I like the color, but it looks like you could have thinned down the paint and put on more coats that were thinner, giving it a smoother surface.

yoh one question how can iremoved the paint that i already applied w/o using hazardous materials or going to hobby stores and buy thinners. TNX in advance!

Dip the figure in 90% Isopropyl alcohol. It should help to strip the paint.
The detailing is pretty good but I agree with the other poster - the 'metallic yellow' paint looks a little textured, giving it more of a matte look (at least in the pics) instead of shiny yellow like it's supposed to be. I appreciate the intention of giving the figure a more striking metallic yellow color but if you can't get a perfect gloss coat, I say just leave the yellow unpainted and just add a shiny coat of Future. :)
Whre do you get this material i can't find it anywhere! and also can i us 70% isopropyl alcohol as a substitute?tnx in advance.

Just keep the alcohol away from the clear plastic parts, it tends to dull them down. Also, prolonged soaking of the clear can make them brittle. A lesson I learned working on Sideswipe, that I am now goingto post in the "What I Learned" thread.
