    Ladder cars?

    Thanks. I sanded the balsa fenders as smooth as i could before CA glue, up to 400 grit. Sanded again to 400 grit after coating CA glue, then the primer coat was so smooth i only used 600 grit before gloss black paint. I plan to finish with holographic color change paint over the gloss black...
