Yeah, as stated above, it's not painted.

Finding pre-painted kits is going to be tough as very few manufacturers offer this. Your best bet would probably to go the diecast route . . .

Re: Enzo Ferrari Rosso Corsa

Let me tell you that you're not going to make a lot of friends here like that. Do you really thing that on a rather large car modelling forum like this painting models has not been discussed before? Believe me, it's well and truly covered, especially all the questions that a beginner like you might ask. Look around, you might be surprised as to just how much information is available to you, and very easily at that.

Re: Enzo Ferrari Rosso Corsa

Oh c'mon. Be nice to a newbie.

> ayra
Obviously, you should start with FAQ.
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t63623.html

Then, read some tutorials. Premera Man has a very good article on body preparation.
http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbul...d.php?t=215864

Then read some real life modeling experiences in the in-progress/completed sub section.

Now for painting...the easiest way is probably to go to a local hobby store and buy a can of Tamiya spray primer and the color of your choice. Alternatively, you can use automobile spray paint, but primer is a must, because the solvent in auto spray paint attacks styrene.

Do some test spraying on a scrap piece of cardboard or something to get used to the flow rate of spray can, distance to the object, and the amount of paint you apply at a time.

I have a Ferrari 550 kit in progress, and posted a few pictures while spray painting the body. I hope that helps.

Finally, welcome to AF.
