Jeff,
I didn't take any offense to your comments about my '65 Mustang body......it's all good.
Bolink are missing the big picture with all of the lexan bodies as they just don't have the foresight to provide even minimal decals. They are missing out on a good thing, but than that's their decision. Including only window masks and no decals sucks.
The quality of the moulding itself isn't up to the standards of Pro-Line or HPI and Tamiya shame them horribly as they make some extremely detailed bodies.
I hand brushed the headlights and bumpers on my Mustang from the inside. I used silver which is a pain as it doesn't flow well and it took several coats to get it to look reasonable. It might have looked better I imagine had I used chrome paint instead. If I buy another one, I'll try the chrome next time.
The blue and white are Parma Fascolor paints sprayed on with my Paasche airbrush.

The body looks great (as much as a Bolink body can) - I wish HPI or someone else would make some classic car bodies, especially Mustangs.
I'm not bashing your Bolink body man - I just bought the same thing....
How did you paint the head/tail lights and bumpers? Are they brushed from the inside or did you mask it off and spray it?
