Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2007 got my model out the box and they not 100% perfect in my eyes, could be better. maybe i'm a perfectionist, but i was a little disappointed at some parts, i'll get pics, just thought i'd let people know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2007 on mine, it has a funny mark on rear bumper, looks like its been touched with something while paint was wet. Rear spoiler is all knobbly along the bottom, like its been sprayed while sat on some paper and got bits stuck to it, needs sanding smooth and there is silver paint on the rear quarter where someone has slipped while painted the rubstrips Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
herisites 0 Posted March 8, 2007 Bloody hell that sounds pretty bad :shock: all that is ... well WAS fine on mine :lol: now the whole paint job is dodgy :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2007 :lol: i'll probably have it sprayed anyway, so can sort these bits out, they only tiny things, but still i noticed them whats up with you paint? how did you paint it? and what paint did u use? i thought they made one in your car anyway?

herisites 0 Posted March 8, 2007 Nah they only do dark burgundy and aqua blue. Althought the burgundy is similar to mine its not blackberry so i wanted to spray it anyway! I just used halfords primer, halfords mixed blackberry spray paint then lots of lacquer. It looks ok but i just didnt get the finish i ideally wanted due to not having proper spray guns and not having a proper heated room to spray in so it dried a bit matt. I have got it shiny with quite a bit of lacquer though but still not perfect. Im going to give it a T-cut to see if that will help. I tried a less abrasive polish which made it a tad better but still not great! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Bowen 1 Posted March 8, 2007 when i've sprayed with cans i've done a really light coat, then let that dry, following by a wet coat, then as thats almost dry give it a dusting of paint while standing a bit futher away people say to flat back the paint before laquer when you spray with metallics but i've found that to be crap? odd Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest 0 Posted March 8, 2007 OK, 3 models arrived today from my mate in Germany, all nicely packaged in a big box, that the models had originally been shipped in all the way from China. Note the red circle :-) Shame it didn't turn out to be true. When I unpacked the models they were of course VR6-models :roll: Yes, the detail is stunning but not perfect, as each one has some minor imperfections. Still, they're not bad, given they've been assembled by China's finest youth labourers :wink: Tempest Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
