i've tried the rubbing compound you use for car paints and they work excellent for me.

Re: aoshima top scert skyline
painted the rims today n put the chassy together... well sort of...
one thing kinda annoys me is the suspension thing on this model... the rear wheel wiggles around!!!!!! should i just forget about the susupension and glue it? p.s i already scartched off the extra paint around the bolts on the rims with the mighty toothpick!

Re: aoshima top secret skyline
you took my advice very well!
you might wanna do some touching up on the edges of the wheels.

Well, that's basically what rubbing compound does. It scratches out the bigger scratches, if that makes sense, so toothpaste should work. Plus your kit will be minty fresh.

Nice job so far. The wheels are looking good.

Yea, exactly, it does the same as compound - it levels the paint out.
