Having these bodies sanded and cleaned, they are ready for paints. Home is empty tonight so it has been a very good moment for spraying work.
I have managed to has a good mix of paints for the Nissan March. First I laid a layer of Finisher Foundation Pink on it. And then I have the auto paint sprayed on it. It was a very transparent golden orange, which I could hardly spray evenly over the surface. Also, the color itself didn't quite match the color of Dora's ride. So afterall, I have mixed a custom orange base and added some of this golden orange for its pearl portion. The mix looks good at my first sight, so I sprayed it over on top and got it done.
For the Jazz, I started on Jay's ride as it is also laid with Finisher Foundation Pink. All of a sudden, I realised I didn't even cut open the roof for the roof window yet! I was so surprize and had to take out the tools for the mod. At a quick surgery, the roof has been opened and primer was ready. I laid the Foundation Pink again, followed by a layer of Finisher Bright red.
for Ronald's ride, I will have to look out for a good choice of paint as well or I will have to custom mix it again. Anyway, I hope to have the bodies painted in these couple of weeks so I can have the clear coat over the Xmas holidays.
