I did the gloss red first, then masked it up, and then silver basecoat followed by candy red second.

It was the silver that bled!

I don't have any pics of the RG250 or the FZ250, these things don't survive well when you move house so they got thrown away . Back then I couldn't afford spray cans so it was all brush painted, not cutback with sandpaper or anything.

This model got the full works - coat of primer, sanded down, paint layers sanded with very fine grit paper, and finally turtle wax rubbing compound and wax! I just rushed it a little at the end, alas!
