In Topic: Clear coating race car models. Should they be that shiny?!

18 April 2013 - 03:31 AM

First off, there is not enough info on the question at hand. Are you modeling a car before it hits the track for the season or after it has started? Is it a drag car, a road racer, a dirt or asphalt car?

 

I've lettered hundreds of race cars back in the day. I would say at least 99% of them had at least a decent gloss to them. Most of these were dirt modifieds and street stocks that were shiny when I lettered them. By the end of the season they might not have been so shiny.

 

I honestly think there is no correct answer to the question without more information.

You hit it, it all depends on who ever did the master depends on how the resin copy turns out. If a person does not finish the master in a way that it can be copied. Jimmy takes modeling clay to finish off the inside to make it smooth on the inside so that it will release.

You mean like this?

I started on the ramps for the trike. Just a little sanding and paint and they will be done.
 I used ribbed sheet for the rear tires as they need some traction. The ramp for the front tire is .030 and the edges of all three are finished with .040 x .060 square stock.
