Quick GMC Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Been bouncing around from build to build. Sat down and got a bunch of parts painted on this one yesterday. Doing this build completely out of the box, which may explain why I am actually making progress. I may add spark plug wires, not sure yet. Gravity Colors Volkswagen Pacific Blue for the body. Clearcoat still on the way. I think I will use Tamiya's clear on this one, but I have trust issues with it. I usually clear parts before using Alclad polished finishes, but it left fisheyes everywhere on the parts. That's why the hub caps and other smooth parts aren't as reflective as normal. I meant to use Alclad Pale Gold for the carbs, but grabbed Gold Titanium instead. I think it worked out ok. I rubbed on some Kosutte Ginsan on the molded in linkage to make it stand out. Not sure if I will use any of the wheel trim parts yet, I like the black look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Nice color. I think the trim rings would look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that look! David S.Thanks. I did chrome, then hot metal blue, then hot metal sepia, then smoke. When I finish, I will take better pics that show the finish more. It looks nice in person Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAT-T Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 LOOKS REAL NICE, HOW DOES THAT GRAVITY PAINT SPRAY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quick GMC Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 LOOKS REAL NICE, HOW DOES THAT GRAVITY PAINT SPRAY?Like a dream. I did get a new airbrush setup though. It's a fan tip .5mm for my Grex, so I think that helped a bit, but when spraying out of my regular .3 for some other parts, it comes out nicely. Closest thing I can compare it to is Zero paints. I also use Scale Finishes, their metallic paints are super easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick GMC Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Some more progress on this, I am nearing completion, but it won't be for a while, This week will be busy for work and I don't think I will get any modeling time for 1-2 weeks. I also fixed the backwards bank of carbs, thanks to Andy for pointing that out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
