Default My silver skyline project!

Here are some pics of my skyline project. Don't laugh, it was my first successfull project and I am proud of it. I still have some things to do, but I was so proud of it, I had to show it to you guys. It's pretty good, considering the fact that i had to scrape off all the paint from the first disastrous paint job.

What do ya think? :P

not bad, I wont give your crap cause I know how it is to do all that work and prep for someone to tell you it sux. I do have some advice though. I have learned in paining anything the most important thing you can do is your prep work. In the event that you decide you want to paint it again or another project mask off all areas you dont want painted and sand with a fine grit sand paper not a rough grit, get out all the surface scratches, be sure not to sand off things such as body lines or such unless you want to. then wash in a mild detergent and let air dry. When you paint use light and even coats dont worry if you dont get perfect coverage on your first pass. let dry then cover again. do this 2 or 3 times and then top with a clear coat if you wish. I have learned krylon fusion for plastic is awsome and usually does good with one coat. I hope this helps

In case you guys were wondering, I tried to make a Blitz skyline at first. That's why there are some lightning bolts masked off in the pictures. (It came out way too hard for me )

I like it. The windows look a bit rough though.

Yeah, the windows got all messed up from the paint job before so there was no point in masking them off. I had to go back and repaint all of them.
