So relaxing o watch the work without all of the over-explaining and feeling the need to impress by throwing out ALL of the spec details.

  • @pineapplej7310
    @pineapplej7310 Před rokem

    I really enjoyed the build! I have a suggestion, I would reccomend hitting your paint with a bit of wet dry sand paper (600-800 grit) before clear coating, and then hit your first layer of clear with 1000 grit. Then your last layer of matte will look more solid and the decals will appear sunken in the finish like a factory paint job!
