dark blue with bright silver.

I'm steering away from art deco, despite the fact the car cries out for it. I looked at French Blue with Dark blue wheels and just couldn't bring myself to do it. I want understated elegance so I have selected a colour I suspect Ember will approve of. It's not 100% the colour I want, but the best I can do with a spray can.

Can't wait to see it!

Awaiting the grand unveiling with great excitement.

Sorry Denny. Waiting for my wheels to arrive from the UK.

[Ember]

Not a good enough excuse.

Painted my Atalante today and it came out very well except for one small sag in the clear coat. Dave (and all you other painters) can I sand this out or is there another recommended approach.

[Ember]

I'd sand it out with some very fine wet'n'dry emery paper. Then either shoot another clear coat or give the lot a cut and polish (depending on the type of clear you've used).

Now we'll see what the expert says. :)

I was planning on using 1000 wet sand paper and shooting another coat overall. What do you mean by give the lot a cut and polish. I'm using Tamiya.
