sounds good, hope you can get that paint off, next time just do dust coats at the distance it says on the can and keep with flash times. by any chance are that fr bumper a new one, if it is do you still have the old one?

It's the old one. The paint on it bubbled really badly and got too thick, so I got rid of the paint on the bumper before the rest of the body.

Got some new paint

Left side is primered with white primer, left is non primered. Obviously I'm going with the left side XD



It's a lil' ugly on the right side, so the weapons should be distracting enough for you to ignore it.

Oh, but it is true! By scrambling the data in this photo and messing with the time space continuum, they're both primered and unprimered on the left side!

Just kidding, my bad XD

I painted the body, but there were a bunch of little problems...

The main body looks fine, along with the spoiler.







But the rest of the body got a bunch of bubbles, so I had to get rid of the paint and find some time to repaint them.

Yes... its back. I finally had time to spray paint.

Got one side and the hood repainted. Now they're shiny






The other side is a bit dull now...





Started painting some black onto some bits.





Repainted the black onto the hood vents:





And the bad part. When I was repainting the windows, orange peel set in. Bad. So now I've gotta repaint the windows.

What kind of paint are you using? How do you plan on removing the paint on windshield?

It's Krylon "Rust Tough" spray paint. I got rid of it using both sandpaper and paint thinner for the window wipers.

I resprayed the windows and some of it came out beautifully. Maybe another layer just to top it off.




However, some of it did orange peel (only on one window) and the paint got a little thick on the window wipers. So the windshield and one window are going to be sanded/ paint thinnered down and repainted.

Nope, just rattle can and good masking. Make sure when you mask it off, you push down hard on the edges or the paint will run into the little cracks and stuff. As for the paint itself... its all luck.

Paint:

Tamiya white primer:8 or 9... but worth it
Testors paint: 6 dollars (I think)
Black paint: 5 dollars

Putty: 8 dollars (don't get the tube type, its too weak IMO)


As for the rims, I'm keepng the stock ones. They still look good

The tube kind of putty is this kind:



It's cheap, but its really weak and not worth it in the long run.



The kind I use in Milliput two part putty. Its a whole lot stronger and I would say its like Tamiya putty, but I never tried it since I couldn't find it in my hobby store
