Quick update, starting the CF process

Used kit decal for spraying

Used large pattern for the upright portion of the pan



Pattern cut and masks prepared for back part of chassis pan



Small pattern applied on PE that will be removed and bent to put on chassis pan



More to follow

Cf experiment in full swing

Large pattern , with TS smoke on top after pulling masks







Small pattern



Some touch up needed



No CF on these parts per pictures





Will use regular pattern masks on suspension

And mix of decals on rest

And now paint

First time using Splash paints, think I need more practice here



It ate through the pink prinervfur some reason,



And then the fish eyes, so I stopped to consider options



Interestingly I sprayed other parts with TS49 to test and had no issues at all

So here I stand



Will see

Great work so far, pretty frustrating about the Splash paints fish eyes, I feel your pain.

Great work on the carbon fiber! Sorry about the paint reaction on the primer. Body work can be extremely frustrating at times. Maybe just go with the TS instead?

Saw the finished kit build by Frederic Suber at Retromobile. WAAAUUUW.

I googled his build and as always beautiful finish

My only thing is the front plate that is a separate part i have blended in which matches my real pictures and his CF looks great however my references show the patterns in different areas on the real car

This is what I’m going for

So here is a big update

Lots of CF still to go

Chose TS paints decanted through the same setup and much happier

Sprayed CF









Combination sprayed and decal



Decals



Wings



Wheels, ready for paint, inserts don’t fit in rims







Chassis pan



And body

C/F decaling looks great. You say you overspray with smoke, do you also varnish, if so do you gloss or S/G? Good save on the bodywork, any idea what caused the original problems?

Red paintjob looks super.
