will the clear be smoother if I wet sand it with 600 followed by 800 grit sand paper and lay another layer of clear (and repeat it)


#2:is 55$ overpriced for a tamiya skyline VspecII (cnd$)
and 37$ for a 300zx (tamiya)

I can only help you with the 300Z I'm definitely sure that that is TOO MUCH.

When I went to California practically all the cars were 25 dollars.

Except a few such as the modena and a few rally cars. Highest was probably 35 USD

The stock cars like the 300Z was 25 dollars.

I say you should order at HLJ, Hobby Search, or Best 1 Hobbies. Best 1 Hobbies, if you do not know is probably in my knowledge one of the cheapest American internet dealers I know.
