Thanks for the Tutorial P-Man! When you put it in the microwave, how do you fit it in with it on the stand? and when you go to take it off the stand, wont you get all fingerprints on it? Thanks.

I just tried this out on my Opel and it looks pretty good. I'll try and post a pic later.
What do you do when dealing with decals? do you put clear over the decals and then polish?

One last helpful post....
To add an extra step, if you get fingerprints on the body before you paint or you want to make sure no hard-water, or other residue is left on the body use this....
 Final rinse with distilled water so it dries clean. This removes all oils as well!! Good luck! Russ

That is a great guide Pman, but one question. Do you think it would work with, graffiti spray cans? I've done some research and figured that graf cans are better for models. 500ml for the same price as 300ml of Tamiya, you can also attach different types of caps to get a different effect on applying paint. Example, If I use a "fat cap" I can go through the whole tin in less then a minute. if I used a fat cap I could spray the whole car in less then 2 seconds
I'll try it and let you know how I go. Yet another question though, do you use the sandpapper on the whole body to make the body have a very light texture? In other words make it more rough and less glossy then the plastic.

Correct about the sanding....it sound almost be as smooth as when you first started but no gloss. The primer will then give it a baby's bottom finish  Jedi801....have a look in the FAQ...it's all in there
