Spiny Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Looks dfecent progress with the paint. I'm guessing from your edit comment you're struggling with getting the photos. To be honest, Google only works for showing photos quite intermittently, better to use a photohost if you can, The link below describes how to use Flickr (first 1000 photos are free), although there are other sites: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar212 Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 Third time lucky, thanks to Spiny. After a crushing end to my previous build a Mercedes 300SL, body accidently got stepped on new one on order. I thought I would give the Aventador ago, the plan is to paint in Giallo Orion Flash 0056 (Pearl) and carbon fiber. Primed and ready for paint. Top coat before pearl. Pearl coat and 2k cleared 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevlar212 Posted February 13, 2021 Author Share Posted February 13, 2021 First go at cutting out and applying carbon fiber decals, a bit fiddly keep dropping the small bits, the question is how to cover the back of the wing, without showing the edge of the upper decal? The rear splitter is going to be a bugger loads of right angles and edges. I now realize I should have put down a base coat of gunmetal or semi gloss black. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pouln Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Your paintwork looks fantastic and I’m not at all jealous about the carbon decal work you are up to. Looking really difficult. Good luck with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking really difficult. Good luck with that. Thanks Pouln Nearly finished with the carbon, the small parts were a pain as well as the side vents. Was thinking the next time, I might consider printing my own Hydro graphics film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
