What should i do if i dont find it? finish the model and keep that side up against the wall so you dont see it? Or just buy a new one and build that?
If you don't find it, you will have a good one for your signature:
"Can't find the headlight "

Damn, that sound familiar, where had I heard that?

Even if you do find it, you can put "I have found the headlight" in your sig

Okay, i tried reading through all this again. But either you dont do it, or I missed it. But do you use a clearcoat at all? Or do you just spray the paint, and polish?

Thanks.

NO, don't add lacquer or clear coats to solid colours! There is no need!

Lacquers are for 2 pack colours, i.e a rough, non shiny basecoat which is the colour, then the lacquer which adds the shine and smooth finish.
