Actually, the colors they list for body colors are all aerosol paint cans. I primed, wetsanded, then painted, although there are definitely a few areas that didn't come out perfect.

I actually have been thinking about getting back into it because it's pretty calming when you've got a couple hours of free time.

The thing I don't like about that model kit you did is it's a curbside kit... I hate those ones! My favorite part of model building is assembling the chassis and engine!!!
I can't stand not having an engine either. It would be so much better to be able to open the hood and check out that stable liking under it!
