I have the little bottles of TEstors enamel gloss black and Flat Black Paint. My question is has anybody ever mixed the two to get more of a matte finish? I need to paint some engine components but they aren't flat or gloss in colour they are more of that matte hiny plastic finish.

Anyone had success mixing these two paints for that affect?

Well I was able to get away to the city today, to pick up some tires for my real car, and decided to stop a the hobby shop, After a 18 year Hiatus I am gonna try my hand at modelling again. I went to the Shop in Sudbury, and although he had a LARGE collection of plastic model kits, there were no early model nascars and nothing really jumped off the shelf saying build me. So I saw the Grand National which has been a top 5 favorite car of mine forever.

I really kick myself for discarding all my supplies so many year ago, being on disability now, I really couldnt get everything I wanted to but got the basics. The wife wont be happy, but maybe it is sometimes better to ask forgiveness than permission .

That being said hopefully I will be able to find some cheap nascar models down the line as that is my true love, and I will collect all the other little items I need along the way.

I am going to use this thread to show pictures of the progress on my progress, and if anyone has any photos of Grand nationals stashed away for reference material that would be a huge help.

Here is the first pic of the what the model should look like completed.




More to come soon, as my health allows, I really want to thank the members of this forum for sparking my interest and love for this hobby again, the great work YOU ALL do is motivating and inspiring, thanks all.
