Check this out, what do y'all think? Should I use this for models?

I really wish I had any kind of styrene or evergreen rounds, but I make do with what I have! I also just realized I don’t have any drills

I built the other kit, it came with 2 wheel sets.

I genuinely hate the wheels that my corvette kit came with, because I’m going for a clean and mostly stock model. Sadly the kit didn’t come with the classic c2 vette wheels, and I’m really bummed about that. So I went to another kit, and figured that anything is better than what they’ve given me, and I really like the wheels depicted on the left. The one on the right is from the corvette kit. As shown next to it, the wheel on the left (from another kit) does not fit with the kit. Any way I can actually make this compatible? The kit uses metal rods.

If you don’t clear after decals, how do you get them to gloss?

So clear it, then decal, then gloss again?

Polishing as in burnishing, or literally using polishing compound and stuff?

Is that BMF for the trims around the windows? How did you accomplish that level of brightness that so well matches the stock model chrome pieces?

If I use acrylic paint, how do I wet sand it? If any water comes in contact with my acrylic jobs, it washes away or just makes a huge smudge. Also I am wondering how I can apply waterslide decals to acrylic paint.

Can I polish a flat paint to make it glossy, or must it only be on the gloss coat?

I believe that Steve is referring to this: Correct me if I'm wrong, especially because I hope to use the right one.

Are these cut and polishes nonspecific to the clear coat paint type laid down?

PERFECT. I have kinda been looking for this solution for a little while. Before I invested in sprays, I wanted to know if there was a way to brush paint. Maybe you could make a tutorial?

I truly admire your work, and certainly I am one for realism, which for me most importantly is the perfect body job. I'm totally down for the time of polishing, and honestly it sounds worth it (possibly fun too). So I'm wondering what you use for your wet sanding and polishing? The same goes for you Trevor, I would like to know what you use to polish. Also, do either of you use any kind of wax or anything after polishing?
