I'm new to reading rec.models.scale, and I've got a question
for those of you who built car models. Recently I completed a Fujimi
kit of a Honda CRX. My problem is,...how does one go about making
the headlights appear more realistic. At the time, I painted the
plastic on the body behind the clear plastic lense with plain old
silver enamel paint......with poor results. Real headlights seem to
have an aluminum back too them, but most newer cars have this whiteish
look to them. Next time I was going to try Bare-metal foil behind
the lense, but if anyone has got a better idea I'd like to hear it.
