Here is another Porsche from my stash. It will be black with Grey interior.

First nice day off that I can spray.

The Kit Wheels

Body before paint.

After paint. for some reason the paint seemed to go on hazy on the top part of the body.

All comments Welcomed

Andre, I should have taken advantage of the outdoor painting weather as well. Another Porsche off to a great start.

Is this an Fujimi kit? Looks good!

[Scalper]

Yes Fujimi. Black star kit curb side. Going to post more pics soon.

Well the paint job is not the best. I may still be able to fix it with some sanding.

Model is coming along interior all painted and ready to be put together.

Thanks for looking.

Black Star is coming together.

body is now glued on.

Thanks for looking.

Any tips on how to smooth the paint out would be great.

[ZTony8]

To smooth the paint use a polishing kit.Start with 3600 or 4000 grit depending on how much dirt or orange peel is in the clear coat.You can always go back to a 3200 or lower number grit if the finer cloth doesn't take away as much as you want to remove.Then continue up to the 12000 grit,then polish,then wax.

[Scalper]

Great thanks Toni.. I will try and do that.

Hey Bill. This a pretty basic kit. low part counts. Body is all on peice accept for the tail extension . Wheels are fairly nice. rear axle as a bar. Curbside. Very little flash. but parts are hard to get off the sprue.

what kits do you have?

Got Some work done on her Sunday. Pretty much almost done. need touch ups and decals. I think I installed the headlight wrong so might have to take them apart.

Thanks For looking

[Scalper]

Maybe having problems with black paint is a scale Porsche thing. I had the same problems with this car: I shot it the first time and it orange peeled really badly. So I wet sanded it with 400 grit and took it back down to the primer. Just to make sure, I reshot the primer and then wet sanded the primer with 600 then 1000. It was smooth as a baby's butt. Then when I shot the black on it again, it went right back to orange peel.

[Danno]

Nice so far.

[Scalper]

Thanks Guys @DavidG who makes the convertable slant nose?
