Update on the Scooby!
The final 2 coats of paint were put on the body today, and that will be left for a week now to settle in, before the fun part, the cutting and polishing begins!
Due to the sanding between coats the paint will be quite thin, so I will have to be cautious with this one!
The interior blue was added, this was Tamiya's XF-8 thinned with their thinners and put through my small airbrush.
This gives matt paints a lovely satin finish, a great look for the fabric the seats are covered in!
The black was sprayed round the windows, using the mask supplied.
You really should spray this, the mask is likely to leak if you brush paint it as capilary action will pull thin paint in!
Go very light with lots of coats from a spray can. It will work a treat!
If I want to go for the Japanese look, the rear quarter windows will be tinted with smoked clear and the rear wiper will be added.
Leaving the wiper off and clear windows will give a more accurate representation of how the car will appear when it comes here in the Uk.
I haven't decided yet!
