Let the paint dry for about 15mins (lacquer....was dry to the touch pretty quickly) and pulled off the masking and the tape.

I had used Vallejo liquid mask on the interior....but even with a brand new xacto blade....it just pulled off in places I didn't want it to. So I broke out the Bare Metal Foil and used it for masking.....you get very sharp lines, and is pretty easy to use. There are a few touch ups I need to do, but for the most part it didn't turn out too badly.

The Diamond Green (lighter shade) came out a little brighter than I thought it would, and the color is washed out in the pictures from the flash as I just took it quickly. Next is to clear the body, probably do that Tuesday, in the mean time I have to paint the chassis and suspension parts....not going to be anything fancy there, just black....might pick out a few pieces here and there, maybe a quick dry brush to bring out the details. Put the interior together, have to lay down some green flocking for the carpet, and paint a few details, but it should be fairly quick.

Then the engine and put the rest of it together.....all to be done by Saturday hopefully!!!
