| First I dismantled the whole apart... |
 |
| I stripped the paint with an automotive paint remover. |
 |
| I had to sand down the mold lines that were very visible. |
 |
| Now the body-in-white is shining.. |
 |
| I applied metallic
crimson spray paint to the body, and painted the inside. I scratched the
paint on the window frame to expose the bare metal. (Now this is a short-cut
for BMF application.. Underneath is bare metal already!!)
Then I applied a clear coat over the body. |
 |
| I assembled the model. |
 |
| The contrast in the front is made by first painting with flat black, then scraping the highs. I also applied a clear coat on the headlamps and bumpers to prevent dulling from oxidation. |
 |
| I scraped the rear lamps to expose the metal and painted them with clear red. The licence plate is also done by paint scraping. |
 |
| And some more finished photos... |
