Re: Car Modelling Questions

the big disadvantage is the cure time. Enamel can take weeks/months/forever to dry enough to be polished out. Im in the US so I dont know where to refer you, but you should be able to order Tamiya rattle cans. Try finding a local hobby shop, or just opt for lacquer instead of enamel if you can. If you already have enamel, go for it. I sprayed the Enzo with black enamel primer, then used several coats of Testors bright red enamel for the main color. Having just done an enamel body, I was reminded why I had left these to the side unused for so long. Not bad, just not the most ideal.
