Then decanted Tamiya's TS-44 for the body.....its sprayed beautifully and very forgiving....check out pauls up and coming video on how to decant the Tamiya rattle cans.

Now the Decals, It was always a very tricky part of a build for me, doing the decals, but after watching and learning from Pauls video on applying Decals it was really enjoyable and gave me a lot of confidence. Cheers Paul

Ok now it was time for my first ever try of the amazing Zero Paint 2K, after watching pauls video on how to get the ratio's correct and how to apply, and a little helping hand on the way.....this stuff is amazing, very forgiving and if you stick to the advice Paul gives, its a winner, hopefully get more confident the more I use it.....this is my go to gloss coat.....Cheers Paul.

Now the detailing parts of adding the light clusters and around the window trim, again , window trims always made me shake, but, by taking my time, I think it turned out, so I decided to mask off the black trim on the spoiler with my new found confidence....( Luck I should say )
