Looking for pics of models painted with Testors acrylic teal.

Here's the stuff I'm talking about - not the "teal" in the 1/4 oz jars. 

I'm told it's a slightly different shade (not as dark) as Testors' enamel Chezoom Teal.  I'm also curious about its opacity.  Will the shade of primer affect its appearance? 

 

Bonus question:  What's a good primer for acrylics? 


What's the best way to paint this piece without obscuring the letters?

The area I'm talking about is the black strip between the trunk and the bumper.

I can't imagine getting the quality of results I'm looking for by using a small brush, but I'm not sure how to airbrush that area without covering the letters up.  I'm open to using either Testors acrylic or Testors enamel on this, if it makes a difference.

 

Feel free to post up examples of whatever method you suggest :)


How can I buy Revell enamel paints?

Revell's own site says they're not sold here or in Canada.  Has anybody been able to buy them from a reliable business in Europe?  Links would be appreciated.   


Anyone ever used Jimmy Flintsone's custom painting masks?

They also go by the name Tarpit Tape and feature various forms of flames.  I've never seen them mentioned here and was just curious about the quality etc. 

 

If you have pics of a project where you used these, I'd appreciate it if you'd post some.


Question about the custom wheels in AMT's '65 Lincoln

25 April 2013 - 09:09 AM

What 1:1 wheels are they meant to represent?  I'm fairly familiar with a lot of wheels & mfrs from the time, but I'm clueless as to what these are.
