The color looks magnificent on the Countach as well. Extremely well done.

I think you've mixed the bodies up in the paintbouth 😄 The Mercedes was sitting on the left 😄 Funny, that you've used a Mercedes-Color and the SLdontknowRorSorwhatever was in the paintbouth too. Nevertheless: an unusual color but a good one. I like unusual colors on sports cars. What is the plan for the engine lid? What will you do with the cut outs?

It wasn't a mix up Christian: WIP - Mercedes AMG GT | Album by Mahoo76 (1:24)
The Lambo will be gloss and the Merc will be Matt. I intend to add some mesh to the cutouts. I need to decide on stainless steel or black plastic.

Nice green... is it a metallic? Just need an F40 to go with the Lambo 👍

Hi folks. Primer is on the other parts.
James, it sure looks like a metallic.
It was almost a days work to skewer the parts for the two cars, but I managed.
Interior painting and undercarriage work will have to wait a few days.

Following. I failed at building one of these in 1987. I did learn about brake fluid removing paint though.

That mesh was a lot of work. The horizontal pieces were relatively easy squarish pieces. The ones in the vertical are more triangular, and cutting them in the right shape took a few renditions.

I always find fitting the mesh a bit tricky, which glue did you use to attach it?

George, I used thin ca glue

That's recoverable mate. But definitely more work than you need, at this time 🙁

What happened is that I sprayed 2k clear. This always seems to happen to me. Perhaps I just suck big time at it.

![](/profiles/img/28909-839-s.png)
Thank you Bozzer.
So basically it's up the pressure or thin more.
Funny thing is, the 2k flat on the Merc worked like a charm. Same ratios, same pressure, same dumbass.

It's also about temperature mate. Obviously, when you did the Merc, everything was perfect. So it's worth taking that into consideration too.

"same dumbass" *giggle*. I think that is Murphy's Law. You have No Chance it Murphy points with the finger on you 😉
You'll tackle it!

I sanded and polished as far as I dared to go. I didn't want to burn throught the paint, so this is it.
And I might have accidentilly finished her as well...

Thank you all for your friendly comments. It wasn't sunny today, so the colours are still a bit muted: Completed - Lamborghini Countach | Album by Mahoo76 (1:24)

In the end, all troubles are gone. Excellent result, Martin. You've all the reasons to be proud

Nice one Martin👍 Have you considered applying a second layer of clear? Let the first one dry, smooth it out a little bit and give it another round of high gloss. Works for me every time if the first round is not as smooth as I wanted it to be and gives you more "buffer" for sanding and polishing
