The model paint wouldn't dry in the end. A week later it was still wet I decided to 'cold enamel' it which is basically filling the voids with a coloured molding resin. That worked 100% better.



Ready for the nose then.

I have also been working on the bezels for the dials. I got some chrome bezels from ebay but they are designed to go behind the standard MX5 acrylic shield so I got some laser cut acrylic discs and glued them up with some clear setting epoxy.



Its turned out well so far but I'm waiting for the laser guy to properly cut me the leather so I can mount up my warning lights and finish making the center dash.

Cheers
Stot
