Re: Mitsubishi FTO GPvR

Actually I am ok with white cars, just that on all these cars I think they look the best in white. One of the real TRD altezza is white, and I was trying to replicate it. The FTO version R comes with only 3 factory colors, white, black, and red (If I remember correctly from GT2 ) and the DIY decals show up best on a white background, plus I like FTOs in white, seems like it was made to accept that color. The STi, it was my second time spraying white in 5 years so I was trying to get better at it. It was harder to paint a uniform white color rather than some darker color, after using grey primer to do mold line/sink marks corrections on random parts of the body.

I had a successful time applying white onto the FTO with uniform coverage, dustless, and be fairly quick, but too bad I screwed up the polishing part, and then screw up the "covering the polishing screw-up" part, leading a full repaint, which clogged up some panel lines.
