keen to see that finished i wanted to do something very similar to my Breakdown

Hi Gamblor,

I am in the process of customizing a Sunstreaker into Breakdown. Did you use any under-coats before spraying the parts with metallic paint?

I'm not sure how helpful I can be with this but this is what I do to prepare the surface.
Wash and sand the panels with 1000 grit wet and dry paper, then airbrush resin primer. I find it sticks better than other primers.
Depending on the final colour I spray white surfacer next.
Then I apply Zero auto paint. This stuff typically cannot be brush painted. I recommend Tamiya or GSI spray paints otherwise.
I clear coat with either 2k clear or my favourite Finishers Auto Clear.
Then polish and admire :D

How's that for plugging products :D

Thank you. I am still confused on what to do but I guess it's more of inexperience than anything else.

What everyone else said. Perfectly executed.
