Re: Provence Moulage Flying Lizard Porsche 2005 911 GT3 RSR 1:43

The car is now stickered up, what a wonderful job made easy with such fine decals/transfers... A few more to apply after the clear coating.





Now begins the long slow process of clear coating and also a small paint repair on the nearside rear wheelarch.

The body has now been clear coated and polished out. Before the final clear coat I lightly sanded with Micromesh and after the final clear had a good chance to dry (about a week) I polished it back with Tamiya Compounds, course, fine and finish. After that it got a coat of carnauba wax.

A couple of quick pictures;





Quite happy with it, it has the depth of shine that is popular nowadays but it doesn't have the thickness of clear coat that is often seen that dulls and obscures details, like a model that has been dipped in resin.
