You WILL spray the body, as anything else will look crap! I have never hand painted the body on a model car, the thought is just murder! Get some Tamiya masking tape, and like Warren said, spray it all red. Then mask off the red sections, and add just 2 coats of black (I think this car is Red & Black Warren!) Remove the tape as soon as it is touch dry, and then leave for a few days. Polish the dividing line down a bit with cutting compound, then add the decals, which should have the red stripey section included yes? Trust me, it is easier than brush painting when you know how, and there is only one way you will learn! We are here to guide you through it!  You will regret any other route! |

After a few days and this terrorist thing cools down, I'll scan in the decals, instructions(not the whole thing, just enough to look at the paints and body) and box. That way you guys can look at it and tell me what to mask. This stuff is just plain crazy...

I know you guys won't steer me wrong. I'll scan that stuff in so you can help me figure out where and how to mask. But somehow, all of this seems inconsequential in light of yesterday's events...

It is times like this when you really look at your life, and weigh things up! I don't feel like going out much, just being home with those close to me and talking it all through! But life goes on I guess! We are not hit as hard here in Britain, but I keep the news on all the time, watching events unfold. My sincerest condolences to all you guys in the States. |

That happened to my NSX, too. It's easy to fix with plastic cement, just be gentle. The super-thin kind works best. Gently separate the parts by twisting (no pun intended
 ) the body, and smear some glue on the broken surface. Let it dry for about a day, then sand off the extra glue. After painting, it'll look fine. See? No big deal. |

I'm a newbie building a lancer too!what a small world,well forum acctually...
I'm to damn worried about staring the kit,before staring a kit,I take 1 day and NEARLY memorize the instructions,it makes me feel like I know what I'm doing Painting?I got it a little easier than you,it's a basic 2-tone paint job,but one question to the pros: In one of the earlier posts,someone said that when you do a two tone paint job,(with all the needed parts masked off)when you paint the car,you should remove the masking tape before the paint fully dries because it will leave a jagged edge,but someone here just mentioned that you should take off the masking tape as soon as the paint is dry,which one is it?  |

Not completely dry though, I believe the statement was 'dry to the touch' which is what you want to do. You don't want the paint to be completely dry before you remove the tape as this is what will cause the jagged edge effect.

Oh well, I'll have to see. I've still got a week to decide.
