[jdmhotrod]

[jdmhotrod]

ok here she is painted, should i clear cote?

[supratuner]

WOW

thats awesome

[jdmhotrod]

well it just hit the stripper and should be repainted by tommarow, i used an old can of testors clear and we all know they only last about 2 times and this can had been used like 4 times and it was not spraying the clear and it made the clear on the car run real bad so its stripping in brake fluid and will be repainted tommarow.

Looking even nicer when painted


the reason i said it was ricy was cause of the front bumper...it looks ugly IMO

What kinda paint are you using?. I suggest switching to Tamiya spray can's and not even worrying about clear coat, I use tamiya and just use rubbing compound, and get a great shine.

looks cool! i wouldn't clear coat i would just compound and polish. can't wait to see finish

[jdmhotrod]

thanks for the comments guys. it will have paint back on it tommarow and i will just compound and wax it. i have tamiya paint but no tamiya primer and thats the only primer that seems to work with tamiya paint for me. plus i liie how this auto paint levels it self out. thanks.

Tamiya does the same, I take that paint is duplicolor, Look's like nissan cherry red pearl.

its plasti-kote auto paint. medium red pearl. i have has bad luck with duplicolor. i know how tamiya paint works its usually all i paint with unless i want a custom color.

[jdmhotrod]

heres the scratch built exaust, pics of seats and door panels.





i know the exaust may need a bit of putty and paint, or should i leave it as it is?

[turbo type-r]

yes clearcoat it . putty it and paint it
