Jean Todt's Ferrari FXX. Using SMS superset

The illusive FXX that no one knows if it exists! Even Ferrari will not acknowledge its existence. Many say it became Schumacher's Metallic Black FXX but there is no concrete evidence. One thing that is evident.....



SCALE MOTORSPORT FXX SUPER KIT...... its awesome.... the decals are unlike any I have ever seen or used...................



The Superkit states to paint the pieces black and the decal does the rest.......




As you can see they are overlays that provide an incredibly realistic weave! In fact if you were going for the flat carbon look they are perfect!! They are very thin.... and the instructions say to only use DECAL SET, Not SOLVENT... and they are right. Apply them, coat them with set and walk away and they do their magic.....

And the real magic happens after 2K clear...

I wanted blinding gloss!!! Look at these body pieces.... the weave is simply breathtaking...... thats dupont 2k clear freshly applied.... it needs time to shrink back and only minor polishing.....

I have the urge to swear but I won't! The cool-factor of this is off the charts! I've had serious thought about getting their GTR template set. Now, maybe I will!! Terrific work so far!!

You are one very brave soul to undertake that project. I can't imagine how many decals I'd ruin before finally giving up altogether. It looks fantastic. Can't wait for the rest of the project. Good luck!

My wife says I'm not allowed to look at your posts anymore cause it costs us money.
Just a perfect build.
How long do let the 2K dry before you buff it out?

I've been waiting to see someone use this kit, and I'm quite frankly glad it's you! I can't wait to see what you make of it.
