Well, I guess it depends on which one you used. I used Testors when I used to build them and would use it only after the decals had sufficient time to dry. It gave the effect that the decals were painted on. You get no edges and such. I'm getting ready to scan some old pics of models I built back in tha day.

I used the Tamiya clearcoat and had waited 10-12 days before i sprayed.
God knows why it done it.

Here is another shot showing the complete exhaust.
I started by removing the seam lines down the manifold, making it look more like a performance exhaust.
The catalytic converter is standard, then piping was used to extend the exhaust back from where the old one narrows.
The silencer is off a spare S2000 and the tailpipe is from Hobbylink, #115, A'pex N1!

A few of you (Warren!) have asked about lowering this car!
My blue R34 has been very slightly lowered.
This is a pic of how the standard suspension should sit...

And this is how mine sits.
It is no more than 2mm lower, but it gets rid of the gap between arch and tyre, plus I needed it a little lower to go with the Nismo suspenion I fitted!

I am polishing this today BTW! Should be finished very soon!

Now that is a very nice looking Skyline. You should have that guy that takes pictures of models and makes them look life size, take some of your Skyline.

My only tip would be to try and paint the body someplace that is very clean. I used to use an air filter in my room when I built. Before I began painting, I would turn it on for an hour. It would filter out the air and Ionize it or iodize it...err..something like that. Got perfect results all the time. But that was just what I did, not recommending you go out and buy an air filtration system.

I only spray on a nice still day.

You have to get the body as dust free as you can by brush etc then paint it.

I stick mine in the microwave as soon as i have finished and just leave it there for 30-45 minutes. Its a good dust free area.
