i just painted a 1/24 trans am of mine black and it dried with a bunch of flaws. what is a good polishing kit to get. i need to snad it down, then put some kind of compound on it.
I use Micro-mesh kit KR-70. It starts at 1500 grit and goes up to 12000 grit. It also comes with a nice foam sanding block, some anti-static cream and lint free wipes.
I also use Novus polishing compounds #1 and #2. These are good for light duty applications.
The Micro-mesh kit can polish anything.

Heres a couple of pics of my first and second attempts with polishing. The Porsche was the first, the 350Z was the second done a few weeks ago.
HEY,
You forgot the pics.lol I have heard that the tamiys kit is ok, but i dont have any experience with it so dont quote me.

i guess ill get novus. i heard tamiya is good for making a good finish even better, not correcting flaws…
I was wondering if anybody would notice the lack of pictures?[:I]. I uploaded them to aol, but when I copy and paste the url in the image tags it doesn’t work. Just those annoying boxes with red x’s. I also tried rons site but was having no luck this afternoon. I will try later.

OK, finally got them loaded so here goes…
The 350Z was airbrushed with Testors british racing green, then polished with Micro-mesh and waxed. No clear coat was used. The model is almost done.
The Porsche was Testors yellow from a spray can. This too was polished with the same kit and then clear coated.
I was happy with the results for my first and second try. Will have more too share when I finish my Enzo Ferrari.
