Nice work, but slow down a bit! You'll enjoy the process and finished product much more

You can definitely tell it was rushed. The color is nice, and the small details seem well, but the exhaust and wheels have gotta go. Also have you read the FAQ for painting bodies?

I think you should have slowed down a bit. Even if your done and a little happy you may regret that you could have done better. Even if you took a little longer to do better you might have been more happy. I try to make my models perfect so if i'm not satisfied, I won't rip apart my models.

I the exhaust but don't like the rims. But anyways great job for a onedayer.

it looks good, but yes i agree with others.. also, if your going to do straw exhaust tips like that, you might want to add either add silver color to the inside, or black... otherwise u can tell its a straw!!

when I took these pics I was in the middle of waxing it. so u can see the swirl and it looks dull. dot worry I rubbed it out. Its a really good paint job one of my best. just cant tell from the pics. Im gonna add panel lines as soon as I can get some thinner, and I was hopeing nobody would notice the inside of the exhasut isnt panited (forgot to get black paint). the interior is one of my best cause it was the first time I used all flat colors. (Nobody ever told me). And yes I did read the FAQ this is like the second model I have done with primer. (horribble accidents before) I just said it was pretty much dont cause I only have small things to do cause I dont have some things. like I need to paint the turn signals and the side markers. And to everybody who said to slow down a bit I CANT. After a week or so the model gets boring then it takes me like a month and I hate that. and sometimes they dont look this good a couple of time it has looked better. this model has over nine hours I havent been outside since like two days ago before I got it. (drying time over night and while at school so that give the primer coat about 6 hours the the first red coat 4 and the last coat of red like 6). Not to get any one mad but I build these cars casue im in love with real cars not really with models I mean its a great hobby and I will continue it for a long time but since I cant have a real car and play around with it I build these, get what I mean. well thanks with the comments maybe when I add some touch ups I will post pics. Whats worng with the wheels I Love them I just need to fix the front ones a bit though. I feel like this was therapy. how much do I owe u all?

The double exhaust would do, if it was smaller And properly centered. You should take care of these minor things
