it's amazing what a nice shiny clearcoat can do. i usually give stock bodies a clearcoat for shine and also it's a good way to finish off decal application. makes em look like they were meant to be there
First off, most of the Xmods I've bought from RS look like shit out of the box, and have all sorts of blemishes and crappy clear. I guess I could have painted this another color, but the origional blue is the best.
