Kennyboy Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Got her done last night and polished out tonight.........impressions of the kit: It is fun to build until you get to fitting all the body parts together, even with hours of mockup on this the hood still does not fit perfectly. The taillight section is a joke to get glued on without getting any bubbles under the smoked clear parts (which is why I painted mine black...I just could not take it anymore!!!) All in all though, it came together into something I dont mind displaying. The paint/clear is 8 coats thick: of HOK Kandys and Pearls (gold and blue) and of course clearcoat.....then wetsanded with 3000 to 13000 grit and polished with Plast-x and Meguiar's Mirror Glaze High tech Yellow wax. (My fingers are sore....) Better pics will come when there is ambient sunlight, but for now........here you go!
