[BUILD THREAD] Tamiya Suzuki Jimny MF-01X - Paint work

Some progress on the little SUV....

washed and masked the body...

  


it's gonna be a two toned Jimny... so masked off the upper part first....
and sprayed the first color.... Bright Silver...

    



removed the masks and ready for the second color...
 


Metallic Red!

  


backed with a coat of white before tearing off the window masks...
cos this time... i tried to use lesser paint... i used to coat the lexan bodies with lots of layers of paint to make them opaque.... first time using only 2 coats for both the silver and red paint....

  


love the Metallic Red....




Sticker time!



done!
 


can see that some of the red got into the silver.... i should have backed the silver with a layer of white first before spraying the red....
 


sprayed TS Black for the side mirrors and added a coat of matte clear...



added lights to the little SUV as well....



wired up and ready to run!



DIY-ed body brackets to velcro the body onto the chassis...




completed!
ready to hit the dirt!



Thanks for looking!
