LCR Honda RC211V 2006 - Casey Stoner - 2

On a relaxing Sunday, decal works on the cowlings have been completed. I have applied the color blocks decals on the red and black colors. Those broken areas have been covered with some Finisher Lumi Red and Gunze GX-1.



Since the kit is released, I have seen many of the completed works from the Internet. However, almost all of them have golden beams which are broken of damaged as a result of clear coating. I have been discussing with some of my fellows and this time, I have applied a layer of metal primer before any clear coating. This is the test I have always been thinking about. Our theory is that in order to prevent the thinner-drying process of the clear coats pulling away the golden beam, the metal primer, which does not contain any thinner, can help to isolate the effect and keeps a strong protection over the golden beam.
I am yet to confirm the result since any clear coat has yet been applied. But I really look forward to how this approach will go.

Beside, I really didn't want to apply any carbon fire decal this time. So I just spray the pattern on it with Gloss Black-Gun Metal scheme.
