MarcoTJ Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Hi! This is my first post. A Ford GT. The kit is from Revell straight from the box. Painted with polyester Paints and 2k varnish. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gluebomber Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Looks great, Marco. You got the most out of this box-stock build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Welcome! Looks like you've done a fantastic job on this build. Really like your paint work. Would you mind elaborating on "polyester paints"? (Links etc) I'm always looking for new sources, and I'd never heard of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Bacon Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 That looks absolutely fantastic. The detail, and the quality of the paintwork, are second to none. I doubt that Revell kit has ever looked better... best, M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vamach1 Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 Welcome Marco. Take this as a compliment - at first I thought it was an expensive diecast. Superb paint and detail on the multi-color livery and the decals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polyester paint is what we call basecoat car paints here in Brazil. They work in conjuction with a clear coat afterwards. The base coat dries to a matt finish and has no mechanical resistance. The 2k clear coat can be wet sanded and polished. https://www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp-0709-automotive-paint/ In this link they refer it as a BC/CC system. For airbrushing, the paint needs heavy thinning and a spray booth. I'm not sure, but I think Zero Paints use these paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
