It needs buffing, even in the real world you'd have to buff after painting. I use a nail polisher, although some folks swear by Micromesh. ![]() You can get them online or from a cosmetics counter. If you're too shy to do the latter get a girly to get them for you. Our mate Emil uses Tamiya polishing compounds and waxes to get a mirror like finish. peebeep |

im going to polish using some fine polishing compund i acquired when i was in the automotive industry the reason im not happy is cos it seemed to come out a bit 'heavy', its an old can and i dont plan on using it again even tho it still have plenty of pressure |

the body to chassis interface isnt going well :angry: ive actually had to remove a part of the rear suspension so the shell will sit on the chassis (but since this is kerbside you cant see it any way) but its still a forced fit
