        Hmm... they look pretty good.

        But you car needs some help. At least get rid of those stickers out back. And give it a wash, maybe even polish or wax, or something! It is so ugly.

        Sorry. :roll:

              Model Master and Testor are the same company, and Model Master is higher end then Testors products.

              While I'm on the subject, the tailights do look horrible, but no worse then the rest of the car. Honestly I think I have seen e30's in better shape at junkyards.

                Oooo touchy touchy. Sorry about that Kris..i dont build models or study model paint day in day out. One is more expensive then the other and modelmaster is the more expensive and i have used it before and it didnt work well, i tried testors and it worked better.

                For the love of Christ who gives a damn about god damn model paint as long as it does the job thats all that matters. :roll:

                  amazing, I find it, how one adjective, in this case "fucking," can change the entire mood of a post.

                  remove that word, and re-read it.

                      My process would be to call AMS and pay them for a set of genuine smoked tails. Not halfass shitty looking sprayed painted by an idiot tails.

                      You know what looks like shit? The screen you see every time you try to visit the forum once you have been banned. Get used to it.

                        I agree with jordan all the way. The peeling clearcoat and faded trim makes it look even worse. :(

                            Sucks to be him. Guess he will go join a Caddy forum now.
