At the beginning i used Mr. Metal Primer

I prefer using airbrush because of coat, it's equal. When i'm using Tamiya XF-1 Flat Black marker, i see a straight line marks.

Little update.

When I am making models, I always make it in few levels. Chassis and suspension, body, interior, some other small things.

I started with chassis and suspension - I primed some parts for example brake discs (I painted it in Tamiya Orange, same color will be on body - it looks little darker than it should be because i used gray primer, on the body will be white primer so the colour will be brighter) and I put photoetched brake discs. On the brake calipers will be a Brembo decal.

Hi.

Looks very nice but,...maybe you can give the exhaust a wash of smoke.
I think its a bit to shiny.

Of course, wash and weathering will be on chassis, but at the End of project
