Banpei's two door panda Trueno from Japan

I decided to split my original topic as it was getting very long. The original topic can be found here.

Earlier this week I had some spare time on my hands and I decided to tackle one of the eyesores on the AE86:

The previous owner repainted the entire car, but omitted to paint the window mouldings, popup headlight surrounds, popup headlight brows and the side markers. I already painted the window mouldings a few years ago, so now the other three were left to be done.


There is a deep cut in the left moulding due to a misaligned panel (you can spot it in the photo above) and scratching against this panel when the popups open and close. I rectified the panel, but I left the above scratch.

After painting:



It's not the best paint job, but it's heaps better than what it was. It still requires a quick cut and polish and the orange side marker on the right side definitely needs a deep polish. After that, I probably need to do the grill as well as that's now the only unpainted piece.
That reminds me: the wiper arms also need a lick of paint!
