This is a very fine kit, as is the car itself. Excellent molding quality. However, the inner door chrome strips had to be shaved at one end and bent inwards to suit the space. And the upper chrome strip above the front grille had a connection with the parts tree right at its very front - the first place when you look at the car. So I applied Bare Metal Foil to this part, as well as the other chromed parts, where cut from the tree. I used Tamiya metallic blue acrylic spray paint, followed by two clear coats. The front grille was given a blackwash. The signal and stop lamps have Bare Metal Foil at their bases too, for better light reflection.
