• Příprava: Clean all parts thoroughly to remove mold release agents and dust. A light sanding can improve paint adhesion.
• Základní nátěr: Apply a thin coat of primer before painting to ensure even color and better adhesion.
• Thin Coats: Apply multiple thin coats of paint rather than one thick coat to avoid obscuring details and to prevent paint runs.
• Doba schnutí: Allow adequate drying time between coats and before handling painted parts.
• Maskování: Use masking tape to protect areas you do not wish to paint, especially for window frames and two-tone schemes.

• Nepadnoucí díly: Ensure you have the correct parts for the step. Check for excess plastic (flash) on the parts and trim it with a hobby knife. Lightly sand mating surfaces if necessary.
• Nelepící se samolepky: Ensure the surface is glossy and clean. Use decal setting solution for better adhesion on curved or textured surfaces.
