Ian McLaren Posted August 8, 2021 Author Share Posted August 8, 2021 After numerous test shots with Future got the amount of pearl correct in the clear. Decanted Tamiya TS13 clear and ran additional tests. Had to move the air pressure up a bit, it sprayed much better with the Tamiya. I was nervous how 50 year old pearl powder, stored in a baby food carrot bottle, would react. to illustrate how potent this pearl is I have included a picture of how much pearl powder Brian Louw (the owner of the real car) sent me. I actually only used one level scoop full (shown) to do the whole car with about a third of it left over unsprayed. So the pearl is on, and the first coat of over clear has been sprayed. Finished spraying, clean the airbrush took one picture and left the room. Keeping my fingers crossed that when I go back tomorrow morning nothing will have changed and I can proceed with final assembly and decals.

F/CNUT Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Ian, Thanks for the kind words on my Mustang. I'am always looking for new ways that people do things, so I can try them and what I can do. Will you put this car in The IPMS Nationals next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
