Something new from me. The body is almost done, it´s waiting for waxing. I´ve painted some details (mask), but evertyhing else is still in primer and waiting for paint.
Here are the pics; painted and clearcoated (tamiya mica red)

I used a black alcohol pencil for painting the borders around windows. Here is after first polishing:

Then I polished another round and it´s alot better:

The coin is visible around the whole car, so I´m pretty satisfied.
Then the problem; I painted the windows REALLY bad, so now I´m thinknig of either ordering a new set or putting them into brake fluid and then polish them. What do you think?

This is definitely a great color for the prelude. Have you tried to take off the paint on the windows with Rubbing Alchohol (Isopropyl)?

Some progress. Of course I had to make some stupid mistakes. I noticed that I cut the left headlight too much and now it won´t fit, so now I´ll have to order the parts anway. Not to mention that I done a respray on the spoiler and now it´s a totally other color, and of course I even forgot to paint the mirrors. Stupid mistakes :mad:

Yes, I noticed I´ll have to cut the left light.

Any idea what should I do with mirrors and spoiler? Paint it black maybe? :icon16:
