hi i just got one of these and its my first time making a model car i am very experienced with small detail painting and wanted to try a smaller car a shot what was the small advice/ glue looking stuff that you used at the beginning of the video if its necessary where can i find it?
I am using Tamiya Extra Thin Cement. It is the green cap. They also have a regular cement that is a little thicker that has a white cap. You should be able to find them at any hobby shop, especially one that specializes in model kits.
I did 2 coats of the primer, 3 coats of the color, even tho I think 2 would have been fine and I always do 3 or more of clear depending on how complicated and angled the body is. The R32 has nice soft lines so your chances of polishing through the paint are a lot less.
@@joseperezpaz9986 yes, after the clear I will sand and polish. The clear I have been using, the Mr Hobby Clear, has been amazing right out of the can and doesn’t require a lot to get it to really shine. How many layers of clear can really change how the body looks, also the types of clear. The Mr Hobby clear is actually pretty thin and I kind of prefer the look of it when completed. Some clears go on pretty thick and it can really make a difference how it looks around panel lines. Once you are finished with the polish you can give it a bit of a wax as well and it will help ensure the tape you use for the window trim doesn’t leave residue on the body. Also once you remove the tape you can easily give the body a good wipe with a microcloth to ensure it is clean. Personally, and this is only a preference, I like the look of a semigloss for the trim, not a flat and not a gloss. Totally my own preference but that is usually why I do the trim after the paint and polish.

Only 1 coat per paint & clear?
