Haha I wholeheartedly agree! There's a whole load of new patience levels I'm having to find, but it was a target of mine for this year, to delve deeper, into the dark arts that is decal work lol

Looking good 👍

Good work once again Chris, I'm getting used to a red Calsonic instead of blue ☺️ Great work with those decals, especially the hood ones with all those vents and openings. Well done 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you so much Karl 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊 yeah I was a little nervous at first, but it wasn't too bad in the end, it helped it came in separate parts

Really nice finish, Chris. Seeing the Calsonic livery in red reminds me of those old video games like Street fighter or Mortal Kombat where they would just change the colours and make a whole new character!

Thanks very much Thomas 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊 haha yes I know exactly what you mean, choosing the alternate outfit, which I did often enough unsurprisingly 😂

that number 12 decal, on the hood, after application, did you cut it to show the dividing line between hood and fender? Did you use some kind of decal softener?

I did cut it. I used Mr mark setter neo to get the decals down. Then once down and dried, I used micro sol (twice) to get all decals to conform to the body shape and once dried, carefully cut, using a fresh blade, into the panel line and then used micro sol again to get those areas conformed better into the panel lines. I also did it for the 'calsonic' logos on either sides and the 'calsonic' & 'nissan' on the rear
