Wow! this must take a lot of patience, you even took out the headlights and all. usually ( well if it was me) taping it is all I know.

Awesome as always gamblor Looking to see what I can learn from you this time!

Liege : the headlights pop off REALLY easy - so it's really more effort taping up the headlights! (I only found this out AFTER my first swing at this mould :b)

Cheers guys
For the windows I got rid of that tint and polished both sides up then applied this stuff on the inside Alclad prismatic then clear blue.



Sideswipe is headless and armless at the moment, pics later

Sideswipe is the same colour as my Mazda!

I have to ask gamblor, where did you get that Mazda paint, and for how much?
I'd love to paint up a figure in the same shade. Wonder what figure matches a Mazda 3 decently...

I buy a bunch of stuff at a time so it works out to be more or less the same as buying stuff from a hobby store. Actually better as you use less of it, 1 bottle covers 3-4 model car bodies. My Meister is painted in Mazda Galaxy Gray.
This paint really needs to be airbrushed, if you try brush painting it'll look terrible, streaks everywhere and drys as soon as it touches the surface.
