Hmm... that's true.. Especially I am going to paint the body in black... the Black should cover the gold after all.....  
Thanks for your advise.  Will pay more attention next time....  :hands ...

It is right. Paint the silver color the last. Be careful now, the adhesion of silver (or any metallic colors) is not as good as other colors. If you apply masking tape on silver, it may tear off the color. Any color applied over silver color will also be easy to peel off too...

maybe u can make a clear coating on the top of the silver paint first.....but make sure the clear paint dry well.....must dry enough....dry for few days....then u may using the masking tape on la!!!
but just remind u......dun use any hair dryer to dry up the paint when u are using masking tape on any part of the body.......the heat may make the material in masking tape melt....stick on the body....make it all game over la!!!!
it's my own stupid expericence!!!!!

I actually ask my cousin who is in printing business to do it for me...  But I guess any print shops should have that kind of service...  But really it's only the kind of paper you are using that makes the difference.  Otherwise, just find a high quality color photocopier and should do the job just fine....

do  u  have  to  find  an  original  one  as  an  example  before  u  reproduce  the  stickers  ah?  i  also  have  a  pajero  waiting  for  restoration  ah...  thx

佢有全新殼... 自然有貼紙去 copy 啦!

Yes... you do need to find an original one to reproduce.... But of course, I can help you out with that... I have asked her to make me 5 copys!
BUT!
Wait until I see the actual product first... I haven't seen how different they are in compare with the original........
Will post photos later!

Ok people... Thanks for following up with my project.  The Pajero is 99.9% finished.  All it's missing is side mirrors (that I forgot to paint....), Stickers (that I haven't received yet) and lights.  But besides that, the whole project is almost completed!!!  
One question though, as you can see the windshield and windows has been wear out pretty badly.  In fact, it feels like a coating on top being set aside for so long.  Does anyone know how I can get that coating off or I need new windows?  Please advise!!

And I think this will be on next time when I decide to change the oil shocks since you need to install spacers inside the shocks shaft...

Thank you thank you....
It is a 1/10 cover......  It's a 1994 product from Tamiya.....  Some people call it CC01 and some will call XC chassis.......  

My next project is a FF01 that I got about a week ago.  I am planning on using a cover that I don't think I ever seen in Hong Kong.  I ordered it from England... STAY PUT!  

Well done.
Are u gonna paint the front indicator "lenses"?  Or leave them "smoky feel" ?

HI mike,

個玻璃窗你可以先拆佢出來....然後用省銅水"brasso"打磨......五金舖買....真正的五
金舖....not"展x"...ok!!??.....
用一些舊tee....棉布之類....加省銅水慢慢打圈打磨.....然後再用乾淨的棉布摔乾淨.....重覆做幾次...包保塊玻璃(膠料)"令立立".......我有好多膠件同金屬件都用呢個方法做返"令"....可以試試.......如果你架車車身有上透明油的話...亦可以幫佢拋下光...但如果冇透明油就唔好試...會磨甩油的......try try la!!!!
