Awesome, That is my favorite color for that year Charger. It is also my favorite body style for the Charger. That color is called Citron Yella. I built that same kit in the exact color with the black vinyl roof just like yours.
Where did you get the different hood for the car? I have been wanting to do this kit also, but I wanted a hood like the one you used and I know that the Revell GTX kit comes with a different hood.
I am using Tamiya lacquer spray paint out of the can (Black TS-14). I was wondering how much time do you wait between coats? Do you wet sand between coats? If you do not wet sand between coats, how do you handle any imperfections in the paint before you apply the final coat?
This is exactly what I am worried about. I know I can get the prep work done well, but what I worry about is getting the sanding and polishing right, especially in the tight spots and corners.
I don't use an airbrush. I paint straight from the rattle can. Do you think I can get similar results with the same Tamiya TS-14 right out of the can? Do you wet sand in between coats, and then just sand and polish your final coat?
I am thinking about doing a car in black. I have never done one in black before and I have heard that it is a tricky color to get right. What is the best way to get good results with black? I thought I read that a good way to do black is to use a flat black base coat and then a nice wet look clear over the flat black. Is that the best way to do it?
