While my jag build has only just moved onto the rear suspension, so a while away from getting any major body parts, i was wondering if a re-spray would be easy or not.

I am not 100% happy that the bonnet and doors really have the depth of colour and shine i see in the model in the launch advert.

Recently i saw on facebook someone had re-sprayed theirs in a similar but metallic green. Really lovely deep shine and smooth finish to the paint.

I know you would have to rub down the existing paint and prime but just wondering if anyone has any views with this being a diecast model (ie if i rub off the existing paint am i going to end up with a bad surface possibly).

I guess with the interior colors it maybe limits the body colours but any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Thanks

Thanks for the advice. Sounds like a plan.

I have used halfords primers in the past on plastic kits so i know they are some decent primers.

I think i will give it ago (it was always at the back of my mind) as it certainly needs a better finish (certainly on mine).

Just need to track down a suitable top coat then. Those zero paints look quite useful unless halfords have something in a can that would make the task easier.

Thanks again

Tony
