I bought the 27MHz silver Celica and the red/clear body set. This used to be the clear one.

It's Tamiya Color "Mica Blue" in an aerosol spray can. I bought it because the color of my Celica is "Spectra Blue Mica" and it matches almost perfectly. :D

I painted the outside. I had intended to leave the windows clear - I carefully masked them off with masking tape, but I forgot to mask the INSIDE too, so I got some over-spray on the inside. When I peeled the masking tape off the outside, I was PISSED. Oh well, live and learn.

The wheels on my real car are satin finish silver.

couldn't you just clean off the inside of the windows carefully with a little paint thinner?

also, did you use clearcoat?

I don't know if thinner will have any effect on dried paint. I suppose it's worth a shot.

I did not use clearcoat. I probably will on the Nissan Skyline bodyset I just bought.

I don't mean to get it crushed, I just meant to have it under the tire, not completely under, but kinda in front of it... I hope you understand what I mean!
