I decided my lungs weren't NEARLY sparkly enough tonight so I did some painting :D

Pre-heavy clear so the gold flake is trickier to see

After a fat layer of plain clear from a rattle can, ready for drying for a few warm days then polish I guess, never done that before :lol:

Done the interior in a tan colour quickly, nothing special.

Hilux looking good in a bit of colour.
Give it at least a week before you wet sand or polish.

Amazing how we paint parts that small. :lol:

Cheers fellers :)

Yeah Hilux is sitting aside for a bit :lol:

Pulled this think out and painted a bum-stripe over some crappy bits where nikko pen has somehow risen to the top of the yellow :s Dunno how that happened... The rest can either stay there or be covered with BMF, ain't going back and repainting the whole thing lol

Also been using an old photo frame and a weird non-flat ruler stuffed into it to aid in the taping process.

Image

Next is polishing I guess... super new to that so I'll fumble my way through it somehow... Hopefully wont mess up too bad :lol:

I really like that Celica, the yellow suits it perfectly. Bummer about the marker.
