AMT68

Sprayed this '69 Chevelle earlier in the week with Rust-Oleum Acrylic Lacquer over a Dupli-Color shade and the shine is better than the '64 Impala I sprayed in the spring. Bob's '41 Willys came out much nicer straight out of the can than mine which required a great deal of wet sanding to produce a shine. Nevertheless think I'll be using this product more often in the future especially since Bob has shown it can be successfully sprayed over Tamiya paints which I frequently use.

I've had issues with auto lacquers adversely affecting base metallic color coats when sprayed too wet without adequate light initial coats which hasn't been an issue with Testors Glosscote. Just used Wet Look Clear on my latest build and despite orange peel it did shine up very nicely. Thanks for the info on the Rusto Lacquer with the black chair as I'll keep that in mind when using the product. May try Mr Super clear as I've heard other positive comments. BTW....just saw Testors WLC on Hobby Lobby's website and apparently it is still in stock but maybe only temporarily?

Thank you Beamerman, I'm satisfied with the results but it's not quite perfect. Definitely some room for improvement.

That Willy's turned out great Bob and doesn't appear from the pictures like it will need much wet sanding. I've never thought to try the 2X enamel clear but think it would be worth attempting.

Thanks George and good luck with your build. Thank you Larry.

I've had that experience plenty of times. ....and I like the sound of that. All very valuable information and off to find a test piece to start spraying.

Thanks Jim. Thanks John. Though basic it is a fun build. They were great looking cars but I rarely see them at car shows.

Thanks for the advice Dave and I plan on spraying an extra hood that I have in the parts boxes. Looking forward to Bob's results.

Thanks Michelle. Thank you Ace. Thanks Phillipe, I've already purchased another can of this color. Thanks John, of all the great Bill Mitchell designs, the Riviera is my favorite. Thanks Eric, and Tom Thank you David, I'm still developing my painting skills so I have to be persistent at times with the finishing process. Thank you Chris.

Bob, I recently used that same product on the '64 Chevy body pictured below and it is wet sanded. I'll probably go for some additional wet sanding to improve the shine. Note this has been sprayed over a Dupli-color auto lacquer paint. Also I'm about to experiment with the Rust-oleum Lacquer pictured below on a Tamiya TS lacquer. Just to see if there would be any compatibility issues.

Thanks for sharing the tip. I'll have to experiment for myself. Great detail work on the interior.

Spectacularly clean build.

Thanks Rich, and yeah I'd "Rather Have A Buick" like the "66 Wildcat. Thanks Ken. Thank you Ray. Thanks David, it definitely required a lot foil and patience. Thank you Lee. Thanks Bob, the color reminded me of Flame or Regal Red from that year.

Thanks Keith, I think the '66 Wildcat is a truly beautiful automobile. Thank you David, I have a preference for white interiors since they seem to provide a nice contrast. I have a couple more of these kits to build and definitely looking forward to building them. Thanks Dave. Thanks Alex, i think it's one of Tamiya's best colors. Thanks David and I've experienced a similar situation with Tamiya clears at times. They do however seem to hold up better to wet sanding and polishing than Testors clears. Thanks Monty, it is foil and my work in that respect is getting better with room to improve. No engine shots simply because it's just a basic build in that respect. I'm looking to head in the direction of engine compartment detailing with future builds. Particularly with these older promo style kits. Thank you Gerald.

Exceptionally clean build right down to the "Plymouth" block lettering on the hood. Looks great from every angle.

2006 reissue of the 1/25 scale 1966 Buick Wildcat painted in Tamiya TS-39 Mica Red and cleared in Testors Wet Look Clear. Used embossing powder for the carpets and brushed Pledge Revive It on the seats. There was a good deal of orange peel in the clear which required over two hours of wet sanding. I managed to remove the majority of it with just a slight burn through on the top of front fender that's only noticeable from a certain angle. A simple kit with a not so simple finishing process....lol.

Very impressive work merging the two kits. Your build is extremely clean.

Very nice build and looks very good in a not often seen color for a '70 Chevelle. Just beginning the build process of one these kits myself.

Nicely detailed build. I also like the tan interior.

Thanks David, I have some other kits I where this color would work well.

That turned out extremely nice. I don't normally build '50's cars either but I also have a '57 Chevy kit (an old Monogram release) which I'll build as my foiling skills improve since it will require patience.

This is a beautifully detailed model inside and out. That 1:1 is also sharp looking.

Thank you Carl.

You have a great eye for placing decals. And I'm with you on the Testors tube glue. It works just fine.

That's an excellent build from the paint, foil and engine compartment detail. Redlines are a nice touch.
