Tamiya Lunchbox Painting Guide

I make video's of RC cars from the Golden era. This painting guide shows the 6 steps I take to paint a plastic hard body shell. it includes preparation of the surface, what grades of sand paper to use, how to make the paint more resilient, how to get an even coat of paint, how to paint the smaller details on the body shell and finally, applying lacquer to complete the paintwork. I also give advice on decals and when to apply them so you don't ruin your project. For this demonstration I am using matt spray paint and lacquer as in my experience it is the easiest way to get started. A hot sunny day is the best time to spray paint as the paint disperses better from the can if it is warm. just don't let the aerosol get too hot by leaving it in direct heat.
