very nice paint job.

Adam Gudynowski
Thanks 🙂

Alexander Grivonev
why did you repaint the body? Didn't look too bad. What kind of paint did you use?

Adam Gudynowski
If you take a close look you wilk see I've rubbed to plastic when polishing. Paint is from local car paint shop. And gloss lacquer is Gunze GX100

Alexander Grivonev
aaah, now i see it. You have to be careful at the edges, have had the same issue myself

Adam Gudynowski
Added few pictures after 2h of polishing with Tamiya Medium and Fine compunds. In reality still some scratches are present... 🙁

Alexander Grivonev
looks great! From my personal experience i would suggest using Tamiyas coarse compound at first, it's pretty abrasive and removes fine scratches, but gives a nice basic shine, too. After it you polish again with a finer compound. Prior to polishing wetsand the surface as fine as possible, i use 2000 grid paper and 4000 grid trizact pads by 3m as the last step. Works great

Adam Gudynowski
Thanks Alexander. Before compounds I've sanded orange peel with wet Mr Laplos #6000 and #8000.

Alexander Grivonev
ah ok, you already did. Your paint job looks flawless though, you'll always end up with some scratches here and there. Just as in real life, nothing is perfect, not even brand new showroom cars, that's the way i look at things😉 cheers

Adam Gudynowski
Someone told me that It can be fault of paper towel I've used. I'm going to trpeat polishing with some soft cotton cloth. I'll give up if It doesn't help.

Alexander Grivonev
Paper towels are not the right choice for polishing, they can get hard edges when folded. I use old t-shirts, really. Cut them into small handy pieces (10x10 cm) and voila

Adam Gudynowski
Thanks 🙂
