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
Make sure the paint has dried for at least 2 weeks befor you sand it,then wash it befor you clearcoat it:bandit:

I still cant find the polishing sand paper, like around 12k grid. Any place to order online?
