    How are you applying the paint? Your application is so smooth that it's making me angry.

    Tamiya spraypaint for the main body but it is all in the preperations degrease the figure, half transform or take him apart and then several thin coats of color. The first one needs to be a haze, not covering enough yet. The 4th coat will cover the color. Then wet sand with 3000 grid before gloss coat in the same order. After that wet sand, polish and wax.

    That looks amazing, beautiful work. The folks chiming in about the molotow are right though. Let that cure for about a week without touching it. It looks great but needs a long cure.

    It is the E class and it is a Brabus (not a AMG) I think it was/is the W212 but I am not that at home in Mercedes slang ;-)
    And I did.. I love the Molotow markers!!

    He is a Brabus for sure (wheels, frontfenders) Brabus is a German tuner for Mercedes like AMG used to be. It is based on a E500/550 (in the USA it is 550)
