First of all, welcome MArtinu. The lines were painted indeed because it looked far better that way. The dark met. red was my other option because I liked a lot that colour. But , casualties of life , I had a new model report in a magazine with pictures of the very same car of the model.I mean, the car with the same licence plate of the decal sheet. And it was a gun metal one.
About the 1/12 car from Fujimi I´m willing to take a look to it. I was about to buy one and then , I left it. I shouldn´t have done that.
Well , regards.
