discussion Bowcat's Ferrari F430

[Paul Davies]

The body's now had several coats of Xtracrylix gloss,but is still decidedly satin. The colour coat is quite rough, possibly because it's designed for the inside of a lexan body shell.

I'm tempted to leave it, it's looks pretty good and after the problems I've had I don't want to risk screwing it up by trying to wet sand. What do you guys think?

let the paint cure for a week and try a bit of car polish on it. Might give you bit more of a shine

It looks fine as it is, too much shine makes them a bit toy-like.

Cheers guys. To be honest I'm going to call the body done, I don't think I can improve on it and it looks ok.

Good call. Only take it further if you know that you can definitely make it worth it.

Looks good. Love the pinwashed seats, sometimes it's best to leave as it is and you have built a good model.

Just a note, if you want propper scale mettalic paint go to zero paints.

 

[Mr Bowcat]

Cheers, I will have a look at Zero.
