nope
i didn't strip the paint...
but I sanded the paint till it's very thin and I start paint it...cause the originally paint is just nice...

i did lots of wet sanding and slowly so the paint will be balance and not thick..
the photos don't do justice to this car espcially the lamps and the body reflection.... the lamps look messy cause the inner part is chrome and it reflects the ambered lamps...

it's quite tough as I normaly work on 1/24 scale models...
there are little oversand on the front bumper but I manage to cover it with markers..


anyway ,wat is MAACO?

I know you from the plastic model section dude

In the US we have these bodyshops..they pretty much do half assed work all the time. The shop is called MAACO. They do stuff like barely take down the old paint and paint over it. It could pass for out models yea. But it's pretty shoddy on 1:1 cars.

oh..that's MAACO
well, i think it works for 1:1 scale cars also..
cause my real life car ( a rebadge mitsu ) was painted over the paint and there is a large amount of putty beneth the paint... cause i banged the car lots of time and people also bang my poor car...and the 'wave's are minimum from the certain angle..
here it is
