Mercedes SLR

Hey guys, here is my SLR, I had some trouble with the headlights frosting with the glue. Is there a way to fix that? Also I am about to spray it with clearcoat, what grit sand paper should I use?

I can't answer your questions, but I just wanna let you know that it looks great so far.

I think if you give it a series of sanding with all different grits of sand paper (slowly getting finer) then polish and wax the inside (I take it thats where the fogging is) of the head lights, it should come out, then when gluing clear parts, use glue made for clear parts.

Nearly forgot to complement you on how good the model looks

Thanks a lot guys! I had a hard time with it because the plastic parts were all warped, I used a hair drier, that seemed to help.

Wait. You're going to spray the whole thing w/ clear, or just the body?

[Ringo]

the body is not glued in yet, I was going to clear coat it. Actually I sprayed it with the metallic paint. I was just affraid to sand through the paint for the clear coat. I'll have to tape up the headlights.

Okay, good answer. I was afraid you were goind to spray it whole.
