Tamiya Mazda MX-5 – Steps 9 and 10

These two steps were about the seats and interior door panels.

Here are the two galleries:

I tried two different types of masking for the seats (flat black vs. semi-gloss black). The easiest approach was wide masking tape and trimming down. In retrospect, the sides of the seats where the red trim is so tiny that I should have painted some metallic wire red and glued it to the seat. I don’t like the sloppy brushwork.

The door panels came together nicely, and I’m impressed by the lacquer spray-paint gun metal color.

Both steps took about five hours.
