STEP BY STEP

Before applying the surfacer, I sprayed all the etched parts with Mr. Metal

Primer to improve adhesion of all subsequent coats.

I sprayed the engine body including its cylinders

with Gunze Silver from the Super Metallic line,

specifically Super Fine Silver SM01.

As a base color, I chose Mr. Black Spray Putty Finishing Surfacer

1500 grit.

The exhausts were sprayed with a combination

of highly diluted AK Interactive Bronze and

Brass metallic paints in an irregular pattern.

If this effect is overdone, it can be toned down

with heavily diluted black paint. The final step

was spraying the exhaust pipe with Gunze GX114

Matt varnish.

The inner surfaces of the parts were painted

light grey according to the instructions,

using Gunze C325.

The uniformity of the basic spray can be broken up via lightening the gray color by adding a few drops of off-white C069 and creating a mottling effect.
