enamels sometimes spray thick out of a can. i would've gone with acrylic paint, but since you already have enamel, i can only say: thin coats.

will the car be off balance with the batteries on one side?
No it won't I'm putting the servo and the board on one side along with some styrene.

If you need to speak to me I'll help you out, send me a PM.

I finished painting. Here is the masking pics, my mom made me get off the computer at like 9:30ish cause she had to use it. I'll have my laptop back soon. Taking pics of it finished soon, I also painted a 350z wing red, and and going for rims next.

It came out great IMO. I preserved details and all.

Only one negative, I'm out of black detail gloss paint. So I have to order it, but I'm outa money. So the details I left out (mainly vents) are off to the side, unless someone wants to donate.

I have to sand out some little issues here and there, cut off some excess paint, touch up some paint, and then finally paint rims. I wanna spread this out to see how little details make a difference, STL

Masked pictures:





I accidentally burnt a hole in the hood when i tried to melt out the windows, so I sanded it down and am going to putty from the reverse side, or just leave it there :P



EDIT:
I have one preview picture of the finished paint job that I took, good pics soon, including the wing
