ummm,,,,,,ahhhhh,,,how do i paint a clear hood
ok i got my tamiya 300zx today and i painted the body pacific blue(it looks sweet) but the hood is clear, i dont use primer so can i just paint on the clear or will it run or not stick.. so far the only mod iv done to the car is i ditched the twin turbo v6 and dropped in a v8 out of the revell mustang superstallion and its got 18 inch 5 spoke rims i dont remember what there called but there made by ashomia.
oh and p.s. how do you guys pronouce tamiya is it tam-i-ya or tam-ya?

The paint might not run if you mist the first couple of coats in order to give the later coats something to stick to.

You might find that if you paint the hood from underneath, you will get a really nice shine. Although the colour will be slightly different from the rest of the car. I don't know why they don't make all model car bodies clear, like R/C bodies, because they have a really nice shine.
The paint should be alright, just do what antonio said.

You don't use primer? Well, then you'll have to live with consequences
 And what you'll get is a semi-transparent hood. And it wil probably be a tad different colour because it doesn't have any red plastic under paint AND because you didn't spray the hood and the body together, and you get a bit different results each time you spray. Lesson? Use primer. :o

Ales is right on on this one. Without priming the entire car and hood you will never get a constistent looking color. This is especially true with Tamiya's sprays which do not have a really solid pigment which makes them very much effected by the the color underneath.

i think you just leave the hood clear cuz that would look sick wit dat engine in it or give it a tinted hood like what ever color the is.
