Erm... by not being aware that it's supposed to be difficult? Seriously, I just threw a can of Halfords white primer at it, followed by a coat of gloss for the decals then a coat of matt. Made sure my hands were clean before touching it of course...

That is so true of so much in life. Why oh why do we overcomplicate things once we get to be teenagers ? Or is that just the effect the female of the species has on us ?  :rolleyes:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

That's where I go wrong.

IME white isn't any more difficult that most other colours as long as you prime and then undercoat.  I use a white undercoat which I then usually clear over for the colour coat as it's just "off" enough to not look too stark.

Gloss Black on the other hand scares me...

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
