and then you can actually watch the paint jump from the body at the first sign of a crash.
you need to scuff the surface with at least 600g sandpaper for proper adhesion.
if you would have sanded the body before you painted you wouldnt have had those ugly "fisheyes" on the hood.
overall, it's a decent tut but you need to remove the lenses and ALL other body peices. paint everything seperate to ensure proper coverage in the creases and seams.
if you dont remove the lenses then most likely you will get paint creeping under the lenses and the only way to fix it is to remove the lenses. seems easier to just do it in the first place.
paper towels are
never a good thing to use as stencil. way too many contaminants.
