this will be a very nice one

Sprayed White SMS lacquer. I was lucky to receive some paints directly from SMS, thanks Scott!
My first impression is that 18 psi was just a bit too high with my 0.5 needle. 15 psi might be better under the current weather conditions.
The white covered really well, some minor graining occurred which should be easily sanded out.

SMS paints are my first choice. Try the 2K clear, it's amazing.

Bozzer
Never heard of SMS, but I like that crisp white!
Hopping on for the ride. I have this kit in my stash. Apparently, I have a thing for cop cars?

Martin Oostrom
Rod, living in Europe makes it nigh impossible to get SMS. I got a couple of colours and two bottles of regular clear as a gift. No replenishments or additions expected 🙁

The black laid down very well in a couple of layers.

Masking must have taken quite some time, but result speak for themselves! Looks fantastic

István Szücs
Looks real good. I am sad, now I can't get this kit

Christian W
Great paintjob so far!

Dominik Weitzer
agreed. well done

Martin Oostrom
I finally could muster some energy for the hobby. Decals on the body done

Bozzer
Looking good mate. Don't worry too much about not being able to get any benchtime, I'm the same. Work and family commitments, are really taking it out of me too.

Spanjaard
paintjob and decals seem to be looking really great

Martin Oostrom
At first I didn't dare cutting the decals. Now I'm happy I did.
