If i was you i would take outdoor pics, as all your outside pictures look a lot better than the indoor ones. Also the paint jobs on the cars look a little rough. Try using some rubbing compound followed by some wax to get a better finish. Also some light panel lines would make them stand out more also. See our How to section as it has lots of useful info. Nice collection. Go JDM.

I use meguiars x scratch polish but it doesn't take out the roughness. I tried wetsanding but it's impossible to get into every spot. How do you do it?

As suggested, take a read through some of the tutorials on the site, as far as the roughnes, some can be taken down with a wet sand, but its easier if you dont have it in the first place! What are you using for a primer? Are you warming the cans at all? How many coats of paint and how thick/thin are they?

As a side not, great choices for builds! Do a quick search on my name, we have done quite a few of the same kits,love the oldschool JDM!

Thanks for the input. I am using all tamiya paints. I am suspecting that I am not taking car of dust that may be hitting the models during spraying. I am going to use a huge cardboard box and wet the inside and spray my models there. Hopefully that will hope.

I am going to look up your past cars, I enjoy watching these builds as well as building them.

Thanks again.
