i really enjoyed painting it and im looking forward to paint alot more. And honestly from begining to end including the back coat,changing color 8 times, and and complete dissassembly/cleaning of the brush at the end i only spent and and hour and 20 minutes and i was going slow doing the fades i bet the pros can knock the painting part out quick.
btw try running a white wing and atleast a white front half on the body and youll be set at night (all of our races are at night)
