Looks slick. How much work goes into getting a shine like that on the red paint?

There is a tear in my eye. I drove it for many years, only the color was sky blue. 👍

Thank you all.

@Treehugger : 'with sandpaper, removing potting lines & modifying shrinkage. -> compounding plastic -> painting body color -> clear coating one time -> compound body' is my usual process. I do not paint any primer or surfacer. It is materials for real car and it makes model thicker and more ugly, I think.

@Bernhard : Oh, You were a owner of Trabant! Yes, Sky Blue is very popular color for Trabant. I made revell's Trabant Sedan a few years ago in Sky blue. So I wanted to paint this at my own choice.

@Neuling : I agree that Trabant is beautiful.
