Well I've gone and done it now, I actually sprayed paint on the scratch build, not all but some. I went at it today and have the doors and undersides of the hood and trunk lid based and clear. if the rest of the car looks like the doors, I will run it as is until next spring and then worry about the cut and buff.
I will dive back in tomorrow am and get the rest of the base and stripes laid down, and shoot clear sat AM. with any luck the booth will come apart by Sunday morning and the rest of the weekend will be a steady beer IV.
