wow they look great nice repaint on the vette and of course love that bird. if it helps any i have been painting the whole car and then going back with a fine brush and flat black on the windows once you clear coat they glaze over nice.

Yeah that's basically what I did, I have painted enough of the SCX Tuners that I am getting pretty good with the "windows attached" painting technique. Generally, if I am going to use silver for the windows I paint them first, then mask them off until the rest of the painting is done. I normally use Gunmetal matallic for the window's but in this case since the car was white I wanted as much contrast as possible so I went with Black metallic! I prefer to mask it off and paint it last, because the spray paint yields such a smooth finish, but in this case I did go back and touch up the side windows with black and then clear coated the thing. Main thing on these small cars is to avoid too many layers of paint, because you will loose details and it will look blobby! My only problem here was being impatient and not letting the body color fully dry!
