Here is my project, sorry had to scan to post, dont have a camera yet. But i will soon for sure.
I skiped many painting steps that are in manual and gave the engine some live look. The paint on the car...i am not satisfied with it, i cant get it any better. Maybe using tamiya paint will change it?

Lightly sand it then clearcoat it,get rid of the bumps first
