again for the lights. paint silver on top of the clear red and orange. it looks better than painting the silver on the body. i actually been using clear paint to glue my clear parts, takes a bit longer to dry but just as effective.
jon_s: your window can still be saved. you'll just need to sand it from med grit to the finest grit you can find. polish it and then dip it in some floor polish.

with practive i think it will be perfect
with the engine cover, you actually needed to sand it back a little before painting. its that extra thickness of paint that is stopping you from fully closing

The metallic ones are really cool...they're actually photo-etched metal transfers, much like the metal emblems on the real car which are glued into place. They're really impressive and fantastically well detailed.

As for the paint thickness...that is not an issue on my Enzo, I was cautious about that and as far as I can tell it is actually a matter of the way the rear undertray is mounted. The way it is oriented at the moment means that the rear end of the car slumps downwards slightly such that the meeting points at the leading and trailing edges of the engine cover do not match with the surrounding bits of bodywork...and that results in the fact that the rear fenders don't match with the engine cover...with a little finagling it should be something that can be fixed, but at the moment I'm not going to worry too horribly much and just display it with the rear end opened up.
