smoother primer/paint job. For your final primer coat, given the size of the model, I would suggest using a final finish sand of at least 1500 grit, which will make it nearly glass-smooth. Your local Ace, True Value and Do-It Best stores carry variety packs of wet/dry sandpaper for automotive use (which you need), at reasonable prices. " I sound kind of confusing for me. So after I was the (for example) body kit, I should spray it with the PlastiKote T-235 Gray Sandable Primer, let it dry, sand it, add another layer, let it dry, sand it, and repeat it a few times, and then spray it with the spray paint? Once again, thank you very much. I think I am soon going to order a Tamiya TS-50 Blue Mica Lacquer Spray Paint 3 oz.

Hello everyone. I'm Adam and I am totally new to this forum and I'm not sure where I should post it. If I posted it in a wrong section and I caused any problems by that, I am sorry. Here is the thing. In my high school, there is thing called "a personal project". We basically have to do ANYTHING we want. We have until May. So I got myself a Revell 1/12 Shelby. This is practically going to be my first model (I put some models together a few years ago, but I didn't do a good job. I didn't even paint them, they were ugly). I want to take my time and make this model look PERFECT! So I have a few questions. I hope some of you could help me. First of all, what spray paints do you guys recommend? I bought one on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/350872021800?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2648 - Do you think it's going to be good for spraying the body kit? I have to order all of the sprays online, because I live in Chicago, where if you didn't know selling paint sprays is illegal. Alright, next question. Do you guys have any general tips for me? Like I said, I want to do a good job on this model. Do you think I should spray paint small parts too? Or should I use a brush for those? Okay, I am sorry that it's really long. This is the last question. At the first page of the instruction I have all the colors labeled (Color = *letter*). And there is a small problem. Most parts are gray, but (for example) seats are black. And according to the key, they are supposed to be painted black. Should I paint them black? Again? Or should I just leave them they way they are? Have you aver had any experience with such a thing? I believe it would've been easier if every part was gray. Once again, I am sorry this post is this long, but it's also important for me. Thank you guys
