  11.         I'm new to reading rec.models.scale, and I've got a question
  12. for those of you who built car models.  Recently I completed a Fujimi
  13. kit of a Honda CRX.  My problem is,...how does one go about making
  14. the headlights appear more realistic.  At the time, I painted the
  15. plastic on the body behind the clear plastic lense with plain old
  16. silver enamel paint......with poor results.  Real headlights seem to
  17. have an aluminum back too them, but most newer cars have this whiteish
  18. look to them.  Next time I was going to try Bare-metal foil behind
  19. the lense, but if anyone has got a better idea I'd like to hear it.
