SUPERB!

btw, did you clearcoat over your rear taillamp? they look so seamless! amazing.

Excellent work jimbob.
I usually don’t like dark sport commercial vehicles but you have done a hell of a job.
The paint job is very shinny and the interior looks superb.

Keep sending more like this one. :)

Flawless!!!
I've seen a real one in yellow, but they just look sexier in colors like this.

These are much better! Thats a geat job u have done, the paintjob looks flawless and i like the shot of the interior with the reflection on the glass.

Glad to have another UK newbie here too!

Fantastic :)

Looks great! :)

What did you use for your clearcoat? It looks really thick, but still looks good!

:eek: That's bloody beautiful mate!

Look at it shining. O my goodness, looks very good.

No there is no clearcoat over the taillamps. They were simply picked out from the inside with clear red and orange - also the edge lines within the inside of the light were picked out with black and then the whole edges picked out in black - Then a final backing with silver to highlight the colours. - Hope this helps

I always use automotive paints - As part of my job i see accident damage cars and sort the repairs out with bodyshops - This allows me to be able to mix any colour etc. If anybody in the UK wants a special paint mixed let me Know - Anyway I use automotive clear laquer. It is a two pack based - it has to be mixed with a hardener and an accelerator to make it dry quickly. As with all clearcotes if it goes on well it shouldnt need to much attention. I then use autoglym polish and then autoglym extra gloss - This helps to add depth to the paint which I think is important to make models look real. The secret is to do it without applying too much paint.

If u guys like the finish on this - wait for my 360 Modena - The paint is a real treat - I will post when done - but I do take my time - I think thats important.

Hope this helps
