ClareWentzel Posted April 7, 2010 Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 Hi J T. Haven't talked to you in a while. This is a great looking model. What kit and decals did you use? Love the turquoise color. That had to have taken nerve. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted April 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) thanks its tamiya kit and decals. the decals were a bit yellow but i stuck them in the window for a day and they turned out good engine painted, box stock other than making new springs. just added paint detail. even added grey gaskets under the valve covers and airbox thing. i just stuck it on for the pic its not gonna be blue lol.

MikeH Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Great work. What type of paint/how many coats/etc. do you use so you don't polish through and ruin the decals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTRACING Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 thanks on this car i didn't even use primer since no filling was needed. the color is enamel from model master airbrushed on.( jar paint) the clear i used was krylon crystal clear just from the spray can.i sprayed enough coats on so the decals were "flush" then 2 extra then sand with 2000. until everything is dull. any shiny spots are low areas. then tamiya course polish and then meguires scratch x 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMesawitz Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 I hear Krylon Crystal Clear used a lot but I have yet to try it. I should get off the pot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
