Left to do:

Mirrors (carbon fiber decals)

Let me know what you think…Should I tone down the panel line detail?

Oh I'm in love..look at that engine bay...100%props for going with the stock black valve cover. ANy close engine pics? Looks like you really detailed the intake manifold. Like the anodized intake too!!
Sweet paint.
Panel lines are great too.

For the decals I am making a kind of Flame pattern in a dark blue with a black marble look.

I also have a carbon fiber decal ready to place on the hood that makes it look like the hood has been "torn" down to the carbon fiber.

I actually got the idea from someone’s real car I found pictures of on a website while doing research.

The engine bay was detailed primarily using a new line of Sharpies that has metallic Gold/Copper/Silver markers along with a regular black marker.
The markers were used to bring out the detail molded into the pieces.
If you mess up you can use a toothpick and rub it out with no damage to the paint.

Paint is just Tamiya Orange from a rattle can. I was going to airbrush it on but got impatient and just shot it in very light coats.

I found that if you get a cheap Styrofoam cooler from the store you can place the kit in this in between painting to make sure you don’t get dust or other contaminants stuck to the paint. Just make sure your kit doesn’t touch the lid when you close it up.
