Jonathan Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Many thanks to @Casey for his tremendous help. This is the Revell Amigo Pack Kevin VanDam boxing. Just shot some paint on it today during a break between other projects. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Second coat of paint. While it cures out, I'll start working on all the other parts. (hopefully!) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted September 21, 2022 Author Share Posted September 21, 2022 (edited) Sprayed some clear and here we are. Of course, some polishing will need to be done. The phone camera makes the metallic look much larger than it appears in person. For some comparison, I used TS-95 Pure Metallic Red over Tamiya Pink Primer for the Miata and TS-95 over Tamiya Red Oxide Primer for the Silverado. The TS-95, in spite of having a metallic content, is somewhat translucent and the underlying color will affect the final color. At least in my experience. Phone camera does funky stuff with metallic paint sometimes. Edited September 21, 2022 by Jonathan 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted October 5, 2022 Author Share Posted October 5, 2022 Got a little bit of polishing done for the roof and hood. Still need to polish the sides. Polishing always (well, nearly always) makes me nervous - as I've burned through the paint before. But so far, so good. Not as incredible as many of the builds I see on this board. There is still some orange peel here and there, but I'm hesitant to go too far. Typically (for me) messy workbench: I plan to mask and paint the rubber trim once I finish polishing. Cowl panel should be black and not red. I also plan to replicate a spray-in bed liner for the bed: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
