I spent time with the Gen8 this past weekend, and I decided to start clearing out the windows and paint the roof.


First, I cleared out the windows with Tamiya Polycarbonate body cleaner




And used my trusty Frog Tape to mask stuff off.




Painted the top with Tamiya PS-5 Black, then Tamiya PS-55 Flat Clear. I then decided to go ahead and put Plasti-Dip on top of that for the texture. If the Plasti-Dip peels off, at least I'll still have the Matte Black look underneath.








I wanted to keep the window frame from the decals, so I cut the middle blacked out part of the decals out.






I feel like it came out looking pretty decent.
