Test Fit Of Painted, but Not Finished Body

This was a problem when I painted, some of the panel lines came through the paint. I was thinking of just hand painting it with a bruch before clear coating it. Any suggestions?

Looking good, Not to many black s13's around.
-The problem with the unpainted panel lines is caused by your thickness of layered paint. Small mist jobs when you painted the car would have got the job done.

That's a nice kit, but I would've spiced it up a bit, maybe a wing and set of rims and lowered it a bit , but thats my :2cents:. But that looks great as a stock model. Keep up the good work.

I'll have to do more mist coats next time, thanks for the comments. And to Uninen, I like the stock look of the car and wanted to keep the kit stock. I plan on getting another one to modify with the SAS kit, wing, and some Rims.
