I can't believe how well my window rubbers turned out!
Used Tamiya X18 through the air brush having sealed the whole car with Tamiya tape.
First coat was light, sealing the tape, then 2 coats to get the required texture, and it is perfect! Not the slightest run or imperfection!
Shall be using this approach in future for sure!
I used to use automotive semi gloss black!

The exhaust also looks great, sprayed using my chrome silver. Looks just like stainless through out, and once heat stained should be spot on!

A couple of things to look out for!

They omitted telling you to paint the light section on top of the bumper! Contact me for more details when you have sprayed the body!
The rear undertray is a strange fit and needs glueing well, using something like Krystal Klear ONLY!!!
The rear indicators are easy to over paint, giving an all red look when you want an orange centre section!

Finally! DAMN I LOVE THIS KIT!!! I just can't describe how good it looks!
Can't wait to see yours!!!

What was your total cost, after shipping and everything, for the kit? And when do you start?

The total cost was 31 bucks, so it would have been about the same to order one from the hobby store. they billpay thing charged me 5 bucks to even use it, rip off jerks!
