crazyrichard Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) bad news i wanted to glue in the windows .. and well i was so carefull but some glue got on the side of the body , dont understand how .. i was able to polish it .. smooth but the shine never became the same .. the good news is i therefore gave it a nother coat of clear ... and when i saw that a nother one ... and man it became soo smooth and soo deep ... just like a mirror now .. so i learned that when i build up layers of this clear coats every time it gets more flat and deeper here is the result > the body was just on the counter and the littke signs on the wall .... whow then did the hood .. to keep it the same and you really saw the difefrence when the hood didnt have a nother coats or 2 just like glas / a mirror its really that smooth so i learned a cool thing for next builds .. because i did thicker and muyltiple coats i will let it sit in teh closet until the weekend .. iw as actually planning of having it asembled this evening lol and well tbh on the right side at the bottom there is like a wide runner / thickness difefrence in the clear .. due to all the mayhem when it got damaged ... but its so reflective you can hardly see it due to the reflections ... ps i am known for weathering and filth lol but now well this got to get me in the shiney club also right ???

bobthehobbyguy Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Great save on the paint. What do you use for glueing the windows? I use white glue , its easy to clean up and will not damage the paint or the windows. Have to say that paint is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyrichard Posted March 5, 2014 Author Share Posted March 5, 2014 did the inside of the bonnet matt black and the hose on top of the radiator matt black the pins inside the hood i made and placed myself they make sure the hood is level with the fenders when its on very carefully did a dryfit with the grille and bumper tryed on the spotlights .. and the chrome on the black really makes it ... cant waight to see the wheels under it .. but i have to be patient and handle the body with care .. i use a sorft cloth to hold it fiingerprints are a nightmare you see every toutch and then i need to clean them off again lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
