First paint job is done.

@jaykay
You are right about the zero paint color, at the first sight it looks like the color is too bright.But i risk to use it cause i knew from other colors before i painted that the true color will show when its paint and also some when clear coat is on.
I was right the color is exactly the one it should be....
The color also have a little effect depends on what kind of light.
With daylight the color is more bright but not pink,exactly the same which we can see on pictures from the real car. With Spotlight the color comes more to Violet blue and with daylight but inside a room it becomes more darker.
I really like this color.I can tell all you can use this Zero Paint color its perfect.



For all the parts i used Mr.Surfacer 1200 primer, then i painted the main color.All made with Airbrush gun.



Here you can see the color by daylight but inside a room so its more dark.



For the Rear floor from the body there is this clear part together with the white.
This one:



The clear parts are tricky,cause how do i paint the white part and let the clear to be clear.
After a moment i have the idea to use liquid mask.Its like a liquid silikon which will be brushed on the part which have to be covered.
After 30 minutes the parts look like a women with silikon clothes...
Sorry i am a man and have to say that.....
When all the paint jobs are done you can take the silikon off and have a naked wo..., parts.. This way is much better then to tape it,cause it have many corners and too much tape to use.



To be continued....
