LOL! I'm sorry, I bet I've confused you a bit. If you're just starting, it will be far easier for you to build the kit as the instructions tell you to. Far easier.

I just get off-topic a bit too easily, it seems.

The race car looks good anyway!

Have a look on the net and see if you can find race pictures!!!

yeah i love the way the car looks and decide i would try to build a model of my car when i found out there no models for the p11 i decide to try it i think im going to have a hard time with all the decals the painting should be easy
silver 2000 when you say spary can you mean like spray paint or do you acutally use automotive paint?

Jay! · #19 09-20-2001, 06:38 PM

I use model paint. I use mostly Tamiya, but I've used Testors in the past, too. I guess Guiddy uses automotive paint and I don't know what primera man uses.

does the model paint work as well as the automotive?

Sleepy · #21 09-20-2001, 06:44 PM

and if i do go with model paint weres a good place to buy it in the states the dealership would screw you i think

It's different!
Automotive gives a softer, more realsitic finish, but model paint is more scale like it you use a metallic!
model paint is glossier, but a bit plasticy, where as automotive paint takes more work!
Notice the look of this EVO 6 painted using Tamiya's TS-50.

And then a similar colour on my Subaru Imprezza!

I mostly use Tamiya enamel's and the odd bottle of Humbrol.
I find using the enamel's far better then the water based paint.
The water based paint dries to quick for my liking. If you are painting a "larger" bit you will tend to "pull the paint off" if you brush back over it, making it look bad

Sleepy....have you seen the thread in here with the Primera's i done ???
