Mini Cooper John Player Special
For a groupbuild I had to build the exact same kit. The Tamiya Mini Cooper racing.
I found a nice Mini on Google that I will use as an idea. Will not be exactly the same. First of all the kit: I painted the body in primer, followed by a gold layer. After that I masked off the gold trim and painted it black. Next were the decals. After that I clearcoated the body. I had a lot of dust in my paint so I had to polish the body. I used Micromesh 1500 til 12000 grit and Menzerna 4 step polish compounds. Now it's shiny! Kris.

Re: Mini Cooper John Player Special
How on earth did you mask such thin stripes? Did you cut masking tape into stripes? Can they be bent arround curves like that?
