I've never done any diecast stuff before but the paint on this thing sucked. I got it as a gift ... years ago probably and was just going to assemble it with some cool wheels and fix the paint. Paint fixing didn't work so here are pics of where it's at.
Godawful paint out of the box:
Hope for the future. OOB paint looks half decent at this distance but it doesn't reflect hardly any of the magazine.
Clear coat failure. The stripes show it best. I figured there might be some lack of compatibility between what was on the car and my Dupli Color clear. Oh well.
Tangle with 220 grit and you LOSE sucka! I'll be letting a new can of oven cleaner handle the rest.
