WIP: Airfix Porsche 928 S4: Part 4

Bodywork.

First of all, a little reminder of the body in primer.






Super shiny smooth.
This meant that the first layer of paint was equally smooth. No texture on the primer = no texture on the top coat.




Nice, no?
But that's not good enough.
That's only one layer of paint and it isn't going to be enough to hold up to any sort of polishing. So a couple of more coats were applied. Inevitably a few spots appeared here and there that needed to be taken care of.



So the whole body got the  high grit sanding treatment.


The second shot is there to show the difference between sanding grades.
The left side is 2000 and the right is 4000.
I managed to go through to primer on one of the door trims so that needed to be masked and resprayed.



After a bit of elbow grease.





Like a mirror.
A few bits of body detailing and it was mounted onto the chassis.
Done.
