I used TS-43. That is the orignal color for this kit. I have seen this kit also in PS-54 of the Anniversary Model on a fare here and I didn't like it. I was intending to do that too, but it just didn't look right. So I took the original color. I am quite pleased with it :-)

Hey thanks Lars!

Nope no clear coating. I used the original color. The trick is to have at least 4 layers of paint. The first one is always horrible and the second looks nice while it is still wet, but when it is dry it has lost is shine a bit. So I did it again and discovered that when you have at least four layers you get a good result, but it will cost you two canisters of spray paint instead of one....

In between the layers I sand it a bit to remove some dust spots.

I am working on my XLT and it is almost finished where I sprayed it with 2 layers and it looks great. I will post it later this week I guess.
