Beautiful conversion.
Here's a slightly different car that could be accomplished with the MCG model as well:

Fantastic! I've replicated a few vinyl tops but yours looks perfect! How'd you do it?

My goodness! It looks like it came straight from the manufacturer. That's really...
... very well executed.

Vinyl top
Hi,Christofer.
In fact,not easy to explain.All is in the fashion to use your gun peint.First,I use a professional spray gun.Pressure
at 5 Bars or 70 Psi.After a dry primer,I put a coat of gloss black.When dry,I put a new coat of black but with the gun strigger at 30% of his normal utilisation and at no less than 25 Cm of the model.The model should be on a turntable to have a good look from all angles.Care :at the second point too close of the model the paint is too gloss.Too fare,the paint is drying before to be on the model.Just find the balance!
I hope to have been understandable.
