Wow! You've just raised the bar for automotive paint finishes 👍

Thanks mate but thats far too kind. Look at the last picture. I got a lot to learn. But buying that zero paints clear, although toxic as hell and not the cheapest was totally worth it.

Mere blemishes mate, the fact you got 90% of it looking bloody amazing at first try is a result in my book 😉
Learn every time ......

I am not saying that I´m not happy with the overall result. But as the builder you know where to look for flaws. And now that it´s done, I regret not wiring/plumbing the engine a bit. Next time 🙂

THX Bill.

I needed to add some daylight pictures since my camera was not able to focus my favourite decals (pic #28) at night/LED lights. Very subtle and sharp printed. This picture also shows an issue with the decal thickness: The clear part of the rear window has bolts/screw heads molded. I thought I could just put the frame decal on top and apply decal softener as needed. That did not work out completely. I might be a better idea to sand the screw heads away before using the decal.

Nice build 🙂 I only have one model in my cabinet with 2k clear on it, and it is by far the shiniest of the collection. Extreme toxicity bothers me, but the finish is incredible.

Thx guys. I believe the zero paints 2k stuff is close to automotive clear. When it comes to "real" automotive paints I am a big coward scared of destroying base paint coats and/or decals. I use future klear alot with all non automotive topics. It is great since not that toxic, but it is not as shiny as the zero paints clear... not sure if/how future klear can be polished or not!?!

Zero Paints 2k clear is the same automotive paint but diluted for airbrush, without any difference!

as for your doubt regarding the future I cannot help you, because I never used it, sorry!

Album info

As stated in the project description: This kit is really great. I am usually a cry baby when it comes to kit quality but here only the thick decal film is a tiny complain. Thumbs up Revell!

I used Zero Paints 2K Gloss Clearcoat Diamond Finish, which is just overwhelming. I could not believe my eyes after the first tests. In the end I messed up the finish a bit due to my lack in polishing/waxing experience. But still the most shiny car in my collection by far.
