ScottH454 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 (edited) The project post starts off with the car already prepped an airbrushed with a white base. The script emblems were removed from the side fenders as per reference photos. The hood center molding was shaved down to represent as if it was left off. The body has been in the masking stage for months. Countless Google searches looking for other photos or tips on such a complicated masking yielded nothing. With the very few 1:1 scale images I did find I was able to finally get it to the point of painting the second color. Now I have read the actual two-tone color was some red candy color but I was not gonna risk a thick edge for this detail so I went with Turbine Bronze. There was very little color bleed, some around the back window near the molding that I hope to sand off avoiding brush touch up. My next step from here is an intercoat clear from Inspire Airbrush Paint. This is a solvent based clear as was the paint so I need to build up some courage to spray.

Snake45 Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Looks great so far! For your clear, start with a couple very light coats--not much more than mist--and let them dry before going wetter, if you're worried about it attacking the underlying paints. Drive on!

ScottH454 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hey Snake45, that's what I did an think it stayed pretty dry. Still fighting getting anything to spray wet out of an airbrush. Well, this was just a coat to seal the paint an give a base for the decals. Tonight I got decals on one side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
