I’d say a light wetsand and that’ll be good to go…have you picked a color yet?

Thanks… I’ll give it a a light wet sanding as you suggest… Paint will most likely be pearl white and metalic orange… Tamiya spray paint…

Setting some details… the wheels aren’t the ones that will go on the model… I’m having some issues with the paint on the other set of wheels…

Well you gotta be able to roll it in and out of the fab shop eh?? Cute looking project you’ve got going on here Roberto. I like it!? And some great fab work you are doing too.

Thanks… This is what I started with…

Was able to put some paint on it… Tamiya metalic orange and pearl white… has a little mishap on the front panel, I’ll try to retouch it tomorrow. Using these rims for mock-up… the other set went kaput while trying to remove some paint from them. Ordered a new set on eBay, we’ll see how this turns out ??‍♂️?
