i used a 2year old tamiya paint pen and the finish was excellent... better than hand brushing thats for sure(and it came out better than my shoddy spray job on the outside...)

hey dude use a tamiya paint pen for the inside... paint the out side first then do the inside.... i masked half my enzo but that was a pain in the ****** and i had one of the pens laying round from yonks ago so i gave it a go.... the give a good finish and u wont go over the edges cvoz the tip is bevelled.... the only prob is that they only come in flat and gloss blk no semi gloss....
hope that helps...

Yep! Agree with above!

Just note, I read somewhere that the Enzo's panels are well scaled (and fitting well) - before painting! Apparently after painting it's a quite tight fit, so beware! But then, it was onlt one guy that mentioned it... but it can't hurt to be carefull.

Just use Tamiya masking tape. It should not leave any residue.

enzo body panels - help !
Posted by Anonymous on Thursday, September 9, 2004 9:10 PM
i have the interior and chassis of my tamiya enzo going great, but i am not brave enough to start the body. my problem is that the insides of all the tiny panels will have to be painted black before i can start the real outer surface treatment. im worried about how i should mask off the black portions while i do the outer surfaces....... should i use masking tape ? will that leave residue after staying on for goodness knows how long it takes me to get a good result on the outer panels ? or should i use maskol ? or should i use blu tack? i dont want to ruin it !

thanks for all your help !
