I have started put together the main parts and i will sort out the bodywork first i will get some picture up asap also i have stripped the frame of its crome with oven cleaner foam this is the fist time i have done this hope it dont mess up and i will paint it with aluminium paint and clear coat with a semi-gloss finish

Are you saying that you put a coat of silver down, and then the dark blue on the body panels? Ive got a motorcycle kit Im working on, thats painted Telefonica Blue, and am having a lot of trouble w/ the paint not being consistent. Some places appear to be slightly lighter/darker than other areas. Im concidering right now, stripping the paint off, and repainting it. Just wondering if there's something that would help the color be more even.

yes i put down the silver first then the zero telefonica blue that is like a clear met blue that is put on first if you get a even coat of the silver down first you cant go wrong

[Adam Baker]

Cool deal, I'll have to try that. Ive been concidering stripping the body panels and trying again. Ive got 2 cans of the Telefonica Blue, and Im pretty sure Ive got some silver somewhere. When I get to building again, I'll have to try it out.

here are the decals finished all ready for a clear coat these decals are very tough the had lots of microsol spread over them to set them right but they turned out nice in the end




i will make a start on the engine and frame soon i am going to us themethod of c/f as i did in my ferrari f1 build as their is a lot of odd shapes to cover
