Thanks! No. The only clear I used was a couple coats of matt clear on the 3D printed tires. Other than that, the rest of the model has no clear at all.

Fantastic work!
The red looks great. Especially if you compare it with the dull red on the first picture.
You really brought that car back to live.

Have you used any product to disassemble the parts without damaging? I have some old kits I would like to restore but I'm afraid to break parts.
Time ago I remember a member that used an ultrasonic machine to remove paint and parts became disassembled

It depends on what are they glued with. Totally different plan for every glue...

Yeah, I know procedure should be different depending on the glue. Supposing that polystyrene cement was used, is there a safe way to separate parts with minimum risk of breaking?. I know that cement dissolves the plastic to make the join but, may be there is a product or method that can help to separate
