Looking good. what paint did you use to prime and paint the body? My paint stand is also red at the moment...

Afonso Braga
Hello Nick, i will explain what i did:

1 - primed with Zero Paints ZP-3033
2 - painted bright red with Zero Paints ZP-1003
3 - as all zero paints look matt until after they are coated with varnish i used tamiya black panel liner to enhance surfaces and after it dried i applied a small coat of TS-13 clear varnish ti secure the paint job
4 - still not on this step but will finish with Zero Paints 2k urethane diamond finish

I hope i answered your question but if any doubt or curiosity remains always feel free to ask as i am more than happy to share experiences and knowledge

Afonso Braga
I forgot to say i used the tamiya black paint marker X-1 for the grill near the windshield

Afonso Braga
Also if you use the spray PS-2 red from tamiya with ts-13 the result will be very similar, i used zero paints because i have a good stock

Nick J
Awesome, thank you for all the details. I knew it looked too good to come from a rattle can. The clear coat is sure to give it a showroom clean finish.

Varnished and drying

Almost there 😃😃

I will need some advice now, is it better to keep the bonnet unpainted with the visible engine or to paint it like usual?
