Anyways man, nice thing going there, lol sadly enough i have a Saleen project going on myself, though it'll be a while before it surfaces... lol guess that'll make mine #7599? lol... Looks good, Can't wait to see the orange, the sanding on the putty was flawless too, i see the what you mean about cleaning up, but it looks really smooth. How'd the roof turn out? I'm gonna have to re-putty the roof lightly on mine cause i sanded too far down and you can see the circles where the holes are.

Here comes the orange...
Put down 3 mist coats. Looks nice from a distance, but up close, ther are a bunch of bumps. Which leads me to my first question: Will I have to sand all this down so it's smooth, or will 2 wet coats make it smooth? @Kaze I've still got the holes... I'm not to anal about the details though... I might redo them though.

the bumps may be caused by the humidity. go to a room where the tempeture seems normal, or outside
i'll try to find a link on how to paint good.

Sanding between coats.
The head guy/owner at my LHS says Tamiya's illegal now, he's not sure why though. If you look around, it's out of stock on Tamiya's shop and Tower Hobbies, two places where it should be.

Nice color. I like it so far. When working with that squadron putty(i use it all the time) make sure when you start getting close to the finishing prouduct or paint, always wash the car and let it air dry, don't use a hairdryer, it makes it softer and mushy. Hope this helps
Kaze: actually mine is the 7599 saleen project yours is the 7600 project. lol

Any other auto-parts stores, I would guess. AutoZone, Advanced Auto Parts, etc. You could also try to find some online, if you become that desperate.

Hardware stores will also stock some fine sandpaper. I've seen packages at my local Ace Hardware where they sold sandpaper from 100 - 2000 grit.

I just ran out of paint
I'll have to wait untill next month before I can buy new spray paint (I'm not going back to Fremont until then)... For now, I'm going to look for some sand paper.

If you mixed paint types, meaning primer and then the Tamiya orange, you'd get that problem.
Just a FYI, when you get new paint, get Tamiya primer. It may be a little more expensive than you are used to, but 5 bucks is far better than screwing up your body. Also, it looks like you are painting in an area with dust or debris in the air. Try to paint in an area without loose material in the air, or even on the ground. Spray paint can blow up debris from the ground.

I don't think I mixed the paints, but I didn't let it dry all the way...
I'll go look for some. The Tamiya primer I found was $8.50 so I strayed away from it. I just need to find a smaller can. There past few days have been a bit windy. And hot. Up to 88 degrees. So, ther has been a bit of dirt flying around in my backyard. I would paint indoors, but the Tamiya paint gets a bit dusty and when I painted in my garage, I got some orange dust on my mom's Camry... And the floor... And just about everything.

LOL, I've never had a bad experience with the Tamiya Paint. As a matter of fact, trying out that gunmetal is what made me a fan of their spray paints cause they go on and dry so easily for me. Anyways, If you need some sand paper I can mail you a small sheet of 1000 grit. As for the paint, I'd offer you some but I think it's illegal to mail paint to someone O.o... lol just order it online or something. Good luck and lemme know if you want that sheet.

Time to dig up an old thread (bwahaha...)
Since the weather is nice again, decided to spray paint the Saleen again... And the paint started cracking because of a different orange paint, bubbles started forming, and I personally didn't like the paint color anymore. So, one year later, here's what the Saleen looks like now: Sanded down again X( Bubbles :'( Now, I'm going to sand the whole thing down, and change the color to either a metallic color, or simply white.
