Gregg Posted June 22, 2006 Author Share Posted June 22, 2006 Thanks, guys. The black is flat black that I polished out, no clear at all, just Tamiya polishes and paint. Trick I found is not to use polishing rag to do the work. I used Q-Tips, and we (Jairus and I) put this tip in our column. When you use a polishing rag or cloth, you have no control, I don't care how small you make the rag around your finger tip, you are still polishing or removing paint using a scale area of about a foot or more! It's like polishing with a tent! Using a Q-Tip you get precise control, and virtually no burn through. The blue is Tamiya I think either Mica or Metallic Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTmike400 Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 He's alive! Those are going to be great models Gregg. The Marnello is going to be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoom Zoom Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 It warms my heart to see Ferraris painted in anything but red Nice work! Black is a great color for a Maranello, and the F355 looks like it's 30 minutes from being done 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Kingsley Posted June 22, 2006 Share Posted June 22, 2006 I like the black one. I don't know much about Ferraris but I know they look good. I have to get going on my neon green Enzo. You know, just to be diffrent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
