Thanks, Jim! Before I start, I wash the body with dishwashing liquid to remove any left over oil from the molding process. I use primer first to help smooth out some of the rough areas in the body. I use the Tamiya white fine primer for this. I have made a stand from a Slot.it body screw epoxied on the end of a chop stick. This allows for the body to be raised and still able to paint the bottom part of the body. I’ll mist the first 2 coats of the base color them 1-3 coats of medium spray. I tend to wait a day before actually painting once the primer is on. I’ll mask the car off for any other paint work like the interiors on the Porsches and the headlight buckets. I use the Tamiya making tape as it’s easy to apply and remove. Once that’s done, I’ll leave overnight and follow the next day with the decals. Allow the decals to dry overnight and then spray the clear over the entire body like the base paint. Once that has been allowed to dry, assemble the rest of the body parts.
