Dinky Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thanks guys, not much progress here other than new plans in my head I'm not going to use the engine compartment sides so the engine will stay visible and not going to use the bumpers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Got some paint on it and to be honest, I don't really like it. I also got strange issues in the paint, some sort of scratches. This one might go for a swim soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 that color looks awsome .. to bad the scratches are there .. must be something in the primer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tubbs Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I too like the color, too bad about the cracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes, too bad. I'm not sure what im going to do, I might do it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I think the color looks great and yes, the scratches look like they are in the base coat or primer. Hopefully you won't have to repaint the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Must be in the primer for sure, its strange because it was not visible in the silver base coat. The whole thing will be resprayed, im out of candy and this paint is not for sale in Holland so i will choose something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skypower Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Sure is a shame you have to redo it, I really liked the color. Gonna be one bad ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bernard Kron Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Great color. It'll look fine once you get through the "issues" ... Looking forward to more, more, more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I must say the longer I see the color, the nicer it becoms :-) Bought the color in Czech republic, its way to expensive so ship one bottle so I will go for another color. Dont know what yet, got a motivation issue at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 (edited) hmmmm ....arno ...you need some pepper ......where ...no ....sun ......ever .... lol well i'm sure if you find a nice color you will get the build going again .. but hmm why not look for like a cool color with a vintage feel to it , i'm sure the shop in ambacht must have some color that gives it that clean but vintage vibe .. full fendered like that would be cool or could be cool some color idea's (maybe you hate them) (i love that gray shiney and yet ...)

Dinky Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Yeah Rich, I need loads off pepper, loads I got some nice colors and the guy here has some also but i need to find something to get the paint off, everything I tried so far doesn't work. By the way I spend a whole day trying to airbrush nail polish, different types and brands......... frustrating result and the smell in my house was terrible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way I spend a whole day trying to airbrush nail polish, different types and brands......... frustrating result and the smell in my house was terrible hmm thats to bad , you did thin it right ?? maybe ask here in the paint topic , i know people have gotten great results .. maybe there is a trick to it .. but yes i can imagine the smell ... being pffffftt about the paint i do think the stuff you used is tougher then what the average builder puts on his model .. try to start with some good old fashion elbow grease > or better said sand .. sand as much of as ... have you tried mr musscle ? put the parts in a seal bag spray it full of the musscle foam and let it sit for ...1-2-3 days worked for me ounce ... hey and again if you get tieres of it .. this might be the one shot at rying some weathering .. i know you are like the perfect finish builder and i love your perfect paint jobs (bog fan) but like said if it gets to a point where its not fun anymore like .... hey and i can always help you by giving pointers or ....

Dinky Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Thank Rich! Well the Mr Muscle doesnt work and Dasty doesnt do anything also, im going to buy some brake fluid Edited January 19, 2014 by Dinky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 hmmm unused brake fluid wont work if i'm correct arno ..... ?i ounce with the other deuce saltracer trew the body in paint stripper and that worked great but then the plastics went soft ...what about just sanding it smooth with fine paper and then painting it ..i said it lots of times before on brouwers in the past there is actually not really a need to completly strip paint .. its nice if you have a way to get it off easy but its not a mustjust try old fashion sanding i think those cracks you had are in the base coat and it you sand everything flat i think they will not come back ...and again why not try something different for a change on the body .. like maybe a tad rougher or ....your always welcome to take the body and fenders to me and let me see them .. i have been doing weird stuff to styrene for a while now lol .. maybe with a nice base coat and some oil paints ..... ?and hey i still believe you can even get it shiney and perfect without completly stripping the paint of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinky Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ow really so it should be used stuff.... Thought about some weathering, its a shame I sanded the hood and grill already otherwise I could have used the green stuff. I think I will try to sand the other parts also and then another layer of fresh paint. Thanks for the offer btw :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyrichard Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 post a pic of the sanded parts ? if you get them smooth i would try to shoot some paint again like you said .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
