Aren't you tired from all my threads?

Anyway, this is work in progress. The kit is really simple (no brake disks! - but I have some spares) and I have to say that it's not a very good one. A lot of mould lines and in hard-to-get places. Also thebody is not moulded too well - a lot of filling has to be done. And the front seats .... sigh. Also the panel lines are way too shallow! Anyway, here are some pics of how far I've got. Since then I've filled the sunroof lines (I'm going for a clean look) and gave it a coat of primer. Hope I will have the camera soon and will show more progress pics.

The body:


Most of interior and suspension primed.



Front seats. some plastic and putty should do it, right?


And now I need help with paint. I decided on metallic paint and I want to know how you polish it. Do you do anything before applying a clear coat? (can't sand metallic, I know, I know). So do I just ignore the orange peel on the paint and add clear and then sand cut and polish that?


That's all for today, folks, sorry for a long post.

Alex
