    @fiveten, thank you, Spiros. Indeed, the airpressure of those rattle cans I so much higher than on the airbrush. I think I will do the next session outdoors so I can keep a larger distance without painting the surroundings of the bench table.

    A wise decision to spray outside (or, at least, in some kind of open space like a garage) with rattle cans, my friend @johnb!

    @fiveten, since there is quite some overspray, I do not want to use the garage, otherwise my 1:1 Suzuki might look silver afterwards as well 🙂

    You bet it will, my friend @johnb 😄
    So, no garage, only outside!

    While waiting for higher temperatures to be able to paint the covers, I gave the exhaust tips a final wash.

    Nice exhausts, @johnb, I’m sure you’ll get the hang of the spray cans, which one are you using, Tamiya?

    @richardmcstay48gmail-com, thanks a lot, Richard. I'm glad you informed me about doing those exhaust tips.
    @chinesegeorge, thank you, George. Indeed, using the Tamiya rattle cans for it.

    After some coats of Tamiya TS76, mica silver, and some rounds of grinding because it did not look as I wanted, this is how the panels look like at this moment.
