That's all for now... more pictures in the gallery..

Hi, Did you prime it with the sideskirts in place? If so I would remove them, fill the knock out mark on the left front one (inside) and re-prime them again, as well as the area behind them

Alright.. I see what you mean John... I'll get it filled and reprimed
Yup.. I primed it together with the side skirts in place. I was also wondering.. should I spray the sideskirts seperate from the main body or together with it?
Thanks Alex... the reply was fast! Thanks Guys..

I would most definatly paint them seperatly. Also When you prime for Dark Yellow, I would use a dark brown color. This can act as a pre-shade as well as a prime. Then when you spray the Dark yellow, you can let a little of the dark brown show through at the edges of panels etc.
