HOK Candy Apple red over gold base. Flames are HOK clear and Pearl Ex powders. Rusting done with apple barrel acrylic craft paints.

Thank you Chris.

It was a fun kit John. I plan to do another and add a motor to it. Lots you can do with it.

Thank you Aaron and Danno. I do wish it had more options like a motor lol. I do plan to build another one but put a motor in it.

Very cool bud. I am glad my points and tips helped. No need to make this an expensive hobby!

Ah, I apologize Tulio. I naturally assume people on here are from the states here. I am also not accustomed to your customs either. Windex would be the better solution in your case. I hope that the video's may have shed a little light on some of the ways to use them are. such as Windex is a great brush cleaner for when you hand paint acrylics. Baby wipes for keeping hands clean and yes Windex in your case is great for thinning but also the best way to clean your airbrush. One thing I will point out that windex has ammonia in it and will eat the seals in an airbrush if you let it soak in it. Besides that wiping it down and cleaning the needle it is GREAT stuff.

Problem is It is expensive. I use Windshield washer fluid. Here is a video I did showing some cheap alternatives and also a video showing how to use some of it. It is a great tip. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Mike. I am glad to help. By the way I live in Roy, name is Chris lol. Thanks again bud.

Thank you very much Dave!

So glad to help Scott! Great paint jobs do not need to be expensive.

Thank you everybody! Chuck, orange is a factory color that does not get used much. I think that is why you see a lot of orange on the Jeeps. I chose it because the mud would show up best on it a opposed to a darker color. I almost had to wear shades while painting it as bright as it was lol.

This Jeep was part of a 48 hour build of which I had completed in 32 hours with a lot of Coffee and bathroom breaks. It is painted with all Apple Barrel acrylic paint. Body was Jack-O-Lantern Orange. Interior was Dark Gray and Charcoal for the body accents. Different browns were used for the mud.

Thanks George. Hope it helps.

Thanks again everyone.

Hope they help William. Thanks for watching.

Glad to help Blair. Remember The easiest way to learn this is buy a 2oz bottle of apple barrel paint at walmart for .59 cents. mix it with water and you now have 4 oz's of paint. Get an old body and spray it until you have complete coverage of paint. If you have puddles or runs you got to close or went to slow. Take it to the sink and wash it off. Then respray again. wash it off and respray. You can do 6 to 7 bodies with four ounces of paint. A cheap way to practice.

Andy, We have a product called Windex window cleaner here. It is ammonia based and works fine for thinning and cleaning acrylic based paints. Only problem if you soak your airbrush in it it will eat the teflon seals. But to mix and spray with it is fine. Just make sure you rinse or clean the airbrush well afterwards.

Thanks Scott, Ron and Andy! Andy, any windshield washer fluid and glass cleaner will work. Mine don't have ingredients on the bottles. Only thing is you do not want to soak an airbrush in anything with ammonia in it. It will eat away the seals. For that reason I stay away from ammonia based cleaners.

Scott Dockrum, for small amounts of paint that's what I do. one or two drops of paint and fluid max. For larger amounts for interior and body's I mix in a cup. Usually go 1/4 inch paint and 1/4 inch washer fluid. That is enough to completely cover an entire body. Jason haneline, when she see's how much money you are saving she won't mind because she can now go spend all the money you saved.

Thanks so much everyone. Oscar White, The kit was great. No issues except I think the front clip needed to sit a little higher so the hood would have been more flush. I am thinking about redoing the hood and sanding it down on the under side the get it to sit more flush.

Thank you Lawrence. It was a lot of fun and well made.

Great job! Very, very good.

Looks great bud. Very nice.
