Martin OostromSprayed White SMS lacquer. I was lucky to receive some paints directly from SMS, thanks Scott!
My first impression is that 18 psi was just a bit too high with my 0.5 needle. 15 psi might be better under the current weather conditions.
The white covered really well, some minor graining occurred which should be easily sanded out.

BozzerNever heard of SMS, but I like that crisp white!
Hopping on for the ride. I have this kit in my stash. Apparently, I have a thing for cop cars?

Martin OostromRod, living in Europe makes it nigh impossible to get SMS. I got a couple of colours and two bottles of regular clear as a gift. No replenishments or additions expected 🙁
The black laid down very well in a couple of layers.

BozzerLooking good mate. Don't worry too much about not being able to get any benchtime, I'm the same. Work and family commitments, are really taking it out of me too.

Martin OostromAt first I didn't dare cutting the decals. Now I'm happy I did.
