addicted2modeling Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Hello, I just applied a 3rd, "light mist" coat on my Silverado model kit. It has been primed with duplicolor's gray primer and base coated with 3 light mist coats of duplicolor's GM, victory red paint. For some odd reason, it appears to be pinkish after drying. Is this normal for the 3 light mist coats that I've applied? Would it be red after a heavy coat application? I sprayed it on as red in the light mist coat phase and it dries up as pinkish.

ferrarijoe Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 In my experience the more coats you do the deeper the color. I did my Ferrari today with a gray base and it took 3 mist and 2 wet coats to get red to the way I wanted. After your wet coats you should be good.

addicted2modeling Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Thanks man. I'll probably apply the heavy coat tomorrow. Right now its been raining like crazy here. I usually spray on the coats, then take it to my vacant room with the fan running to let it dry overnight. It's going to be a two-tone color truck. This is what I want it to look like.

addicted2modeling Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 That looks very good! What brand of paint did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferrarijoe Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Model Master for the red. It's acrylic air brushed on. Get it a hobby lobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Right now its been raining like crazy here. That might be the problem- humidity will cause the paint to "blush" like what's happening in the pics. The paint will dry dull and several shades too light.

my80malibu Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Tony, You Might want to try, and find a place to paint with Lower Humidity. High humidity can cause paint problems, of course in Houston Theres probably not many dry rooms, around this time of year. I dont Know if thats what you have going on with this paint job. The coverage does look very Even, so maybe the Heavier coats might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southpier Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 flat yellow between the primer and red might have made it pop. red (even primer) is a tough cover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
