It is a good finish straight out of the mold, probably the best of the Australian manufacturers, BUT........ don't make the mistake I made!!! Either let the body cure naturally (ie many days in the summer sun), or take it to a spray booth and have it baked for a day. By many days in the summer sun, I mean you should actually be able to smell the resin going off, trust me on this.

There are a couple of "pulls" in the sides of the body (near the engine bay vents) that won't become evident till the body is fully cured...... It's too late when the topcoat is already on, I learnt this the hard way (even though I may be the only one that will pick it)......

For info, I painted mine myself and within 6 months of delivery...
