Hi all,

Need to organize my build. trust me don't try to do more than 2 kits at one time. it'll easily getting messy and fed-up! ): (unless u're not a rookie like me)

Now working on 10 kits simultaneously -
wide fd(80%), jun gdb impreza(50%), xtreme makeover bncr34(20%), arai impreza(50%), custom 180sx(20%), custom s14(20%), bncr34 z-tune(80%), wide bncr32(30%), ol'skool celica xx (80%),custom evo-trial varis evo(30%),

Talking about building 2 kids at one time. I have done four very straight forward Fujimi Ferraris and that was not a problem but now really struggling to finish the 4 enzos

Now I had just finish wet sanding the body parts and first stage of polishing. Man! I have another 4 more stages to go

. So to everyone out there. Please do not build more then one unless you are very free and confident.

Oh! By the way, Kalam. Nice built there and I like the engine details as well. Body wise. Good polishing work but could be better. Keep up the good work.

K2B Garage Group: Members Posts: 311 Member No.: 132 Joined: 1-June 06	Finally finished the kit ,but after re-rub the body with polishing compound a there's a sign of chipped clear coat. ahhhh! !@#$%^&*...oppss sorry. Is it because of very thin clear coat or overwetsanding? At a glance u won't notice it but if look carefully u'll see it. Any suggestions guys?

K Auto Factory Group: SFTPMS Posts: 447 Member No.: 67 Joined: 11-February 06	It all depends on which part of the body that has this problem. Basically it is not called "Chipped clear coat" ir is called blistering for the clear coat when you polsih to hard on it or like you said over wet sanded. Ok. You can do what the normal spray painter does for the real car. Air brush it lightly layer by layer of colour until you get the right depth of the body colour. then do the same for the clear coat. Once it is dried. do not wet sand it but use a corser compound and start building it up to a fine grade ones. Good luck!
