The Phenom Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Hi i Started this model a few months ago ,i have been corrected a few fit problems with few parts such as the hood bumpers and window trim the model was painted in Dodge PYB Detonator yellow from Scalefinishes and clearcoated with urethane clear U-tech then i polished the entire body with 3m polishing compound,i used the geronimo works detail set to add a little realism in some areas i hope you enjoy the stripe decal is made from scalemotorsport twillwave pattern because the kit decal doesnt look right so i decided to made one more realistic here the model was polished and assembled the front and rear suspension with the photoetched disk from geronimo works the brake calipers comes with the weronimo's set Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi the 3m polish leave residues ,you can remove it with a toothbrush dipped in a mild solution of dish washing agent and plenty of water ,scrub lightly into the panel and door lines and wash the entire body and parts with clear water.

The Phenom Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Im like everyone else that paint job is incredible!what's your secret in getting such a perfect finish?. Hi! My secret? easy.. Patience , lot of effort and the most important a good airbrush. just kidding ..lot of practice is the key.,and a good finish on the primer surface ,that helps very much. The type of paint is a good start.,Basecoats works great, automotive clear thin (urethane) and a good air pressure 40PSI on clears and 25PSI on basecoats i use IWATA eclipse and revolution airbrushes ., it works very well with automotive paints. thanks!
