What can I say Allan, this had primer and two coats each of two different blues (tamiya) and had to mess around because my stingy ass only put half a bottle in the container to see if it worked and then forgot about it for a couple of weeks. When I scrubbed it with a toothbrush there was a line sooooo straight between the dry and wet bits I was almost in awe, prob couldn't get it that straight if I tried.
Give it more time, unless you're in a hurry, it'll be worth it.

Luke, the room looks so sweet, don't forget spray will show up EVERYTHING so prep, prep, prep. And then prep.

Forgot to add, the paint doesn't fall off the body, in fact it looks like nothing has happened till you hit it with the toothbrush. Strained it back into the bottle through a couple of paper towels and looked like new again.

Just checked the body, did remove a bit of paint off the roof with 1000 wet/dry paper, will give it another week to see how it goes, forgot to put back doors in also looks likes I never put primer on the body first, if i can get the runs out of the sides i will be happy, might build it was a weather as a barn find or just put it with the rest of the unbuilt bodys. :lol: yes!

Two views of the same lap from the Nurburgring last night. Outside of Bathurst this is my favourite track and I just love the 911 Cup Car, close to automotive perfection.

Ooops I did it again. But in my defence one of them is for the drift build off.
Other than that I've been good, and started one of the builds even.
