| 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... |
