I've done some more work on the AMT kits today, The Corvette now has it's white top coat and next it will be masking and blue paint. The Mustang is now Candy Apple Red but there is something funny going on with the Zero Paints and the plastic used for this kit. Apart from the moulding lines and a small patch on the bonnet the primer was good and nice and smooth over the rest of the body but as soon as I applied the first very light colour coat the bonnet and roof, along with a couple of other small areas, started to look like I's been over them with coarse wire wool. A second coat only seemed to make things worse. I've given it four coats with the last two going on fairly heavy and wet, this has hidden some of the marks but I'm now hoping there's enough paint to allow the rest to be polished out with cutting paste.
