Ford Focus 2004 BP Sponsor (Job Log)

Water washed. 

Remove and punching rivets. 

The inner surface was painted black to block sunlight penetration. (for Anti Subsurface scattering) 

The two-tone color will be painted with gradation.
If I paint the base color with masking, it will look like this.

I made a carbon pattern using stockings. 

To attach the decal, I coated it with glossy clear in advance. 

I should have painted it yellow green... 

 

Decal work done. 

I used Vallejo with brush. 

Clear coat. and painted base color of other parts. 

Painting with paint brush.
Vallejo Mecha Primer is good. 

Sanding... 

Polished. 

This is clear trouble.
I kept it for a day in an airtight container to paint the next day.
Then there were countless pinholes all over the body shell. 

Inevitably, I re-coated the clear and sanded it... 

And polished again. 

Masked and painted matte black. 

Masked once more and painted glossy black. 

Panel line accenting... 

Paint with paint brush. 

As in the decal manual, the marked area should be painted black. (I missed) 

The tail lamp reflector used Hasegawa Mirror Finish. 

Assemble ready. 

The grill uses the enclosed soft mesh. 

Gunpla stickers were used on the mirrors on the rear bumper. 

Grill parts must be firmly fixed.
In this case, an adhesive that is slightly soft after hardening is better than an adhesive that is hard after hardening. 

All other decals have been attached. 

The seat belt doesn't seem to be visible even after it's finished, so I didn't detail-up it and just used a decal.
In this case, it is more natural to attach only a part of the starting point than to completely adhere the decal. 

The tire decal was coated with matte varnish to kill the gloss, and the window decal was coated with glossy varnish with UV Cut function. 

Wind shield parts are easy to fall off, so it is recommended to hold them firmly. 

I used Hasegawa sheet paper for sub brakes lamp. 

The rear windshield, like the front windshield, should be firmly fixed. 

The rivet head is expressed using an ultra-small steel ball. 

Side mirrorr detail-up. 

The band for fixing the fire extinguisher is expressed as a Gunpla sticker. 

Assemble interior. 

Assemble body. 

Attach detail parts.
